Lorin $27 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children ages 0–16. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children in a wide range of settings, including daycares, preschools, elementary schools, summer camps, and private homes. My background includes full-time nannying, babysitting, and occasional travel with families, as well as experience supporting children with special needs. In addition to childcare, I offer dependable household support such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, organization, and maintaining daily routines. I also provide homework help and academic support, helping children stay on track while building confidence and independence. I take pride in building strong, long-lasting relationships with the families I work with. My very first nanny child is now 18 and in college, and I’ve maintained lifelong connections with many of my nanny families. I believe trust, consistency, and communication are the foundation of great childcare. I am patient, reliable, and nurturing, and I strive to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children feel valued and can thrive.

I’m a dependable and caring babysitter with 3 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. I’m certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, so safety is always a top priority. I’ve helped with everything from diaper changes and feeding to homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ve cared for up to three kids at once and bring patience, positive energy, and a calm presence to every home. Whether it’s a fun-filled day or a quiet evening routine, I aim to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel secure and parents feel confident.

“Julia was professional the entire time. Came on time and kept my child engaged the whole time. Our little one loved spending time with her.”

Khwezi $15 per hour for 1 child

I have over two years of childcare experience as an au pair, as well as an additional six months of experience as a nanny. I genuinely love working with children and enjoy creating a safe, caring, positive, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. My childcare duties have included preparing meals and snacks, helping children get ready for the day, keeping their rooms and play areas organized, doing children’s laundry, planning fun and educational activities, reading with them, helping with homework, supervising playtime, and following their daily routines. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and always make sure the children’s safety and well-being come first. Outside of childcare, I enjoy reading and have a strong interest in makeup and beauty. I’m creative and enjoy expressing myself through makeup. Recently, I have also started enjoying working out and staying active, which has become a new hobby of mine.

"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."
