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.

Hi families! I’m Aurora — I work in the medical field and have a genuine love for caring for others. I have experience with children of all ages, including those with autism, and I’m known for being patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. Kids warm up to me quickly because I bring a calm but fun energy — I love reading stories, getting creative with crafts, spending time outdoors, and keeping things structured yet full of joy. Whether you need an occasional sitter, consistent help, or someone you can trust in a pinch, I’m here to make your life easier and your little ones feel safe and cared for. I treat every child like family and always show up with a smile and a helping heart. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family — feel free to reach out anytime. P.S. I accept payment via cash, debit, or Zelle—whichever is most convenient for you

Belen $20 per hour for 1 child

Providing nurturing care to children is essential, and it’s at the heart of the work I love to do. I’m patient, calm, and dedicated caregiver with years of experience supporting children in different stages of their development—from infants and toddlers to school-age kids. My approach is warm, attentive, and supportive, and I always strive to meet each child’s unique needs. I’m fully trained in First Aid and CPR, which allows me to respond confidently and responsibly in any situation. Safety is always my highest priority, and I’m mindful about creating an environment where children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to explore and grow. To help lighten your daily load, I’m also willing to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as tidying play areas, washing dishes, or helping with laundry. I believe a well-organized space helps create a calmer environment for both kids and parents. Above all, I’m excited to build a trusting relationship with your family. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your child feels valued, supported, and free to be themselves. I look forward to getting to know you and being a positive part of your child’s day-to-day life.

"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."
