Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a graduate of DePaul University and recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a master's degree. I am 30 years old and have been babysitting ever since I was eleven years old! I have babysat children ages from 2 months to 14 years old. I love to be outdoors, bake, make crafts, dance and read. I have babysat up to ten kids at once and do not mind if it is a jam packed day full of activities or a quiet night. I am a very outgoing person and am happy to babysit whenever I can! I have babysat for over 40 families on UrbanSitter and love children. I have a full time job but am available before and after work, and of course on the weekends! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions!

Sarah was great! She was responsive and flexible and the kids loved her. We definitely hope to work with her again!

Have been taking care of my shiba inu since 3 months old who has now gotten up to 15 years and still going! Trusted dog & cat sitter for several people at this point and recurring for many because I take the job seriously

Highly professional, reliable, and was able to assist during a last minute pet sitting booking! Would also recommend hiring for tutoring as they also offer that service

Hi my name is Crystal. I’m offering child care. I love working around children because they are full of energy and life! I can work with kids of all ages. I currently have an 18 month old who I adore. I’m currently working part time and starting nursing so any extra income will help. I am willing to help kids with homework, play sports with them, and drive them to where they need to be. I will make sure I meet the physical, social and emotional needs of your child. I can also help around with dogs. I have 4 Pomeranian dogs so I have experience with small dogs.

Crystal was excellent with our two children. She was patient, thoughtful, and asked great questions.

"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."
