Kiara $12 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Kiara! I’m a caring and reliable babysitter with experience in special education and tutoring kids in core subjects. I’m also ESL friendly, so I can communicate easily with children from different backgrounds. I love getting creative with fun activities, crafts, and games to keep kids happy and engaged. Safety is always my top priority, and I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and feel comfortable. Looking forward to hopefully working together!

Taya $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a NREMT, I have a background in first aid, CPR, search and rescue, pet care, animal rescue and more. I have been through American Red Cross' Baby Sitting Class and can provide immediate emergency care. I was a professional baby sitter in my teens for a homeschooling group and a mommy's helper! I am comfortable with most school subjects, the only things that gove me trouble is algebra, advanced geometry and some advanced chemistry work. I am confident, not too loud but loud enough to match lid energy, I love kids and love to be interactive. I also have senior experience from helping grandparents and godparents.

"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."
