Joravena $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a second-year PCC student pursuing Child Behavioral Health and Social Work. I have about a year of professional early childhood education experience through PCC’s Sabin-Schellenberg ECE program and I’m also currently working toward my ORO credentials and continuing my education in Child Behavioral Health. I have around six years of experience mentoring and supporting youth from newborns through age 16. I’m comfortable with children of all ages, including infants and toddlers, and can help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, activities, light housekeeping, and emotional regulation. I’m also very comfortable with pets and currently have a dog. I’m available for occasional, date-night, and recurring care with advance notice around my school schedule. I’m reliable, patient, and calm under pressure, and I’d love to help your family!

Krystin $26 per hour for 1 child

My name is Krystin. I have 13 years of experience working in licensed child care facilities and I've had the chance to work with all age groups, from infants to school-age kids. My favorite thing about working with children is watching their face light up when that concept they've been working on finally clicks. I've spent a lot of time planning and implementing curriculum, helping kids build social and emotional skills, and making sure their basic needs are taken care of throughout the day. I also recently earned my state certification in early childhood education, which has really strengthened my knowledge of child development and best practices. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified. I'm easygoing, patient, and excel in creating positive parent and child relationships. My goal is to create a safe, fun environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I'm happy to discuss anything further or answer any questions.

"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."
