Rita Isabel $20 per hour for 1 child

While my full name is Rita Isabel, I go by Isabel, and I am a single parent of a 13 y/o and aunt to a toddler and newborn. Becoming an aunt made me realize I actually enjoy spending time with children that aren't my own and I'm pretty good at it. Once upon a time I was a clinician but decided that public health is the field for me so being an urbansitter is a side gig that I enjoy and find fulfillment in. I am very responsible, detail oriented and enjoy games and crafts!

"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."
