Michael $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Michael. I've always enjoyed working with children and helping them learn and grow. I first started working with kids in high school, where I volunteered teaching Sunday school, and today I work as a substitute teacher, mainly providing support for students with special needs. My college coursework in psychology and neuroscience has given me a deeper understanding of child development and behavior, which I bring into my work. I'm patient, empathetic, and see the importance in creating a safe environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, keeping a routine, or just being a stable presence, I aim to meet each child's individual needs. I'm also a big animal lover and have recently owned two cats, so I'm happy to care for pets as well.

Oyebola $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Oyebola but I go by Bola. I’m currently in graduate school for my MBA. I’ve been doing childcare for almost 10 years. Watching infants, toddlers, and young children up to 10 years old since I was about 13 years old. I was an English teacher for middle and high school for about 2 years. Now I enjoy cooking, doing arts and crafts, taking walks, traveling, and anything creative! I’m also able to take care of other responsibilities such as errand running, tutoring, cooking, cleaning, or any house chores.

"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."
