Afua $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Afua! and I’ve been working with children for over five years. I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. I currently work as a hospital technician, so I’m medically trained and confident handling any health or safety concerns that may come up. I have experience caring for children with autism as well as older adults with dementia and other cognitive challenges, so I’m patient, understanding, and attentive to individual needs. At my church, I serve as a toddler coordinator, where I plan and lead activities that keep little ones engaged and excited to learn, which means I’m great at organizing fun, creative ways to spend time with kids of all ages. I’m also very active and love staying on the move, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or keeping up with energetic toddlers. My goal is to make sure your children feel happy, supported, and safe while having a great time. Your kids will be in caring and capable hands with me, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you have!

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
