Katy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Katy , and I bring a unique blend of experience, maturity, and fun to babysitting. With over 10 years of experience teaching yoga to children and introducing them to the wonders of aerial yoga, I have a deep connection with kids between the ages of 2-14. My history of helping friends with their children and growing up with a younger foster brother has instilled in me the values of patience, empathy, and responsibility. What makes my babysitting style unique? I love crafting with kids - from making jewelry to creating window art and wall hangings. I'm also certified in CPR. I love physical fitness, yoga, and aerial hammock tricks. I climb, hike, and like to stay very active. I can offer kids a fantastic opportunity to learn aerial yoga tricks, beginner guitar, ballet, dance, climbing, and even some beginner photoshop skills. I speak a little french and love singing, poetry, philosophy, and writing. Beyond these fun activities, I’m also a helping hand for parents. Whether it’s assisting with homework, cooking meals, or doing light housekeeping, I am there to support. At 39, I blend the best of both worlds: the wisdom of age and a heart that loves to play games and have fun with kids. My availability does vary depending on my yoga teaching and retreat schedule, but I’m always communicative and timely. Parents have even hired me specifically to teach their kids aerial yoga – a testament to the trust they place in me. I’m also endorsed by friends on UrbanSitter and can offer references upon request. In a nutshell, I am patient, energetic, creative, reliable, intelligent, and deeply committed to my core values. If you're looking for a sitter who offers a blend of maturity, fun, and a wide range of skills, I am the right choice for your family.

I have been a teacher, substitute, tutor, sitter, and caregiver on and off for many years. My bachelor's degree is in Landscape Architecture, giving me a specialty in gardening and nature, and I've nearly completed a course in Childhood Mental Health. I am able to provide transportation for up to 2 children under 13 or 3 people over 13. I can walk or care for dogs but I have allergies, so may have to limit exposure to them and cats indoors.

Armicia $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I have has the opportunity to care for littles for about 16 years in a variety of ways! I have had the opportunity to babysit my niece and nephews who range from newborn to 15 years old. Within the last 3 years, I regular babysit for a sibling group of 5 that ranges from elementary age through high school age. In this home there is also 2 dogs and 2 cats. What makes me a great candidate is my work experience. I have worked for the department of children services as a case worker, a victim advocate and forensic interviewer and finally I have worked as an in home counselor for children. I pride myself on being a kid at heart and my ability to play and create fun experiences for children. I love a clean space so whenever o have the opportunity to babysit littles, I make sure that the home is back in functioning order for when the parents return. I love littles and their ability and desire to communicate with us as adults in there language at every developmental stage. I do hope that you consider me to look after your little ones.

"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."
