I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and have over 10 years of experience with babysitting children of all ages from infancy to 10 years old of age. I also have experience nannying and teaching children. During Covid, I nannied and tutored two preschool/kindergarten children 5 days per several weeks and had created a preschool like atmosphere in their home while I came up with lesson plans, circle time, and various of other fun activities and crafts. I have 2 years of experience being a lead teacher aide in a home-based daycare. For the last 5 years I have worked as a Case Manager for individuals with developmental disabilities and am a certified Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional (QIDP). I'm also certified in adult and infant CPR and first Aid. I recently I have decided to make a career change, and during this time of transition I am offering my qualified services of babysitting, pet care and senior care. I also have a couple years of experience in professional Caregiving for seniors. I have experience in dog sitting and cat sitting as well. I am passionate about helping others and the educational value of understanding the different stages of child development and its impact it has on adulthood and well-being. A bit about me...I studied cinematography as an undergraduate at Southern Illinois University where I directed and edited short films and later transferred to Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL to obtain my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. I am creative, fun-loving, responsible, and kind spirited. I have travelled around the world, love to paint and write, and am very family oriented. Please reach out with any questions or to discuss further details to see if we make a good fit! Thank you so much, and I hope to hear from you soon. (I am also available short notice when in need:)
Hi, my name is Tewa. I am going into my sophomore year of college I have worked in childcare for 4 years now. I work with children all ages, infants to teenagers. I can help kids with homework, drive them to activites, cook them meals and prepare them for bed if needed. I can also care for pets. I do not have any experience with caring for other dogs other than my own. However I do care for my dogs frequently. I am able to walk dogs, play with them and feed them. Whatever is needed.
“Tewa has been babysitting for our family since the fall of '22. She is a fantastic babysitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone. First, she is always punctual. My kids adore when she babysits to the point that when I say, Tewa is coming over they get excited instead of sad that I am leaving. This is exactly what you want from a babysitter! She plays with my children, ages 5 and 9. She plays full-hearted with them. She jumps on the trampoline. She chases them. They have this made-up mermaid game they play together. She is 100% involved and active with them. She takes them to the park. This is obviously my favorite thing about her bc it makes the time for my kiddos a fun experience. She keeps my house clean which is always so awesome. I do not have to worry about coming home and cleaning the dishes from dinner. She has my children clean up after themselves. She follows my instructions through all of it including bed time. My kids love her laid back attitude. She has fun w/them. I am also comfortable with her driving them to/from activities. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area! Of course, she asked me to write this review and I am so sad that she might not be available the next time I need her! LOL. She is fabulous! Take the chance- worth it!”
Hello! My name is Lucy, I have 7 years of experience in the child care field. I have experience over the years as a nanny, registered behavior technician and teacher assistant. I’ve worked with children from infant to early teens over the years and love working with all age groups! I believe patience and flexibility is key when working with children, as well as making any task fun! Being interactive and involved as a caregiver is important to me when working with children.
“Lucy is the best!!”
I’m a warm, reliable, and attentive caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping families feel supported. I’m calm, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take safety and trust seriously. I enjoy spending time with kids through play, reading, homework help, and keeping routines running smoothly. I’m comfortable helping with meals, tidying up, and caring for pets as well. I show up on time, stay present, and do my best to make both kids and parents feel at ease.

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
