Asia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Asia! I'm a natural caregiver with a background in early childhood working in Preschool for a few school years and a deep love for supporting kids' growth through play, nature, creativity, and routine. Over the past year, I've returned to nannying and tutoring and currently help families with school pick-ups, extracurricular drop-offs, homework help, and daily rhythms at home. You can usually find me outside with the kids, doing arts and crafts, reading together, or creating simple learning activities. I'm CPR + First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and happy to assist with light housework, laundry, and meal prep. I aim to be a calm, reliable presence that kids feel safe and excited to be around.

Lilly $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of seven, so caregiving has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a single-parent home, I naturally stepped in to help my mom with everything from homework and bedtime routines to meals and keeping the house running. Those early years taught me how to be patient, responsible, and calm under pressure, and they’re a huge reason why I’m so comfortable working with kids today. Outside of my own family, I’ve spent time caring for children in my community and during college. I worked at youth camps and served as a counselor, leading activities, helping kids build friendships, and supporting them through the ups and downs of being young. I also worked with the Boys and Girls Club, mentoring kids both academically and socially. Those experiences helped me develop my own style of caregiving — warm, creative, and centered around helping each child feel seen and capable. I recently graduated from college, and my education helped strengthen my communication and leadership skills. I love finding ways to connect with kids individually, whether that’s through reading together, exploring their interests, or creating simple learning moments in everyday tasks. As a caregiver, I’m dependable, gentle, and adaptable. I don’t come in just to supervise; I like to really learn each child’s personality, what comforts them, what excites them, and how to support their growth. I’m also great with busy households and don’t mind pitching in with things like meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, homework help, errands, or pet care. I’ve been doing those things my whole life. I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from infancy through age 15, and I’ve had the privilege of nannying for multiple families with diverse needs and personalities. I’m open to both live-in and full-time roles depending on the family’s needs. More than anything, I care about building trust, creating a calm and happy environment, and making life a little easier for the families I work with.

Diana $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Diana and I am a 20 year old college student. I have several years of experience babysitting. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old and have worked with different families with children ranging from 1-12. I loved building strong, trusting relationships with both parents and children. I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids — especially through board games, arts and crafts, and creative activities. I am great at cooking and household chores. I’d be more than willing to give a helping hand around your home! I also have experience with pet care and have a dog of my own who has taught me great patience!

I’m the kind of person who genuinely enjoys being around kids the silly conversations, the little adventures, and all the funny moments that come with them. I’m warm, patient, easygoing, and I love making children feel comfortable while keeping things fun and engaging. 😊

"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."
