I'm passionate about providing a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and grow. I have a year of experience as a childcare provider, and I'm CPR trained and First Aid certified. My calm, patient, and friendly demeanor enables me to connect with children and build strong relationships. I believe in open and transparent communication with parents. I provide regular updates on their child's day and am always available to discuss any concerns or questions. I respect and follow the household rules set by the parents. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. I'm also comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. On a personal note, I'm a reliable, trustworthy individual who loves working with children. I believe every child is unique and deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Adi $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Adi, although most of my clients know me as LEIGH, and I’m excited to introduce myself to you. I am currently working as a private caregiver, specializing in child care, senior care, and household assistance. As a proud mother, I have a deep love for being around children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and older kids, including twins! I find joy in engaging with them through various activities such as crafts, singing, playing and reading bedtime stories. In addition to child care, I have experience as a household assistant. I can help with cooking, cleaning, and running errands, ensuring that your home runs smoothly while you focus on other important tasks. My experience with caregiving extends beyond children. I have taken care of my own grandmother and parents, so I am comfortable and compassionate when it comes to senior care. I can assist with transportation to appointments and provide companionship to ensure that your loved ones feel supported and engaged. Please note that I am allergic to cats and dogs, so I would need to work in a pet-free environment. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family and provide the care and support you need! Warm regards, Leigh

"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."
