Lisa $30 per hour for 1 child

With over 15 years of nanny experience and a current schedule packed with regular babysitting gigs, I’ve seen (and handled) it all — from newborn night feedings to juggling homework, dinner, and bedtime for multiple kids at once. I’m known for being calm under pressure, endlessly patient, and the kind of sitter kids adore and parents trust completely. I bring the perfect mix of fun and structure — think creative activities, outdoor adventures, and imaginative play, all balanced with homework help, healthy meals, and a smooth bedtime routine. Safety is always my top priority, but I’m not afraid to get silly, crawl around in a fort, or host a living-room dance party. Parents count on me because I’m reliable, resourceful, and unflappable — the babysitter who can fix a scraped knee, soothe a fussy toddler, and keep the older kids entertained, all while leaving your home cleaner than I found it.

Carolina $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student currently working toward my CNA certification and I am CPR and BLS certified. I have experience working with children, including kids with special needs, and I truly love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them. My goal as I continue in nursing is to work with infants, but I am happy caring for children of all ages. I enjoy helping with homework, doing art and creative activities, and even baking with kids if parents are comfortable with that. With toddlers, I like to introduce simple ASL signs to help them communicate their needs and feelings more easily. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always focus on making children feel safe, heard, and cared for. I am also comfortable caring for pets as long as they are not aggressive, and I’m open to helping with house sitting and light household tasks when needed.

"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."
