I am a warm, reliable pediatric occupational therapy professional, child development specialist and mom to a 15 month old girl dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for every child in my care. I specialize in newborns and understand firsthand how vulnerable it can feel to leave your baby with someone new. I have experience caring for children from as young as 10 days old through the preteen years and that’s before I had my daughter. ☺️ My background in pediatric occupational therapy allows me to thoughtfully support developmental milestones through age-appropriate play, sensory activities, and individualized care. I am skilled in assisting with travel, sleep routines, parent education, and overnight care. During weekday daytime hours (Monday–Friday), I am seeking positions where I am able to bring my young child along. This arrangement can provide opportunities for social development, modeling, and interactive play in a small, nurturing environment while I continue to prioritize safety, structure, and each child’s unique needs. I’m open to part or full time for the right fit. I am also available for evening, weekend, overnight, and travel care without my child present, if preferred. Thank you — I look forward to connecting with your family!

“Nicole was so awesome with your three year old and one year old! She’s so sweet and took great care of them for a full day!”

Hello!! My name is Sarah and I am a sophomore at OCC. I love to learn, try new food, and to be active. I am very patient and kind. I have 1-3 years of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to preteens, and I love engaging them in creative spaces, outdoor activities, and educational assistance. My passion is to always create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for children. Beyond babysitting, I have experience caring for pets dogs or cats. I grew up with a bunch of animals and I am always happy to be around animals of all sorts. I am very responsible and can help with household needs and assistance like cooking, light-cleaning, and bedtime routines.

“Sarah was great! She was sweet and fun and the kids loved her!”

$29 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychological Science and a minor in Legal Studies. I was raised between Laguna Beach and Romania and spent the past four years living in Rome, Italy, pursuing my education. I have been fortunate to travel extensively, which has given me a love for experiencing different cultures, trying new things, and bringing a little curiosity, culture, and adventure into everyday life. I am bilingual in Romanian and have a good understanding of Spanish and Italian. I have cared for children ranging from 1–11 years old and genuinely love being around kids. I am active, outdoorsy, very tidy, and love cooking healthy (but actually delicious!) meals. I’m also someone who prefers real-life play, creativity, and getting outside over screens. I would love to be someone your family feels comfortable and confident having around your little ones!

“Nathalie babysat my now 1-year-old, and we absolutely loved having her! She is so sweet, caring, and patient with kids, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys being around them. She was always attentive and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my baby. Nathalie is reliable, responsible, and just a really kind person. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a great babysitter!”

"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."
