Michele $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of 4 grown children ages 18,22,24 and 27. My oldest daughter has special needs so I am completely comfortable with children of all ages and abilities. I worked at Children’s Hospital as a CNA on the surgical unit with very fragile kids. I also worked as an ED tech at Overlake Hospital for a year. I have 2 dogs and own a pet treat company with my husband. I love living in Maple Leaf, spending time with my kids, hiking and baking. Over the years I have worked as a cake decorator and at a well known French bakery in Oakland, CA. I know how to multitask taking care of children and getting household chores done. I love children of all ages. I think one of my best qualities is, I can be away from my phone for a work day. I encourage play rather than screen time. I love knitting and doing crafts and art projects . I’m energetic and empathetic

"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."
