Ellie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Ellie. I am the middle child of 5 and I am from Vienna, Virginia. I just finished my first year at Franciscan University, majoring in nursing and playing on their soccer team. I love spending time with kids and enjoy being outdoors, especially going on hikes and exploring nature. I have been babysitting for almost 7 years, with experience from 5 months-12 years. I’ve babysat regularly for a family of 5 boys, so I am comfortable managing multiple children. I’m attentive and creative, and I love doing crafts and playing games outside. I also love reading books and I like to bring a long some of my favorites to share:) In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, laundry and errands. I also have several pets of my own at home, so I am also comfortable with pet care if need be.

"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."
