Marline $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a loving, patient, and outgoing babysitter who truly adores working with kids. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14, starting with infants and toddlers in my family and later babysitting for family friends. Making kids feel safe, happy, and loved is always my top priority, and I strive to positively impact every child I care for. I’m reliable and comfortable with cooking, cleaning, diaper changes, and putting babies to sleep. I also know CPR (not yet certified, but willing to obtain certification). I love staying active, being outdoors, and spending quality time with family and friends and I’ve always looked forward to being an amazing mother one day. I’d love to be someone parents can fully trust with their little ones! 💕😇

I have volunteered years ago for 3 years at Harvest Riv, in the children’s ministry with 2yr olds to 4th graders. I have more experience working as a babysitter for Families that stayed at hotels for conventions, work from home, out of home, needing a night out, run errands, late nights, and early mornings, pick up/drop offs. I’m ok with pets in home, and I assist with Homework, cooking and light house cleaning /laundry. Ages from newborns to 12yr olds. Ask me any questions. Thank you.

Hey! My name is Naomi and I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, with my AA in Early Childhood Education. With that being said, I have been working with children for a little over a decade now and I love every minute of it! I currently work full-time in a private learning center where I work as a Lead Teacher in the infant classroom. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, pre-school, school-age, middle & high schoolers! I am CPR & First-Aid certified, have my reliable transportation & I love working with kids!! I have younger siblings so I use them as my guinea pigs for creative fun activities for us to do. Well I’ve said too much, thank you all for taking the time to read this. As far as pricing goes, I can be very reasonable and fair, as long as we communicate and work something out! I do have a standard rate of charging an extra +$3-5 when it involves an infant-toddler as this is my specialty. Of course, my pricing also depends on the occasion, day, holiday, every factor counts! Let me know if you have any questions, I’m here to help you out ! I should also mention this- my policy is, whether the sitting ends before the original designated time you had requested for me, I would still expect the pay for the time you scheduled. My rates are hourly & begin hourly (if it’s less than 3 hours), so for example if the time is less than 1 hour, I would still be paid for 1 full hour. If it’s less than 3, I would be paid for the full 3 hours. Due to the fact that my day is already planned around the time of the sitting so it is only fair, I get paid for my time, which includes mileage. Thank you in advance!

“Kari arrived on time and my 3 year old was immediately comfortable. Kari watched my 3 year old and my friends 15 month old in a hotel room while we were attending a wedding and she did great. We had to come back the room a few times since the wedding was onsite and everyone they were having a great time. ”

"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."
