I bring over a decade of experience in healthcare and public safety—ranging from hospital settings to transit systems—where I’ve always prioritized community care. I’ve been a head coach for a women’s rugby team, a coach for Washington Special Olympics, and a certified personal trainer. I also hold an expired CNA license and continue to bring that same level of care to everything I do. When I’m not working I’m behind the camera as a freelance photographer. Above all else, I promise to bring safety, reliability, and compassion when caring for your loved ones. Let’s chat and see how I can support your family!

Amberly $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a 36 year old mother of 4 ages 7, 10, 18 and 19. In addition to parenting my own children, I have worked in social/human services my whole life. Starting out as a camp counselor in my teenage years leading years, then onto daycares, school assistants and peer counseling. Most recently i worked with children and families who suffer from mental illness and behavioral issues in and outside of the home-in the school and juvenile detention centers. I also have experience working with the elderly and disabled. And my beautiful ten year old has Asperger’s syndrome. I also make a great home assistant. My cooking is excellent and I keep a very clean and organized space at all times. I don’t mind running errands or transporting as needed. Pets are fine outside of my home. I am looking for part time primarily but could potentially do full time depending on the hours and situation.

"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."
