Shaunte $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Shaunte 🍓I am 22 years old! Recently moved back to the 757 area after being away in Iowa state for college, whew! I have cared for children all of my life from the day I understood how to make a bottle my first start tending to the needs of my two younger siblings, being a middle child. I have never had paid experience up until I turned 19 years old and moved to Iowa state where I babysat for a friend of mine who had given birth not long ago in between finding work; I have 6 months paid experience. Newborns and children up to the ages of 8 are the age range of experience I have; From the dirty messes of burping and changing diapers to the stress-inducing tasks of homework help and prepping meals, I have done it all haha! To keep the children engaged, I first follow the set rules made by the parent(s) whether that be no technology or no messy fun (paint, arts and crafts, etc). I am personally an artsy person by nature, dabbling in sketch work, painting, poetry and with a profound understand of literature, I look forward to slaying dragons in the day and reading bedtime stories at downtime, sometimes made up by my imagination to tailor to the child's likes and loves. Also, cleaning is a total de-stressor for me. If comfortable, I offer cleaning with products instructed for use by the parent(s) and laundry. Running errands such as grocery shopping or pick up/drop off, I am able to assist with as well. I am at your disposable and flexible with my help. I have experience in pet care, only dogs and cats, as I was raised with a parent who fostered a many different breeds of dogs (Chihuahuas, Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pit Bulls, etc.) in my childhood and I have two fur babies of my own, Asher and Ella, who are American Curl/Siamese mixes, and my lovely boyfriend has five cats of his own shared between his lovely family that I tend to daily, so I am open to cleaning litter, scrubbing down the boxes as well as dog cages/crates, typical cleanup assisted by walking and feeding as fur parents see fit; simple grooming like brushing included. I am purposeful when it comes to following a time schedule and completing tasks before the end of day so the next sitting experience is ready for a fresh start! Also, I dabble with Senior Care as well as I tended to my late great-grandmother who passed of cancer in 2020; I lived with her and assisted with bath time, routine pill taking, massages for pain, etc.

"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."
