Francesca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Fran. I'm an MFT therapist and experienced caregiver who genuinely enjoys supporting children, families, seniors, and pets. In addition to extensive pet-sitting experience, I've cared for toddlers, including a long-term babysitting role lasting over six months. My professional background working with children, teens, and families has taught me how to create safe, nurturing, engaging environments while staying calm, patient, and attentive to individual needs. Families describe me as warm, dependable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. Whether you need childcare, pet care, companionship for a loved one, or help around the house, I bring professionalism, kindness, and a genuine commitment to helping others feel cared for and supported.

Sofia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Sofia. My experience with childcare started in a garden. There I had the opportunity to care for a group of 15 children from 2 to 4 years old. There with the children we had a lot of fun, they were taught many things through crafts, we did outdoor activities, we painted, we danced. We accompanied them at lunch and snack. So later I had the opportunity to take care of a 12 year old girl and a 9 year old boy. I currently take care of 4 children (3, 6, 9 and 13 years old). I have experience in caring for infants, toddlers, 6 years old, 9 years old and teenagers. I’m an active person, I love cooking and play with kids. I enjoy outdoor activities and do crafts.

I have a reliable, caring background with several years of experience looking after pets of all ages and personalities. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and highly responsible—traits that help me connect easily with animals and provide a safe, comfortable environment for them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals, including pets with special routines or medical needs. In addition to pet care, I’m comfortable with light household tasks, following detailed instructions, and keeping things organized. My goal is always to make pets feel loved and secure while giving owners peace of mind.

"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."
