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!

Gabrielle $21 per hour for 1 child

I'm a child & senior care provider with a deep passion for nurturing the growth and development of young minds. With various years of experience in providing reliable care for families, I've discovered that my patient and calm demeanor, combined with my creativity and imagination, makes me a hit with the loved ones I care for. I pride myself on being a friendly and approachable caregiver, always ensuring open and effective communication with parents. Whether it's through verbal communication during pickup, regular updates via text or phone calls, or adapting to the parents' preferred communication method, I make sure that parents are well-informed about their child's day and any issues that may arise. When it comes to enforcing household rules, I'm very comfortable taking charge and ensuring that children understand and adhere to them. I believe that consistency and structure are essential for children's well-being.

$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jade! I’m a proud Texan with a vibrant, cheerful, and energetic personality! I love spending time outdoors, traveling, and caring for animals. I also enjoy arts and crafts, singing, and dancing. Every week, I make time for church activities and fellowship, volunteering on weekends to give back wherever I can. I have experience caring for children of all ages through my church, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, loving, and supportive environment for them. Helping others and making a positive impact is something I’m passionate about, and I look forward to bringing that same energy wherever I go! Thank you!

“Jade is amazing! She’s very reliable and flexible with her schedule which is extremely appreciated as I need a sitter on a case by case basis. I’ve worked with her before and she’s been around for 8 months now to help with my baby girl and puppy for when life just happens. A great help and i’d definitely recommend!”

"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."
