Samantha $15 per hour for 1 child

I am an upbeat 24 year old who loves adventure and new experiences. Between being a sitter/nanny, teaching preschool, working as a summer camp counselor, and coaching volleyball, I have 6 years of childcare experience. I love planning engaging activities whether it's a new craft, an interesting kid-friendly science experiment, or a day outdoors. Creating a safe environment that maintains an open line of communication and trust is priority #1 always; but learning, growth, and engagement follow closely behind. I'm also skilled in cooking, cleaning, homework help along with other household tasks. I am available weekdays and weekends, anytime of day. I can't wait to meet you and your family!

“I was looking for sitter to help with a trip to great wolf lodge that i gave my boys for Christmas. As a single dad and 3 little boys under age of 8 thought it would be helpful to have some help. Plans completely changed and Mercury was very responsive and worked with me and did whatever she could to help as much as she could! She was very friendly to my boys and they attached and liked her very quickly! Really didn't have to explain much of what i needed she jumped right in and felt natural. She even checked in after her shift was over to make sure everything was OK. Will definitely use her again!!!”

"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."
