Hello, my name is Gemma and I have been using Urban Sitter for a few years. I have watched children from newborns, toddlers to teenagers. I am originally from Pennsylvania. I recently moved back after traveling to further my career. I am from a family of 8 children. I have been an aunt 16 times. There is always a new baby to hold when I go back East. I have cared for my niece from infant to toddler. I have worked at a Montessori inspired school. I have been a full time nanny. I feel as if all families want a sitter who keeps their children safe, pays attention to their needs and maintain the schedule provided for us to follow. I do my best to avoid screen time given the situation. I also have my own transportation. I really enjoy art and crafts activity, getting out doors if we can and being able to connect with kids. I am a full time baker during the week. If I do not have work at night or a gig booked I would be happy to help. I enjoy helping out families because it is comforting to be apart of something even if it is for a moment. Thank you for looking!

Hi!! I’m Carlee! I’ve been I Childcare for 12 years 8 of them I have been a nanny I’ve been CPR and first Aid certified for infants to adults for as long as I’ve worked in childcare. I personally have lots of furry babies of my own. I don’t mind helping with cleaning and running errands. I love to sing and dance and craft go to the park and do so many activities.

“10/10 - highly recommend! Carlee has been an incredible babysitter for our family. She's sat for us three times now, and we already have more dates booked because we trust her completely. She's always punctual, often arriving early, which we really appreciate. What stands out most is how quickly our 8-month-old daughter took to her — she was comfortable with Carlee right away, which says a lot. Carlee is patient, kind, and genuinely engaged, whether they're playing, reading books together, or winding down for a nap. She has a natural, easy way with babies that puts both our daughter and us at ease. If you're looking for a sitter who's reliable, warm, and great with infants, Carlee is fantastic.”

Providing exceptional, reliable childcare has been a consistent thread throughout my life. I began as a trusted neighborhood babysitter and went on to nanny full-time during college, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting families with varying needs and dynamics. One of my most formative roles involved caring for newborn twins through age four, while seamlessly supporting the family as they welcomed a third child. I later expanded my experience through a structured nanny share and ongoing placements supporting multiple families. Today, I work full-time in the tech industry and continue to partner with families seeking high-quality, dependable care for date nights, travel, and special engagements. I bring extensive experience working with children of all ages, including multiples and children with diverse needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified and well-versed in early childhood development, allowing me to provide care that is both engaging and developmentally thoughtful. My approach is warm, attentive, and highly adaptable. I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and enriching environment while also bringing a sense of creativity and fun to each interaction. I am equally comfortable supporting daily routines as I am integrating into travel schedules or new environments, ensuring a seamless experience for both parents and children. As an advanced skier and former instructor, I am well-suited for families who enjoy mountain travel and active lifestyles. I am also comfortable in homes with pets and happy to assist as needed. I have experience traveling with families to destinations including Cozumel, Oahu, San Diego, Seattle, and St. Louis, and understand the level of flexibility, discretion, and professionalism required in those settings. Currently booking for date nights and travel with advance notice. Fully vaccinated and happy to provide documentation upon request. I look forward to connecting and supporting your family with care you can trust.

“Amanda was wonderful! My 7-year-old took to her immediately and declared her the “most fun babysitter ever!” From a parent's perspective, Amanda was punctual, reliable, and somehow managed to get my daughter to bed and asleep on time—a feat only two other babysitters have ever accomplished! I was thoroughly impressed and would absolutely hire her again. Highly recommend!”

"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."
