Anqa $20 per hour for 1 child

As a 20-something babysitter, I have a lot of experience caring for children of all ages - from babies and toddlers to preteens and teens. With 4 years of childcare under my belt, I pride myself on being responsible, patient, funny, active, caring, positive, creative, and empathetic. I'm multilingual, fluent in English, Hindi or Urdu, and Farsi, and I love engaging kids through drawing, reading, language activities, crafting, music, and games. I'm also comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. Although I don't have first aid certification, I'm a university student who is dedicated to providing a safe, enriching experience for the families I work with. I'm excited to connect and learn more about your family's needs!

"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."
