Hi I'm Karah, I’m a local with experience caring for infants and up, including watching multiple children at once. I’m currently pursuing my associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and love creating a fun, safe environment through Disney, board games, and play.

Hello my name is Alesia but of course not all the little ones can’t pronounce my name so I often go by ( Ms Lee) . I have been working with children for over 8 years in the positions of babysitting, nanny, ,daycare assistant, preschool teacher, and tutor. I have worked with all ages from newborns to 16 years old. I am a healthcare professional who loves taking on extra duties after work . I know it’s been rough for since the pandemic but Ms Lee is here to help you and your family . I am fully vaccinated .

Alesia was simply fantastic. She communicated quickly regarding the job, was prompt, professional, flexible and most importantly, took fantastic care of our kids and pets. She was very focused on our kids safety and well being. All the while being attentive, fun and outgoing. She interacted with our 15 year old appropriately and spent lots of time actively engaging our high energy 10 year old. Our 10 year old could not say enough good things about how much fun Alesia was. Games, songs, dancing, telling stories, etc. When we got home, Alesia gave us a full rundown of the evening. When we checked on our kids in bed, the words our 10 year old managed to mutter in the dark were "Best. Babysitter. Ever." Alesia is on our "first call" list of sitters! Highly recommended!

Hi! My name is Summer, and I'm a dedicated professional nanny with over 10+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I'm also a proud mom to a 15-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son. When my son was in preschool , I also worked as a substitute one day a week, further deepening my passion for early childhood education. I'm currently seeking a loving family to grow with-one where I can build a lasting, trusting relationship and contribute to a nurturing, enriching environment for their children. I offer much more than childcare: I support families by handling meal prep, children's laundry, light housekeeping, pick-ups and drop-offs, and any day-to-day kid-related tasks. I especially enjoy planning fun adventures and outings that keep little ones engaged, active, and happy.

Summer has been a wonderful sitter for our family over the years as we’ve expanded from one child to three. She’s always punctual, responsible, and fun during her time with them. She’s been a great resource to us for occasional, recurring, and overnight care. Thanks Summer!

"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."
