Ali $20 per hour for 1 child

I was born and raised in Hawaii, where I was blessed enough to help raise my younger brother and sister. My mom is a K-2 teacher, so I have also helped her at her school for a few years :) I moved to Eugene in 2022 to attend school at the University of Oregon in Environmental Sciences and am now a recent post-graduate living in Vancouver. I will be starting as a seasonal Outdoor Educator for MESD in a month and then going to Costa Rica for an internship as a research assistant for primates at Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center in November. I love the outdoors and the youth, but am also experienced with pets. I enjoy housework, yard work, moving projects, and any ways I can help.

"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."
