Hello I am from Brazil, I came here to the USA through an exchange program to learn a new language and new culture. I am passionate about what I do, I love travel, photography, painting, and books. I cared for children of various ages and assisted with feeding, dressing, and daily activities. I believe in creating nurturing, safe environments to promote emotional, social, and intellectual growth. I provided safe transportation to and from activities and events. My strength is to engage with children on an individual basis to build positive, trusting relationships. I don't mind supporting household operations by completing laundry, cooking meals, and performing light cleaning.

"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."
