Hi I’m Evelyn. I’m a college junior and work with kids in my free time. I have two years of traditional daycare experience ages 4 months to 12 years. I’m willing to help with homework and housework, while also doing general childcare. I enjoy cats and dogs, math is probably my favorite subject, and I really enjoy a good game of make believe.

Booked by 1 family in Mechanicsville, VA

Hi, my name is ShaQuoria, but friends call me Gabby! I currently live in Henrico, VA, but I was born and raised in AL and just moved here from CA. I have 10+ years experience if you count me caring for my younger siblings and neighboring children. I have babysat for a couple of times, but my experience is within babysitting my siblings, neighboring kids, or helping at my hometown’s daycare. I have worked as an ABA therapist, and BHT with a total of about two years experience in this, caring for adults and children with special needs. I have been a CNA for almost four years, and have worked in all settings: hospice, in-home, assisted living, health & rehab, hospital, acute, palliative, etc.. I love to clean, cook, and since I have sisters and little cousins; I love to take them to get ice cream, and to the park, specifically the water park because it’s so hot & humid back home! I have my own vehicle. Although, I am 23, I want to communicate with children in a way they will understand and love. I have a kind heart and I am very patient. I am certified by AHA for BLS. I have 3 AS degrees from Los Angeles Harbor Community College. One in Pre-Health Professions, Mathematics & Social Sciences, and Health & Fitness. I currently attend VCU School of Nursing, and aspire to be an example of a curious and non-judgmental human being in life. I want to help with school work, bake, paint, sing, play games/sports, or do any extra-curricular activities as well.

Ciara $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny with a strong background in both classroom settings and in-home childcare. While I’ve worked with children of all ages, I’m especially passionate about caring for babies and children of all ages — it’s where I feel most at home and where my skills shine the brightest. I bring a blend of intelligence, fun, energy, and creativity to every family I work with. My experience ranges from supporting childhood growth and learning, to cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I’ve also had the opportunity to travel with several long‑term families, which has helped me build deep, lasting relationships and a strong sense of trust with the children and parents I support. My goal as a nanny is to provide exceptional care while helping children learn, grow, and feel genuinely loved and supported. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment and becoming a reliable, positive presence in each child’s life.

"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."
