Hi! I’m a college student going into my second year with years of experience caring for children in both home and educational settings. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers to school-aged children, and I truly enjoy building strong, positive relationships with every child I work with. I'm kind, respectful, and reliable, and I always bring patience and creativity into my care.

Tim $30 per hour for 1 child

I *love* kids, from the awesome, fun 2 year olds to the teenagers that just need an adult in the room to make sure they're being cool with their social media ... I'm your guy for that. :) I'm a 53 year old father of two daughters, 19 and 13. I'm just a tech guy affected by layoffs and looking to "fill some holes in my budget," and find helping with kids is a great way to do that. Watching after the kids is fun and I get to help out some parents that need a break/some assistance. I remember being in that position when my kids were younger: wanting to go out, needing to take care of something, and not having someone trusted and reliable to count on. I can be your go-to here. I also don't mind some light housekeeping like laundry and dishes. I know I'd love to come back to my place just a little bit nicer than it was when I went out ... or at least don't have to take care of the kids' and babysitter's dishes or that wet load left in the washer before you left :) I think you'll like working with me and feel comfortable you can trust me with your kiddos.

"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."
