My name is Makenna! I have been working in early childhood education for four years, children ranging from ages of 6 weeks to 6 years. I am currently a preschool teacher, teaching ages 3-4 years old in a learning through play environment. I am very big on communication as I know there can’t be trust between a family and the caretaker they choose for their child. Having a daily routine is an amazing thing to have with children and I am able to follow that schedule with given instructions and keep the house rules for your child as not to disturb a child’s daily routine. One of my favorite activities to do with children is art! I am not afraid of a mess as messes can be cleaned up;paint, play dough or coloring. In my free time I like to be outside, spending time with family or coming into these cold fall days staying in for a movie and some soup. As I do currently work a full time job 6:30-3:30, I am only available for weekday evening part-time or one-time job offers and available most weekends. I am CPR/First aid certified Please reach out if you have any questions at all for me or interested in me caring for your child.

Lily $21 per hour for 1 child

I developed strong childcare skills from a young age. When I was eight, my aunt had her first child, and because I lived with her, I helped care for them. Over the following years, she had two more children, giving me valuable hands-on experience with children of different ages. My family quickly came to trust me as their go-to babysitter because of how naturally I connect with kids. Later on, I babysat my two younger siblings. I’m patient, gentle, caring, respectful, easygoing, and positive, and I adapt my caregiving style to each child’s unique needs while creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I can prepare basic meals, help with household chores, and learn new routines or recipes if needed. I value open communication and kindly ask families to share any important expectations or instructions so I can provide the best care possible.

"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."
