Brenda $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm a professionally state licensed elementary teacher and Montessori trained educator with six years experience teaching multi-age children in the elementary classroom. I am fun, creative, and caring and have spent my whole life caring for and educating children, working with every age group from infant through high school. I love spending time with my young son, spending time outdoors, playing with sounds and music, giving him sensory and practical life experiences, and reading books. In my spare time, I work on writing projects and watercolor paint.

Gabriela $20 per hour for 1 child

As a dedicated and loving single mother of a 12-year-old boy, I have a deep understanding of children's needs and the importance of a nurturing environment. With over several years of experience caring for children, I have successfully managed the care of up to six kids simultaneously, ensuring their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. My day typically begins at 8AM, where I take pride in providing a structured routine, including drop-offs at daycare and school. I am passionate about creating a positive and engaging atmosphere for children, and my neighbors often sought my help for special occasions, highlighting my reliability and commitment. I enjoy cleaning and organizing, which not only keeps my space tidy but also helps me manage my time effectively. I am available for a background check and look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the happiness and development of your children. I am a caring nanny with experience in childcare and household management. I provide attentive care for children, maintain a clean home, and cook a variety of meals, specializing in American and Mexican cuisine. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive.

Kintayja $30 per hour for 1 child

I have over 10 years of experience working in childcare as both a babysitter and nanny. Throughout my career, I expanded my experience by becoming a full spectrum doula. I've had the opportunity to support more than 100 families, with experience caring for newborns, multiples, assisting with sleep training, establishing routines, and providing overall family support. I'm a fun, loving, dependable, and outgoing caregiver who genuinely cares about each child's well-being. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment where children can feel secure, supported, and cared for. I'm currently continuing my education within the healthcare which allows me to bring an even deeper understanding of pregnancy, newborn care, and family support into my work. At this time, I'm primarily interested in one-time, occasional, and temporary childcare positions which includes overnight. Please feel free to reach out with any 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."
