Kallisti $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kallisti, and I'm a college student majoring in Zoology. I've been babysitting since I was in 6th grade, and throughout highschool, I worked as a babysitter in the evenings and on weekends. Caregiving has always been something I truly enjoy, kids just have such a radiant energy, and spending time with them is always rewarding. I'm an outdoorsy person who loves hiking, going on walks, and staying active. I also enjoy reading and journaling in my free time. Along with babysitting, I have extensive experience pet sitting and have earned multiple animal care certifications through high school coursework and hands-on experience. I'm CPR certified, including specialized infant cpr, and I have my babysitting certification as well. In addition to child care and pet care, I've had the opportunity to assist with senior care on multiple occasions. I have a deep respect for the elderly and a natural ability to connect with people of all ages. I'd describe myself as warm and friendly. I love meeting new people and providing care to those who need a little extra support. I'm also patient, attentive, and highly dependable. I take my responsibilities seriously while ensuring a fun and engaging environment. And I look forward to working with 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."
