Samantha $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sam and I would love to help out your family in whatever way I can! All throughout college and highschool I lead a group of middle schoolers through a program back in Georgia. This included weekly visits and taking them on trips. I also was a camp counselor for a camp called Lighthouse Family Retreat where I would take care of families whose children have cancer. This included watching over kids of all ages. Both of these experiences have made me great with kids elementary to highschool age! I am super passionate about being a reliable helper and would love to discuss whatever you may need!

Dynasty $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dynasty, I’m from Brooklyn NY born & raised . I’m patient , reliable & also someone who shows empathy when it comes to working with kids and working with children isn’t just my job it’s my passion. I’m currently a paraprofessional, and I have hands-on experience supporting children on the autism spectrum, as well as children with a variety of learning styles and needs. I’ve taken care of a few seniors not to many but it is an open page in my book so I am providing those services . I’m someone who grew up around pets and pets are just another child to me so they were never an issue . I’d pet sit for everyone whether it was vacation on . I believe in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can be themselves, feel supported, and have fun while learning. I’m patient, attentive, and skilled at adapting activities to fit each child’s personality and abilities. Whether we’re working on communication skills, enjoying creative play, or simply sharing a laugh, I make sure every moment counts. Parents can feel confident knowing their child is in caring, capable hands with someone who genuinely loves what they do and understands the importance of building trust and connection.

Hannah $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m 19 years old and graduated high school in 2025. I’m starting college this year and will be taking my coursework remotely, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to be very available to a family. I’m currently looking for a live in nanny/family assistant position I genuinely enjoy being around children and love getting to know their individual personalities, interests, and hobbies so I can create activities they truly enjoy. I’m happy to help with routines, homework, meals, playtime, bedtime, reading, creative activities, outdoor time, and keeping their spaces organized. I’m also happy to support the household while children are at school by handling laundry, organizing bedrooms and play areas, tidying, grocery shopping, errands, meal prep, and preparing things for their return from school. I’m proactive and like to notice what needs to be done without waiting to be asked. Because I’ll be studying remotely, I have an extremely flexible schedule and am available for family travel, overnight care, and schedule changes with advance notice. I’m not currently driving yet, but I’m very comfortable being active and walking longer distances, as well as using public transportation. I’m also willing to arrange and cover my own transportation when needed. I understand the importance of privacy, discretion, and respecting each family’s home and routines. I take their trust seriously and want parents to feel confident knowing their children are cared for. I’m dependable, eager to learn, and committed to becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I’m looking for a long-term role where I can become a trusted part of their routine. If you’re looking for more than just a babysitter, someone who can support your children while also helping your household run smoothly I’d love to connect.

"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."
