Priscilla $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Priscilla, I’m new to urban sitter. I have 5 years of baby sitting/nanny experience. I have been with one family for those 5 years and am now looking for more experience. Prior, I have always been around kids. Thanks to my family I’ve had the experience of watching my loved ones grow up from babies to teens, taking care and spending time with them. I am an auntie of two boys, no older than two years old that I care for often. I love to bring good energy, I’m calm, attentive, patient, and organized. I’m willing to communicate, engage, and overall create a safe space for the kids and family involved. I have safe and reliable transportation. I love pets and do well with them as long as they do not have aggressive tendencies. If I seem like a right fit I would love to hear back and connect!

Carolina $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student currently working toward my CNA certification and I am CPR and BLS certified. I have experience working with children, including kids with special needs, and I truly love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them. My goal as I continue in nursing is to work with infants, but I am happy caring for children of all ages. I enjoy helping with homework, doing art and creative activities, and even baking with kids if parents are comfortable with that. With toddlers, I like to introduce simple ASL signs to help them communicate their needs and feelings more easily. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always focus on making children feel safe, heard, and cared for. I am also comfortable caring for pets as long as they are not aggressive, and I’m open to helping with house sitting and light household tasks when needed.

"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."
