Priscilla $27 per hour for 1 child

As the youngest of 6 siblings you can imagine all the free babysitting that comes with it. I take much pride in being the favorite auntie of the family. Family is a big part of my life. Living in a multigenerational household I’m around kids all day everyday. I’m not asked to but out of instinct taking care of my nieces and nephews is second nature. It is something that has been instilled in me since I was a kid. Coming from a Hispanic background family is everything. I believe it has shaped me and led me to where I’m currently at today. I am all about health and wellness and i’m always sharing my knowledge with others. I love all things nature and outdoor especially the beach. I’m also a proud furr-mom to Zuli my adorable Siberian Husky. As someone who grew up with lots of dogs it was only natural I get one of my own. She’s the best and I love her so much even though she can be sassy. If given the opportunity I will care for your furr-baby as my own. In my early high school days up until now, I do lots of volunteer work with children. I’ve chaperoned many fields trips for Lighthouse Montessori school and the YMCA. I currently help my church teach Sunday school and help with community events like Toys for Tots. Although I went to school for kinesiology, I’m currently working part time as a swim instructor and coach. I work with children of all ages as well as adults. I absolutely love my job, coming from someone who swam and played water polo for many years. I also offer private lessons in swimming and basic water safety. I hope to offer my skills, knowledge, and care for all children and pets. As someone who does not have children I cannot relate but simply help. I can only imagine what you may be going through and I’m here to help in any way i can. I would say my greatest quality is my work ethic and always giving my best.

Syna $32 per hour for 1 child

I truly love being a nanny because I find it incredibly rewarding to be a part of a child's world and to support their growth. There's nothing like seeing a child's face light up when they finally master a puzzle, learn a new word, or show kindness to a sibling. I love building a trusting, one-on-one relationship where I can provide not just care, but also consistency, encouragement, and fun. To me, it's a privilege to help nurture curious, confident, and kind little people, and to be a reliable support for the whole. First and foremost, I am certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid (mention if it's current). I also have training in infant safe sleep practices and child nutrition. In terms of practical skills, I'm very adept at creating age-appropriate learning activities, positive discipline techniques, and managing multiple children's schedules. I'm also a strong and clear communicator-I believe in providing detailed daily logs for parents and discussing any concerns openly. I'm patient, creative, and highly adaptable, which helps me connect with children and handle the unexpected moments.

"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."
