Abigail $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Abigail ( you can also call me Abi) . I am in my final year of medical school and looking to make some cash on the side during my free time. I am offering child care and senior care services. I own a car. **Child care**** I enjoy taking care of people hence inspiring my goal to pursue a career in medicine. I have helped to babysit children of relatives and friends, and I will say I always had a great time with them! The most professional setting will be when I served for 1 year as the Childrens Ministry coordinator for my church which allowed me to work with multiple children (ages 4-10) at a time. This role added a spark to my assigned Sundays as I looked forward to spending time with them; teaching, learning through activities, and creating fun memories together all while ensuring their safety and comfort. I have also tutored elementary school children in maths, reading and science. ***Senior Care**** Growing up, I helped my mother to take care of my grandfather who had Alzheimer’s. I have always enjoyed taking care of people especially at their most vulnerable moments which can come with aging or sickness. While in medical school, I have been blessed with many opportunities to play that role for patients of different ages. However, I am even more grateful I get to take care of the elderly both in inpatient and outpatient settings. Also, having a mother who works as a CNA has given me the chance to learn more about being an even better caregiver to the elderly. I can help with meals, drive to appointments, and other tasks. *Others I may consider* -Errands -Tutoring -Cleaning -Laundry Thanks for checking out my profile 😊

Amani $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Amani, and I’m a dedicated and experienced childcare professional with over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages from infants to school-aged children. I’m known for creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive. I truly enjoy being a positive, consistent presence in a child’s life while supporting their emotional, social, and developmental growth. My approach combines patience, clear boundaries, and engaging activities that keep children learning while having fun. I have strong experience with daily routines, meal prep, school pick-ups/drop-offs, homework help, and planning age-appropriate activities. I also bring a unique touch to my care by incorporating creativity, organization, and thoughtful details into each day whether that’s preparing fun meals, planning outings, or creating calm and structured transitions. Families would describe me as reliable, detail-oriented, and a strong communicator. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and children feel comfortable with. I’m currently seeking a new opportunity where I can continue to provide high-quality care and become a valued extension of your family.

Lakaiya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Lakaiya, and I truly enjoy being someone families can depend on. I have experience caring for children and supporting seniors with their everyday needs, and what I love most about caregiving is being able to make someone’s day a little easier while creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. When it comes to children, I especially enjoy watching them grow, develop their personalities, learn new things, and reach important milestones. I love engaging with children through play, conversation, age-appropriate activities, reading, homework help, and everyday routines. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, heard, encouraged, and cared for, and I always do my best to provide that kind of environment. I also have a passion for supporting seniors. Whether it’s helping with everyday routines, errands, organization, companionship, or other non-medical needs, I enjoy being a dependable source of support while helping seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence. I’m naturally nurturing, patient, responsible, organized, and attentive to the little things. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your loved ones requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Communication is also very important to me—I want parents and families to feel informed, comfortable, and confident while they’re away.

"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."
