Hazel $25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am patient, creative, and approachable, with a knack for engaging kids in fun, educational activities like outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and always provide parents with regular updates via text or phone call, tailoring my communication to your preferences. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. Speaking both English and Spanish, I am eager to connect with your child and create a positive, enriching experience. My goal is to be more than just a caregiver; I want to be someone your child looks forward to seeing each day.

Hi everyone, I’m a certified nurse aid with lots of experience with caregiving for children and the elderly. Prior to being a nurse aid, I was a preschool teacher with FCPS. I’m child and adult CPR certified as well. I’m a mother of four and have three grandchildren. All of my children have finished college and the youngest just became a doctor! I can do weekdays, weekends, holidays, and part and full time positions, if I am not already booked! I look forward connecting with you!

“Ms. Farkhonda was absolutely delightful! She was thoughtful, professional and prompt. My son had a wonderful time talking, playing games and spending time with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter!”

I have hands-on experience providing care for children, seniors, and pets, as well as helping with household tasks. I’ve worked in caregiving roles where I supported daily routines, provided companionship, and made sure the people in my care felt safe, comfortable, and respected. I also have experience helping with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized home environment. What makes me a great caregiver is my patience, kindness, and strong sense of responsibility. I genuinely care about people’s well-being and always try to create a calm, positive, and supportive environment. I am very attentive to detail, reliable, and able to stay calm in stressful situations. I also enjoy building trust and strong relationships with the people I care for, whether they are children, seniors, or pets. I’m naturally nurturing, compassionate, and hardworking. I take pride in being dependable and going above and beyond to make sure others feel supported and cared for.

"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."
