Samantha $23 per hour for 1 child

Experience: I have been caregiving and caretaking since I was 12 years old. It began when my dad would drop us off at his friend’s daycare center and I remember helping prepare food, assisting with art projects, changing of diapers and connecting with the little ones. I have previous work history with SitterTree based out of Georgia and I worked there before the COVID quarantine, it was truly such a special time. I felt a special connection to each family I worked for and we were all sad when we had to part ways. One of my favorite stories about my time with SitterTree was how a family nicknamed me “Poppy” because I would bring a suitcase of art supplies and toys to play with the kids and it reminded them of Mary Poppins. Fun Facts: I am the eldest of 5 kids and my youngest sibling is 16. I am a multimedia artist and I love connecting with children through art/creative projects. I also am a former D1 Rugby player and former youth coach so I love to stay active and do my best to keep kids off of screens while we are together. I am an “animal whisperer” and tend to forge special bonds with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have a 7 year old kitty named Aspen. Education: As a former Chiropractic student with 182 credit hours towards being a primary care physician, I have a passion for holistic healing and wellness embodiments. As a former Biopsychology student, I practice positive psychology, mindfulness and compassion as core values to my personality. As a Reiki Master Teacher, I am certified in serving the community with spiritual offerings as well as certifying other practitioners through my lineage and have been an aspiring Entrepreneur for 5 years.

"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."
