Lavender $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Lavender! I've been working with children for over a decade, both in caregiving and teaching roles, and I find so much fulfillment in doing so. I love watching children's minds grow and expand as they learn about the world around them, and I prioritize fostering that growth through safety and endless receptivity to their endless curiosity. I've worked with all ages and a variety of neurotypes and health conditions, including children with autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. I have CPR and first aid training, as well as a food handler's card. I'm flexible, calm and level-headed in the middle of chaos, and I enjoy the challenge of learning and adapting to each individual child or family's needs. I’ve also cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and even emus! I understand that choosing someone to take care of your child is a deeply personal and important choice. I would love to talk with you about whether I might be the right fit for your family.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
