Booked by 1 family in Cranston, RI

Hello! My name is Kennedy! I am 25 years old and am an elder sister to four younger siblings. I have helped in caring for each of them since I was 12 years old. This has included picking and dropping them off at school, preparing meals, bathing, preparing for bedtime, playing board games, and other fun activities! Outside of my personal experience, I have volunteered for childcare at different organizations in my community as well. I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology and Behavioral Health Studies, and I have experience in studying adolescence and childhood development alongside my hands-on experience. I have additionally worked with young children with cognitive disorders during my senior year internship. I love working with kids and getting to play again as an adult! Some of my interests include reading, yoga, exploring the outdoors, crocheting, and making jewelry. I would love to speak more to see if I would be a good fit for you :)

Vanessa 2 reviews
$29 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Vanessa, my background includes working with infants and toddlers during my teenage years in a daycare (babyU). After receiving my bachelors I have worked in youth development / education for 8 years with a nonprofit afterschool organization with students from 6th to 12th grade. Beyond supervision I can offer homework help, tutoring, snack / lunch making, light cleaning, driving to and from school, extra curricular activities and/ or errands. I am allergic to dogs but I am happy to work with dog and cat owners so long as pet care is not something you are looking for. I don’t really have a footprint on nanny websites i have also just moved here to Rhode island, I am originally from Massachusetts.

“Vanessa is amazing and you should hire her! I've worked with Vanessa for 7 years at a nonprofit where she's led a program assisting low-income youth to be successful now and prepare for their futures. She is extremely organized and always prepared. She cleans thoroughly each day after program. She connects well with youth while remaining stern and is a great role modal. And though I haven't been able to experience it for myself, I hear she is a fantastic chef! I highly recommend her for any babysitting needs you might have.”

Shanyce $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Shanyce, I’m currently a student living in Cranston, RI currently working part-time as a babysitter. I was born in the USA but i lived in Spain since I was 2 years old traveling between the two countries. I am therefore bilingual with a multicultural background and have travelled in many different countries which has allowed me to build great interpersonal skills while having an open mindset about the world, different cultures and personalities. I come from a large family and I’ve been always been surrounded by children including my 2 year old sister who I have taken care of since she was born. I’m very passionate about helping other people and thanks to my caregiver nature, creativity and experience as well as my kind personality children are very comfortable around me. I’m also very responsible and willing to help with their homework and extracurricular activities.

Hi! My name is Astou, and I absolutely adore caring for children. For the past few years I have had the pleasure working with kids age ranging from infant to adolescents, at daycares and preschools in the Massachusetts/Providence area. I enjoy playing outside, arts and crafts, reading and creative play.

"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."
