Alysta $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Alysta, and I’ve been babysitting for about 6 years. Most of my experience is with younger children, including infants and toddlers, but I enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I truly love helping children learn, play, and grow in a safe and fun environment. Families I’ve worked with describe me as kind, reliable, and patient someone their kids get excited to see! I enjoy planning creative activities, reading stories, and making sure each child feels comfortable and cared for. I take safety seriously and always treat every child as if they were my own family. Whether you need a regular sitter, last-minute help, or someone trustworthy for a date night, I’d love to lend a hand. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your days a little easier!

Ashley $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley, and I’m a student at VCU majoring in Health, Physical Education, and Exercise Science with a pre-dental focus. I also work as a dental assistant, which has taught me how to be patient, detail-oriented, and great under pressure — all skills I bring into babysitting! I genuinely love working with kids and being part of a family-centered environment. I enjoy going on walks, doing arts and crafts, and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I'm very family-oriented, easy to get along with, and always open to learning new things. I also love animals, so pets are a plus! I'm reliable, caring, and always aim to create a safe and fun space for children. Looking forward to meeting your family!

"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."
