Michelle $25 per hour for 1 child

I grew up in a big family and always found myself taking care of the younger kids. I am an elementary education major so in high-school I took a preschool class that allowed me to get experience with 3-5 year olds. Then I joined my churches nursery so I got a little over a year of experience with infants and 2-3 with toddlers. I babysit my 3 month old niece often. I work at a daycare where I float around a lot. That has allowed me to have 8 months of experience with all ages up to 4-5. The child’s wellbeing has always been my priority but also making sure they’re having fun. Working at a daycare has also taught me to communicate better with kids and parents. Knowing what helps them when they can’t really speak for themselves or can’t form full sentences. After the daycare I became a director at a summer camp/after school program which gave me experience with ages 5-12.

Valentina $23 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, patient, and dedicated caregiver with several years of experience working with children of different ages and needs. I have worked full-time in a daycare with newborns, toddlers, and Pre-K children, supporting their development through play, routines, and learning activities. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including epilepsy, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. In addition to my childcare experience, I worked as a full-time caregiver for seniors, where I learned the importance of empathy, responsibility, and creating a positive daily routine. These experiences have helped me develop strong organizational skills and the ability to handle different situations with care and patience. I am bilingual (Spanish and English), and I love sharing this skill with children by teaching them simple words, songs, and phrases in another language if parents are interested. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in a fun and safe environment. Families describe me as reliable, communicative, and creative—I enjoy planning activities such as outdoor play, arts and crafts, music, and educational games. My goal as a caregiver is to provide a safe, loving, and engaging space for children, while also supporting families by being flexible, trustworthy, and attentive to their needs.

"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."
