Erika $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Erika! I’ve been babysitting for more than 4 years, I’m CPR/AED and first aid certified and have completed my early childhood development certification with DCF. I’m comfortable cooking, helping with chores and homework. During high school I took medical classes and early childhood. I’ve learned how to make age appropriate lessons for children through my DCF certification, so I’m familiar with learning activities. Outside of babysitting I pet sit so I’m comfortable around animals! A few things about myself, I enjoy crafting/scrapbooking, going to the beach or walking the lake, baking/cooking, shopping and traveling! Some of my favorite activities to do with the kids I babysit are going to the park, reading, crafts and creative play. Hoping to meet you and your family soon!

Willow $14 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Willow. I’m a college student at USF studying Cyber security. I’ve been watching kids my entire life. I’ve had many jobs where watching after kids between the ages of 4 and 13 has been the main focus. I’m very craft and game oriented, but I’ll always make sure they have their homework finished before anything else. I’m a good cook, but I do ask that allergies be made aware to me so I can avoid any emergency situations. If you have any pets, I’m very well oriented with them. I have 5 pets of my own, and I’ve been volunteering at an animal shelter for 4 years now. Thank you for reading my long paragraph.

Lizette $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Lizette and I'm currently back home in FL . I was living in Chicago for the past 2 years Majoring in Graphic Design. While in college I worked as a nanny. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I’m a huge animal lover.

Booked by 1 family in Polk City, FL

Hi! My name is Angel-Grace, and my experiences includes babysitting for the church near my colleges kids (from 6months to 5 years old) twice weekly and also frequently babysitting for a few of the parent's children at their homes. I just recently moved to fl so i am looking to help out some new families and commit to be a nanny for one for long term! I have also been babysitting my many nieces and nephews beforehand, from newborn up to teens. (they were the reason for the major i chose, which is child development). I am also an online student now so i am available full time. I want to build my experience as a nanny to get better with understanding children, which will help with my future dream career in helping them out ! I also want to eventually be able to help with special needs so I am learning about that as well. I am CPR certified and I am also a closet organizer and willing to help organize any parts of house that needs it! I do not mind light housekeeping, best with laundry, also love doing arts and crafts, anything disney, and outdoor fun !

"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."
