Jaslyn $24 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience working with children in both structured and informal settings. I began babysitting at a young age (around 13–16), caring for children in my community and building a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and child supervision. From ages 18–20, I worked as a gymnastics coach for children ages 2–8, where I learned how to manage groups of young kids, create fun and engaging activities, and support their physical and emotional development in a safe environment. In addition to this, I regularly take on babysitting opportunities for family and close friends when needed, which has allowed me to continue building hands-on experience with children of different ages and personalities. I really enjoy being active and engaging with kids through outdoor play, creative activities, and structured fun rather than spending too much time indoors. I’m also happy to help with light household needs to support busy families and keep things running smoothly.

Hi! My name is Marcelly, and I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to older kids. I was an au pair in the US for two years, have worked as both a live-in and live-out nanny, and was a teacher’s assistant at a preschool. I also worked at a Christian summer camp with children with special needs, which helped me become even more patient, caring, and adaptable. I have a Nursing degree from my home country and extensive experience with newborns and older children. I’m responsible, patient, organized, and creative. I enjoy planning fun activities, spending time outdoors, reading, and helping children learn and feel safe, happy, and loved.

"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."
