Rachelle 2 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Rachelle! I offer dependable, engaging childcare and pet care with a strong mix of personal and professional experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including hands-on experience with my 11 nieces and nephews (ages 1–15). I currently provide ongoing care for a 13-year-old, including overnight stays when needed, so I’m comfortable with both daytime routines and nighttime responsibilities. My background includes a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Master’s in Criminal Justice focused on juvenile development, along with 14 years of service in the U.S. Navy. This has shaped my reliability, structure, and ability to connect with and mentor kids of all ages. I also have training through therapy school, which helps me communicate effectively with children and adolescents. I love incorporating creativity, sports, and music into my time with kids. I grew up playing trumpet, baseball, and softball, and enjoy keeping children active and engaged. In addition to childcare, I have over 25 years of experience caring for pets, including administering medication and supporting animals with special needs. I’m happy to help with occasional or part-time care, including overnights, and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for your family.

“After being on UrbanSitter and scouring thru profiles and messaging with several care providers - Rachelle stood out among the pack. Her bio was comprehensive and her experience won me over immediately. Experience in the military with focus on leadership, experience with kids and nephews and nieces, and an obvious passion to make a positive impact. When my whole family met Rachelle for an interview to see if it was the right fit - Rachelle nailed that interaction just by being herself. We hired Rachelle multiple times when needing help with Jase while we traveled. She was prompt, amazing with Jase, and always a delight to work with. Jase always had positive reviews about Rachelle during and after interactions with her. I would recommend Rachelle to other parents. Jase was a teen when we brought Rachelle in - and we couldn’t have been happier!”

Hello I have been caring for children for over 10 years. I have extensive experience with children of all ages, especially with infants and toddlers. I studied child development and early childhood education in college and am passionate about my work. I'm patient, calm, and love to have fun with kids. I like taking them outside, exploring in nature, playing with water, going for walks, playing pretend, reading books, games/puzzles, building with legos & doing arts/crafts.

keyon $20 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience working with children across a variety of settings. I began volunteering in childcare at my church as a teenager and have continued caring for children through babysitting for relatives and family friends over the years. More recently, I have worked in multiple school settings as a Teacher Assistant and Behavioral Aide, supporting children of all ages, including those with special needs. In these roles, I assisted with classroom activities, provided behavioral support, and helped create a safe and positive learning environment. Additionally, I have worked with the YMCA for several summers over the past three years, further developing my skills in child supervision, engagement, and program support. I am also CPR and AED certified, ensuring I am prepared to respond to emergency situations and prioritize children’s safety at all times.

Brayson $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Brayson. I’m a former Early Childhood and Special Education teacher with 10 years of experience. I recently stepped out of the classroom to be home with my daughter and to begin building a childcare program my wife and I have dreamed of—one that nurtures creativity, confidence, and emotional growth. I offer full-time and after-school care from our home for ages 2 months to 12 years, including pick-up and drop-off. I’ve worked with children of all ages and needs, including those needing extra behavioral, emotional, or communication support. I hold a bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education and a master’s in Special Education. In our home program, learning feels warm, playful, and hands-on. My goal is to help every child feel safe, supported, and excited to explore. As a dad, I know how much trust it takes to choose the right caregiver. Your child’s well-being is my highest priority. My wife works from home and helps run our program, so children always have consistent care. If you’d like to meet us or schedule a tour, we’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit for your family.

"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."
