COVID-VACCINATED* Hello dear family, I would like to share some things about me, my experience and why I really like babysit, well, I work with children since when I was 16 years old, I used help a little girl with her homework, I also worked in one big school, I had the habillity to take care of a lot children at same time, age 2 at 12 years old, I also babysit for familes, I am so glad to had the experience to take care of twins babies, I am comfortable taking care children with age newborn to 14 years old, thats all the ages that I already took care, why I like babysitter? well, the good question would be, how I would not like? I know there are children with a strong personality haha, but all kids just want the same thing, that is have fun, thats why I never had problem with them, my priority it is the safety, but also for me it is important they have fun, they are children, children want explore, use the imagination, play, thats why I always have a great conection with them, because when I am with them, I turn a kid again!

Hey Parents! My name is Jessica and I was born and raised in Austin, TX. I graduated with a BA in Theater Arts from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been a babysitter/nanny off and on for the last 13 years. I have looked after newborns and children up to 14 years of age. I truly enjoy spending time with them and being apart of their development journeys. My responsibilities have included picking up/driving children, light child-related household duties, putting down for naps/bedtime (we love a nap routine!), cooking/preparing meals, feeding, helping with homework, reading, going out for walks, and of course general care and playtime! In my off time I have founded a nonprofit called Orísun Collective, and we host creative arts summer camps for kids in Nigeria. I would run the camp as well as teach the acting class. My hope is that all children will have the space and support to be their full selves and reach their full potential. I am a very goal-oriented person, and I know that I am capable of achieving every single thing I put my mind to. I have been hosting an event every 6 months for the last 10 years called Girls With Goals, where I bring a group of women together at my house and we talk about our goals, write them down, and keep each other accountable throughout the year. Everyone always leaves inspired and motivated to conquer their goals!

“Jessica was amazing. We hired her multiple times to watch our two kids under 3, and every experience was a great one. She was dependable, kind, patient, and very good with both children. She made us feel at ease. She is caring, capable, and experienced. We were grateful for her help and would gladly hire her again.”

Hello! I’m Kim, your go-to fun-loving, nanny who’s ready to bring a spark of 90s magic to your child’s day. With over 20 yrs of nannying experience paired with 3 years volunteering as a firefighter, I’m here to inspire, protect, and make every moment an adventure. Safety? That’s my top priority. With my certifications in occupational first aid and food safety, plus hands-on experience as a volunteer firefighter, you can trust that I am prepared to handle anything that comes our way. But here’s the real magic: I’m all about recreating that pure, unfiltered joy of childhood. The kind we remember from the 90s. Imagine those long summer days spent outside, begging for just a little more time before the streetlights came on. The jeans with stubborn grass stains your mom can’t seem to get out because your nature walk turned into fairy chasing quests. Proudly sporting battle scars from trying to nail that elusive kick-flip. Muddy hands from concocting mysterious potions. Those agonizing stretches of boredom proclaiming “there’s NOTHING to do!” that somehow turned into wild bike rides to the library to research urban legends, backyard obstacle courses, and unforgettable sleepovers filled with choreographed dance numbers, way too many Totino’s pizza rolls and maybe a couple prank calls. When I’m with your kids, forget Youtube and Fortnite. Choosing me means choosing someone who cares just as deeply about their growth and happiness as you do. It truly weighs on my heart to see how many children today are missing out on the kind of childhood we were fortunate to have. The simple, carefree days filled with imagination and curiosity that made growing up feel special. I want to help your child have those same experiences where they can just be themselves and enjoy being a kid. Have you tried and failed to find a nanny who shares your same values? Are you tired of hearing your kids say the babysitter is boring? Have you burned yourself out juggling schedules around babysitters who moonlight as actors and only want to work when they’re not auditioning? Then let’s meet! I might just be the missing piece to the puzzle you’ve been trying to solve. Being a nanny isn’t just a side gig for me; it’s what I love doing and I take pride in making it my profession. I genuinely enjoy working with children and making a positive difference in families lives and I’d be happy to bring that energy to your home. Thank you so much for your time and I can’t wait to meet you all!

“Kimberly was a wonderful sitter! She was very easy to communicate with prior to our care date and was very flexible on the day of, she was able to accommodate our need for her to come a bit earlier and stay later than expected. We were traveling for a family wedding so this was so very much appreciated! She watched five kids, ranging from 2 to 6 years old and they all said they had a blast. She followed all our instructions and asked great questions. I would highly recommend Kimberly to anyone!”

Hi, I’m Mara. I’m 27 with over 10 years of paid childcare experience, working with children from newborn through teenage years. I’ve supported families in long-term, short-term, and overnight roles, and I’m confident handling everything from daily routines to more involved care needs. I also have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and other developmental needs, and I approach each child with patience, awareness, and adaptability. My personality is calm, grounded, and attentive. I naturally create a peaceful, structured environment where children feel safe, understood, and comfortable. I’m very intentional about how I show up present, observant, and responsive without being overwhelming. I have strong experience with infant and toddler care, school routines, transportation to activities, homework support, and meal prep. In many of my long-term roles, I’ve also supported the home during school hours or summer camp schedules, keeping things clean, organized, and running smoothly so families can come home to a well-maintained space. I’m comfortable with both childcare-related tasks and overall household upkeep. I value structure, communication, and mutual respect, and I do best with families who are looking for someone dependable, calm, and proactive. Someone they can trust to handle both childcare and household support without needing constant direction. I’m dependable, consistent, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. Families I’ve worked with value that they can trust me to step in seamlessly, stay calm in any situation, and handle responsibilities with care. I take what I do seriously and genuinely care about creating a positive, safe experience for both the child and the family.

“Amazing, quick to respond and my daughter loved her. Will hire again”

"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."
