Melody 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Elgin, TX

Hi! My name is Melody, and I am a senior at The University of Texas at Austin. I am also a member of the track and field team. I have three summers of experience working at a nature-based preschool, where I worked with children ages 1–9. I am majoring in Psychology and researching in child development. Because of my education and experience, I love applying what I learn about child development to the children I care for. My goal is to provide each child with the best care while being able to provide a safe, engaging, and supportive presence for them. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with house cleaning and pet care, so I am also able to help provide any extra duties as needed.

“Melody came to our rescue as a last-minute sitter, and we couldn't have been more pleased! She was kind, communicative, punctual, and dependable. She showed up exactly when she said she would, and we really appreciated her willingness to help on short notice. We would absolutely welcome her back anytime!”

Ulker 1 review

I have a experience caring for children, assisting with household tasks, and looking after pets. As the eldest sibling, I played a key role in raising and mentoring my younger siblings. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. I also love caring for dogs and cats, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities and can help with homework, meal prep, pet care, and light cleaning. My goal is to provide reliable and compassionate care, making families feel at ease.

$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Elgin, TX

My name is Grace I am a nursing major at Austin Community College in Austin, TX in hopes of becoming a labor and delivery nurse, and am currently a Birth and Postpartum Doula in training! I am an outgoing, fun, detail oriented and dedicated person. I attribute these skills to dancing, which I have been involved in since I was a toddler, to my high school drill team. I am the oldest of 5 kids and have 6+ years of experience babysitting and nannying, and am a mother myself. I have an open and flexible schedule, which I can fit a part-time or full-time position into. I have a passion for caring for and loving children of all ages- and becoming a part of the family! I also love animals. I am CPR and AED certified! I have references upon request, and can pass a background check if needed. I have a 1 year old son who I plan to bring along with me to care for your family. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

“Grace was wonderful, helped us out in a pinch when another sitter cancelled. Her sweet little boy played with our girls and they keep asking when they can come back. It was a busy week and my house was a *mess* - Grace tidied a bit and got the girls to clean up their play areas. Nominating her for sainthood! Grace would be a fantastic nanny or sitter!”

"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."
