Hello, Parents! My name is Mekayla, I’m 20 years old and I am a senior at Pace University. I've lived here my entire life and chose to stay for college because of the opportunities, including working with your amazing children! I have 5 years years of professional experience. I began volunteering at a daycare center in middle school and soon after began working there during the summer gaining more hands on experience. In 10th grade, I also started my own babysitting business and that’s when I realized my true love and skill for babysitting and creating bonds with lil ones throughout that experience. I worked over the summer as well at a sports camp at a country club and truly enjoyed that experience because I am so active and energized being a college lacrosse player. So babysitting is the best of both worlds for me! I also can help with any housework you may require, as well as assist your children with any homework they may have.

“Mekayla kept my VERY active 8-year-old entertained for the entire 5-hour job with a variety of activities. She is friendly, professional, and child-focused. Would definitely hire again!”

Hi families, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Tamyia. I’m currently finishing my last semester for my in Human Services degree. I have 6 years of experience caring for kids of all ages and doing different routine routines for families. One of my favorite parts about babysitting is the relationships I get to build with both the children and their families. I really enjoy being someone families can rely on and helping out wherever I’m needed. I would describe myself as patient, creative, and easy to get along with. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor activities, board games, and fun educational games. I always try to create a safe and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, and I’m also interested in transitioning into a full-time role over the summer where I can build a stronger, long-term connection with a family.

“Tamiya is responsible, kind, and my kids love hanging out with her. I would definitely recommend her to a friend. She is also great with pets ”

Hello! I’m Max, a dedicated father to a 6-year-old boy and a seasoned child care professional with over a decade of experience. My background spans various educational and recreational settings, including roles as a Pre-K specialist, PE instructor, and summer camp division leader. I’ve managed over 129 babysitting bookings on Urbansitter, receiving 47 five-star reviews from satisfied families. My experience extends from working with infants to older children, and I've been actively involved in schools, camps, and after-school programs.

I also love engaging children in STEM projects, arts and crafts, and sports. I’m familiar with popular children's shows and games like Pokémon, Frozen, Minecraft, and Bluey, and I make an effort to connect with kids by sharing their interests. I’m skilled at resolving conflicts, multitasking, and providing a supportive environment where children feel heard. My activities include reading books, hands-on STEM projects, arts and crafts, sports, board games, puzzles, and enrichment activities upon request. I’m CPR and RTE certified and look forward to learning more about you and your children. Thanks for considering me for your babysitting needs!

"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."
