Jenelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Heyy! My name is Jenelle and I'm an active 19 year old college student on the pre-med track with hopes of becoming a pediatric surgeon in the future. I'm responsible, caring, and great at working with children in energetic and fast paced environments. I enjoy creating fun experiences while also making sure kids are safe, comfortable, and supported. I'm looking for sitter opportunities to continue building experience, meeting great families and having fun! Outside of school, I love traveling, trying new foods, and spending time with family and friends. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping children entertained, or simply being a reliable helping hand for busy parents, I always try to bring positive energy and care into everything I do!

Ahnika $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ahnika, and I am a CPR-certified nursing student at Caldwell University with three years of childcare experience. Before becoming a babysitter, I worked part-time as a teacher, where I independently managed a classroom of 20-25 students. This experience strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to create a safe, structured, and positive environment for children. I also have experience caring for infants, including changing diapers, preparing bottles and meals, following feeding and bedtime schedules, and comforting children when needed. I understand how important it is to carefully follow each family's routines and instructions. I am attentive, dependable, trustworthy, and punctual. I am also comfortable caring for families with pets. My goal is to make sure your children feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to support your family!

Jill $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jill! I’m a mom of two teen boys that has her own wellness business and is looking to fill hours here and there. Prior to owning my own business I worked for a management consulting company, specifically working in technology. I loved my job, but loved my kids more and needed more time with them. fast forward 6 years and they are now very independent and I find myself having more free time. I currently substitute teach when I’m not with my health and wellness coaching clients or running kids wellness parties & camps. I know exactly what it’s like to be a working mom with a high pressure job with young kids. I was fortunate to have my parents local to help me when I had a huge meeting and one of my kids ended up sick. I realize many parents don’t have that luxury. That’s why I’d love to be there to help parents out. Whether it’s an ongoing after school pick up situation or one off “help my child needs a ride to school today”, I’d love to be there. Looking forward to working together, Jill

"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."
