$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jovana! I graduated college in June of 2024. I offer childcare and pet care. I have been babysitting on and off since I was 18 years old. I have about a year experience with children ages 6 to 8. I also have around 3 years of experience with children ages 2-5. I enjoy preparing snacks and helping the kiddos with homework if needed. I try to come up with fun ways to keep the kids busy, such as playing board games, building forts, and the occasional dance party. As far as pet care, I grew up having two cats and currently have a German Sheppard. I am comfortable taking dogs on walks and feeding the animals when necessary. I am also open to household chores/errands if needed! I can cook, clean, or take the kids to and from activities after school.

“Jovana has been an incredible babysitter for our family over the past five years. She has been taking care of our two kids (now 7 and 5) and we couldn’t ask for someone better. She is fun, reliable, and truly great with children. Our kids absolutely love spending time with her, they always look forward to the creative activities and games she comes up with. Beyond being fun, she is also responsible and dependable. We always feel at ease knowing our children are in her care. She balances playfulness with ensuring they follow routines and stay safe. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about kids and makes babysitting a positive experience, we highly recommend Jovana”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
