Zainab $25 per hour for 1 child

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. My year of experience babysitting has solidified my desire to positively impact young lives and support families. I'm patient, friendly, and dedicated to providing a safe and engaging environment for your child. I'm comfortable caring for one child and experienced with ages 0-12+. I have First Aid Training and can assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I communicate updates via your preferred method. While I respect household rules, I am not strict. My goal is to ensure your child feels loved and secure while in my care.

Marisa $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a very caring and responsible person that understands the seriousness of taking care of someone else's loved ones, but I can also be very goofy and imaginative when appropriate. With children, I believe in the importance of fostering natural curiosity, critical thinking, and imagination. I also believe in the importance of spending time outside, being artistic, and engaging with new learning experiences for young children's development and sense of confidence. I have direct experience working with kids from spending many summers as a counselor/aide at my own summer camp throughout high school, an education intern both at an environmental camp and a local zoo, and from nannying a 3 year old for 6 months. In addition to that, I am a big sister and because of that I've always had a parenting/maternal side to myself unlocked. I love being outside, playing games, and I am very crafty (painting, drawing, clay/sculpture, collages, dress-up). I also have 3 years experience as a pet walker/sitter and am always open to pet care opportunities as well.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
