Hermela $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver with hands-on experience caring for children, including my own infant son. As a parent, I understand the importance of safety, routine, and creating a nurturing environment where children can thrive. At this time, I would need to bring my child with me while providing care, and I am looking for families who are comfortable with that arrangement. I am dependable, attentive, and happy to assist with feeding, playtime, educational activities, and light household tasks. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care while creating a positive experience for all children involved.

"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."
