DaNyla $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hello, my name is DaNyla, and I am genuinely passionate about working with children and supporting their growth. I am a warm, cheerful, and caring individual who values creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child in my care. I enjoy introducing new activities, encouraging creativity, and ensuring that children feel both supported and entertained throughout the day. I bring three years of hands-on experience working with children between the ages of 3 and 11. During this time, I have worked in two preschools as well as two middle schools, which has allowed me to gain a strong understanding of different developmental needs, learning styles, and behavioral approaches. My background has helped me develop patience, clear communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child’s personality. I also have personal experience caring for infants. My sister has a young child, and I frequently help her with babysitting. This has made me very comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and general infant care. Along with childcare, I am able to assist with light household responsibilities, including tidying up, laundry, and preparing simple meals. I believe in maintaining an organized, clean environment and supporting families in any way that keeps their day running smoothly. I am dedicated, dependable, and enthusiastic about providing quality care. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and positive energy to your home while ensuring your children feel safe, valued, and happy.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
