Angelina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angelina and I am a pre dental student looking to take on some roles for the summer! I strive to be a responsible, patient, and energetic caretaker and I believe in creating an interactive and positive environment for every child I am with! Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing engaging activities, or maintaining routines, I am dependable and attentive to each child’s needs. As someone who is highly organized and detail-oriented, I understand the importance of safety, communication, and trust when caring for children. I am also calm under pressure and able to adapt to different personalities and situations with patience and kindness. My goal is always to make sure children are not only cared for, but genuinely enjoy their time while parents feel confident knowing they are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to provide reliable, attentive care for your family.

Hello!! I’m Christy and I’m 18 years old, I graduated from yorkville high school and currently in community college. I am offering child care and pet care! Although I’m young, I feel I have obtained experience through my family, from having 5 siblings as well as nephews. I have also took care of cats and dogs throughout my years. I would love to share my skills, if needed, including tennis, cooking/baking, crafting, and reading! I’m able to help with chores and other activities/ tasks with kids or pets. I am certified as a lifeguard so I am CPR certified, as well as First Aid training and Heimlich training. I have my license as well!

Natalie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am currently a sophomore at Miami University double majoring in psychology and piano performance. Not only do I have experience being a full-time nanny over the summer to two wonderful girls, I also have significant experience with babysitting children ages 0-16. These experiences have truly fostered my love for children and I am extremely passionate about creating a safe, stimulating, and of course fun environment for kids of all age ranges, genders, backgrounds, etc. I have a very lively, bubbly personality which allows me to connect with kids and keep up with them when it comes down to play time. I also pride myself in my patience and my ability to remain calm in stressful situations, especially when resolving conflict. I am CPR certified and first-aid trained which is a skill I have sharpened through my years of work as a lifeguard. Overall, I really love to be a safe space for kids to be their authentic self and aim to create a supportive and fun environment both for the kids and for the parents as well.

"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."
