Ashley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Ashley, a responsible and caring person who enjoys working with children. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, fun and supportive environment while being patient, dependable and attentive to each child's needs. I'm excited to bring that same level of care and positivity to a family's home. I have 4 years of childcare experience, including 2 years of nanny experience caring for children ages 1–3 years old. As a nanny, I supported children’s daily routines, prepared meals and snacks, assisted with hygiene, planned age-appropriate activities, and created a safe, nurturing environment where children could learn and grow. I also have 2 years of experience as a camp counselor at a camp for children and teens with special needs, caring for campers ages 6 and up. I supervised activities, ensured safety, provided emotional support, and helped create an inclusive and encouraging environment. Additionally, I have volunteered in a children’s cancer ward, supporting young patients with compassion and care. I am patient, responsible, creative, and passionate about helping children feel safe, valued, and supported. My favorite part of being a nanny is building meaningful connections with children. I love spending time with them, watching their personalities shine, and being part of their growth and everyday adventures.

"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."
