Neyva $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Neyva and I am 29 years old. I have been working with children since I was 16, which has given me extensive experience in childcare. I have had the pleasure of caring for children of various ages, from newborns to 11 years old. For the past two years, I had the privilege of caring for twins from their first month until they turned two, helping them with tummy time, walking, meal preparation, and potty training. Additionally, I am certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both adults and children, which ensures I am always prepared for any emergency and can guarantee the safety of the little ones. My approach as a nanny is to create a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, adapting to the unique needs of each child. I consider myself responsible, patient and honest. I enjoy building trusting relationships with both the children and their families, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and satisfied with the care I provide. I am available to care for children in DMV area and I would be happy to discuss how I can support your family further.

"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."
