Raeani $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Raeani or Rae for short. I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 10 years old and currently working as a teacher assistant. As an oldest sister, I’ve been around kids my entire life. I’ve always enjoyed creating a fun, safe space for the little ones. I was the neighborhood babysitter for years, and since moving away I’ve been looking to find more opportunities to help! As a babysitter, my duties were making sure homework and clothes were ready for school the next day, staying on time with a bedtime/routine, meals were prepared and planned for breakfast, lunch, and or dinner, and coming up with new activities to do. As an assistant teacher, my role is to take over once the lead leaves. During my day, I prepare the snacks, put them down for nap time, change diapers, learn and teach the age appropriate curriculums, and send in live updates to the parents. I have also been a dog sitter/grown up with pets. My longest job was 13 months while the owner was out of state.

Kiss'Shonna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kiss'Shonna and I am seeking a full time caretaking position for children, pets and/or households. I am a well rounded individual that has had extensive experience in taking care of children in both academic and recreational settings, along with professional pet and house sitting through Trusted House Sitters (happy to provide reviews from previous sits). I have worked as a nanny before and have cared for families with up to five kids. I have a Masters Degree in Counseling Studies and completed a semester's worth of school counseling services to students from Kindergarten to fifth grade. I was also a Mutli Tier Systems of Support paraeducator for high school students. I currently work as a paralegal and would like to find a long term position that allows me to engage in my natural skill sets of providing a nurturing environment for kids, pets, and their families. I value play based learning, transparency and communication, and a balance of flexibility and routine. I am a responsive and engaged caregiver who seeks to enhance your pre-existing routines and flow rather than disrupting it. I understand that young kids especially benefit from following a predictable routine. I am a great cook and know how to prepare meals for different dietary needs and can perform housekeeping duties such as laundry, dish-washing, and general tidying. If I sound like a good fit, I would love to hear from you!

"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."
