Zeynep $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Zeynep and I provide childcare, pet care, and elder care services. I have a bachelor’s degree in Child Development and about 7 years of experience working with children. I have worked in kindergartens, schools, hospitals, orphanages, and special education centers through internships. For the last 1.5 years, I have been taking care of children in the United States. I mostly work with children who are 2 years old and older. My duties have included driving children to school, classes, or appointments, preparing healthy meals and snacks, organizing play and storage areas, making arts and crafts, helping with homework, and doing light cleaning related to children. I also helped take care of my grandmother and have experience with elder care, such as helping with bathing, nail care, and preparing healthy meals. I enjoy talking and spending time with elderly people. I love animals, especially cats. I have two cats, so I have experience with cat care. I don’t have dog care experience, but I am happy to work with families who have dogs. I am responsible, caring, and love creating a safe and happy environment for children and seniors!

Grecia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hiiii! My name is Ginnete, and I’m an experienced nanny and babysitter who genuinely loves working with children. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where they can learn, grow, and have fun :) I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural and Arts Management, and I love incorporating creativity, art, storytelling, and hands-on activities into everyday routines. I enjoy helping children build confidence, independence, and curiosity through play. I am patient, reliable, organized, and energetic. I’m comfortable managing daily routines, preparing meals and snacks, assisting with homework, driving children to activities, supporting nap and bedtime routines, and caring for multiple children at once. Safety is always my top priority. Families often describe me as caring, trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to create a positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Kamerin $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kam 😊 I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with 3–5 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I love being someone families can feel comfortable and confident leaving their loved ones with. I’m great with keeping kids engaged, happy, and entertained while also making sure their routines and needs are taken care of. I’m comfortable with meals, playtime, reading, creative activities, tidying up, bedtime routines, and helping keep things running smoothly. I’m also comfortable caring for pets and providing companionship and support to seniors. I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and easygoing, but I also understand the importance of structure, safety, and following each family’s specific routines and preferences. I’ll always communicate clearly and treat your home and loved ones with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be someone you can count on! 💛

"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."
