Brittany $23 per hour for 1 child

I'm the oldest of my family including 40 first cousins. Kids were always around when I was growing up, and I always loved to take care of my cousins. I also grew up out in the woods with tons of dogs, pet chickens, and I learned to care for animals from a young age. As I got older, I became the main caretaker for my nephew who is 3 and the rest of my family is a bit jealous of how he gravitates towards me. I have never lost that childhood love of play, and I think that is what makes me an amazing caretaker, I know how to get on a level playing field with a kid and make even the hardest tasks fun and challenging. I'm calm and easy to be around kind of person, and that calm energy is grounding for kids and pets alike. I also am a very clean person and I like to keep my environment as tidy as possible.

Hi! :) My name is Ruby, and I’m a sitter who genuinely loves working with kids and being someone families can rely on. I grew up helping raise my nieces and nephews, so childcare has always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to middle school age, including early mornings and full-day care while parents were at work. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, bottle feeding, meal prep, bedtime routines, and light household tasks like dishes and laundry. Since joining UrbanSitter, I’ve also gained experience working with different families and adapting to different routines, parenting styles, and age groups. One of my nephews has nut and egg allergies (and previously had a milk allergy), so I’m very cautious about food safety and always pay close attention to labels and cross-contamination. Safety is always my top priority. I also love keeping kids engaged with fun but meaningful activities like puzzles, reading, music and dancing, crafts, and little learning games. I enjoy finding creative ways to make activities both entertaining and educational. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, currently finishing school through homeschooling, and working toward getting my CPR/First Aid certification and driver’s license. I’m responsible, patient, outgoing, and truly enjoy building positive connections with the kids I care for. Although professional babysitting/nannying is still fairly new to me, childcare itself has always been a big part of my life, and I’ve continued gaining experience through the families I’ve worked with on UrbanSitter. I’m confident in my ability to provide a safe, dependable, and positive environment for the kids I care for, and I’m always willing to learn and grow with each family I work with.

"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."
