Arianna $32 per hour for 1 child

I’m an early childhood educator with over 7 years of hands-on experience supporting young children in both home and classroom settings. I love creating warm, engaging environments where children feel safe, curious, and excited to learn. My approach is rooted in play-based, Reggio-inspired learning, following each child’s interests while gently guiding their development, independence, and emotional growth. A little about what I offer: • Thoughtful, play-based daily activities • Kindergarten readiness & early learning support • Gentle guidance with emotions and behavior • Outdoor play and nature-based exploration • Light family assistance (organization, errands, child-related tasks) • Open, supportive communication with parents My rate is $32–42/hour, depending on the role and needs. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both children and families, and I would love to find a family who values intentional, nurturing care. Looking forward to connecting with you!

James $22 per hour for 1 child

I love working with people in general, but especially with Kids! I used to work with children on the spectrum, and I experienced any and all kinds of behaviours. I have done caregiving before with kids by serving them food, cleaning, helping homework, and play! I love working with pets too and I like to clean the house. But most importantly, I love helping out to wherever I most needed.

I am new to the app. I wanted to let you know that I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver with hands-on experience raising and caring for children from 0 months. I have experience and understanding of feeding, diaper changes, sleep schedules, soothing techniques, developmental milestones, and infant safety. I truly love children and enjoy creating a nurturing, loving, and engaging environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for. When your child is in my care, I will treat them with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own family. I understand how hard is it to trust someone with the most important person in your life and my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I also have the support of my mother, who has many years of experience raising three children, she is a retired middle school teacher, my brothers are both engineers and one got his PDH she is available to help when needed. Together, we provide a warm, family-oriented atmosphere focused on your child's well-being. My home is also prepared for childcare, with toys and age-appropriate activities, as well as clean and safe spaces for children to play, rest, sleep, and be cared for comfortably. I am happy to take care of your child. Families can feel confident knowing that their child will be cared for in a safe, loving, and dependable environment.

“Exceptional last-minute care! Highly recommend Aria! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Aria was an absolute blessing for our family. She accepted a very last-minute request to watch my 1-year-old daughter at her home from the afternoon until 10 PM. She took amazing care of my baby girl, treating her with so much love and affection. I loved getting the regular updates and photos she sent, which kept my mind completely at ease. Aria handled dinner time, diaper changes, and bedtime smoothly and lovingly. She is reliable, communicative, and wonderful with children. 5 stars all the way!"”

"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."
