Vanessa $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated childcare provider and a current teacher at a licensed daycare, bringing both professional training and extensive hands-on experience to families. I've been actively babysitting since I was 18, specializing in the care of toddlers and school-age children up to 13yrs old. My background gives me expertise in creating safe, engaging, and educational environments, managing routines, and providing reliable support. While I enjoy unwinding with friends, walks, and binge-watching shows in my free time, I bring a calm, positive, and energetic approach to my work, prioritizing your children’s well-being and happiness.

Nicole $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Nicole! My family and friends would describe me as a very caring, creative, fun, and person who genuinely loves working with children. Growing up in a large extended family surrounded by little ones, I naturally became someone everyone could reply on for babysitting, helping with homework, and keeping the kids happy, engaged, and definitely entertained! I also had the wonderful opportunity to babysit and tutor my neighbor’s child for a total of twelve years, which allowed me to develop a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and different stages of development. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, encouraged, and excited to learn and grow. I would describe myself as attentive, organized, thoughtful, and always happy to lend an extra helping hand wherever needed. I approach every responsibility with enthusiasm and care. I would absolutely love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust, and your children look forward to spending time with!

Hello! My name is Elyse and I have nearly 10 years of experience in early childhood care. I have worked with children from infancy through age 13, including neurodivergent children, and held an au pair position abroad for 11 months. I am kind, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy getting to know the children and families I work with to build meaningful & lasting relationships. I believe these strong connections help create a supportive and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Additionally, I love animals, being outside (hiking, surfing, biking, etc.), and spending time with loved ones. If you are looking for some help with your little ones or pets, please feel free to reach out! Best, Elyse

"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."
