Sophie $22 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a stay-at-home mom and my four-year-old son is in Pre-K during the day. I know a lot of families are struggling to find care during the PPS strike and I would love to help out since I have the time as well as any other families that just need a little extra help. I have a BA in psychology and before being a stay-at-home mom had a career in tech sales. I am responsible, reliable, and fun. I am happy to also help out with household chores including laundry, dishes, and light cleaning. As a mom, I know how overwhelming household duties can be especially when you are working full-time. I have my availability listed as M,W,F but I can work any three days that are good for you and your family. I am available 9-4.

Jenna $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jenna, I am a CPR-certified childcare professional with early childhood development coursework and several years of hands-on experience as both a nanny and preschool/daycare teacher. I bring warmth, structure, and a strong commitment to creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for the children I care for! I became an aunt at age 7, living with my nieces and nephews for most of my childhood taught me a lot about the responsibility of caretaking. I learned how to run a house and care for children pretty quickly! It’s become a great passion of mine as I’ve gotten older, I come from a pretty large family so for many summers I’d watch my younger cousins as well. Once I was old enough I began caring for the kids in my neighborhood, after I graduated high school I continued working in childcare and I’ve loved every second of it! I believe that families deserve more than just childcare—they deserve someone who partners with them to support their child’s growth, development, and happiness. I am excited to partner with families who value reliability, fun, and long-term commitment.

Tatiana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi family members! If you are looking for a nurturing and patient caretaker for your kid, your elderly parent, or even for your fur baby- I’m your gal! With 7+ years of experience in being a nanny for a wonderful family with three boys, it’s safe to say I’m a seasoned nanny. We played nerf wars, football, gave them pointers in basketball, played madden, cooked for them, went to sport games with them- we truly had a blast! I do miss being around kids, which is why I am looking to care for a special little soul(s) out there! Side gigs I do from time to time is dog walk/sit for friends and I LOVE spending time with elderly humans, their wisdom, quirks, and particularity in things— all warms my heart.

Kirsten $22 per hour for 1 child

I love kids! I worked for 20 years as an occupational therapist, about 10 years working with kids birth through age 5 who had developmental delays and/or sensory issues, fine and gross motor delays. We worked as a team and OT/PT/speech, and early childhood teachers/specialists coached each other in the basics. For about eight years, I also worked with kids ages 6 to 16 years of age. I trained in child/human development & did child care for about 10 years (a few months to 13 years). I enjoy creating a safe, fun, nurturing environment and engaging children through language, reading, walks, age-appropriate play, physical & tabletop play, art, helping with cooking/baking. I am very responsible and dependable, flexible, easy-going, loving, attentive and fun! For the last year, I’ve been working as a caregiver for two adults and loving it; I’d love transitioning to caring for children. Generally, I am available during the day, M-F and evenings & Saturdays by appointment. Pet care is negotiable/reasonable. References are available upon request. I hope to hear from you soon! Kirsten

"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."
