Laura $35 per hour for 1 child

Child at Heart ♡ I have been caring for children since I was a young girl and it brings me such joy. Which is why I have done everything from babysitting/nanny to coaching a Special Olympics team, to teaching Art Therapy at the Ronald McDonald House, to teaching swimming, photography, and English to kids, in the US and abroad. I do have my certification for AED, Adult, Child, Infant CPR & AED Training, valid until 03/20/28 and a safe SUV for driving infants to teens. For me the joy is finding what excites each child - and then creating an opportunity for play and learning, whatever the age. Currently (and always!) I am writing a children's book series and want to spend more time with kids. All ages are a fun and creative exploration for me too - always working to find new ways to keep them safe, happy and curious! Teaching for me includes: being in nature, long walks outside, reading, writing, cooking, drawing, games, crafting or building robots, play, music, sport, meditation, kindness, ART, making videos, taking pictures, swimming, yoga, and so much more! Unique: I enjoy exposing young learners to new languages (even infants) including Chinese, Japanese and French. In addition, I do have a small service dog that kids love to play with, read to and cuddle with. She also loves giving hugs!

Kailane $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families 🤍 My name is Kailane, and caring for children is something that truly comes from my heart. I’m naturally patient, calm, affectionate, and very attentive. I don’t just supervise children — I genuinely engage with them, listen to them, and create a warm, safe environment where they feel secure, understood, and happy. I have experience caring for toddlers and school-age children, and I’ve also worked in a school environment, which helped me develop strong skills in structure, communication, and understanding different personalities and developmental stages. In addition, I have experience working with children with special needs. This has taught me to be even more patient, observant, adaptable, and emotionally supportive. I understand that every child is unique and deserves individualized care, kindness, and consistency. I’m comfortable managing: • Mealtime and light meal prep • Bath and bedtime routines • School pick-ups and drop-offs • Homework support • Structured daily routines • Creative and educational play I’m a licensed driver with over 2 years of driving experience and a clean driving record, so I’m confident and responsible when it comes to transportation if needed. I’m very respectful of each family’s parenting style and house rules. I value communication and always want parents to feel completely comfortable and at peace when they’re away. I’m new to UrbanSitter, so I don’t have many reviews or a video introduction yet, but I would truly love to schedule a video call to properly introduce myself and answer any questions you may have. Building trust and a genuine connection with families is extremely important to me. My goal is always to be a calm, loving, and reliable presence in your child’s life 🤍 Looking forward to meeting your family ✨ — Kailane

"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."
