Sebabatso $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a patient, down-to-earth, and reliable individual who values punctuality and consistency. While I may be quiet at first, I am very attentive and caring once I get to know people. My childcare experience began at home helping care for my younger brother, who is now 8 years old. This early responsibility inspired me to pursue professional experience, and I volunteered at a daycare in my home country to deepen my understanding of child development. After that, I worked as an au pair in the United States for two years, where I gained hands-on experience supporting children and families in a structured environment. These experiences have strengthened my responsibility, adaptability, and genuine love for working with children. I am happy to tell you more about all that as soon as we connect!

"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."
