Madison $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maddie, I’m a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of professional experience caring for children of all ages. I have basic medical training, including a BLS certification and CNA training, so safety and preparedness are always top priorities. I love supporting kids through hands-on, Montessori-inspired learning, because in my opinion children learn best by doing, exploring, and engaging with the world around them. I enjoy planning fun outings and little adventures, bringing along crafts and creative activities that spark curiosity and imagination. I have a reliable and safe SUV and a clean driving record, and am happy to transport kiddos as needed.I also prepare nutritious, kid friendly meals and when possible have the kids helping with each step. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children feel supported, confident, and excited to learn. I also have plenty of experience running errands, housekeeping, and meal prepping. As well as pet care, and general household management. I’d be happy to take on any of these rolls as needed.

Sophie $22 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a stay-at-home mom and my four-year-old son is in Pre-K during the day. I know a lot of families are struggling to find care during the PPS strike and I would love to help out since I have the time as well as any other families that just need a little extra help. I have a BA in psychology and before being a stay-at-home mom had a career in tech sales. I am responsible, reliable, and fun. I am happy to also help out with household chores including laundry, dishes, and light cleaning. As a mom, I know how overwhelming household duties can be especially when you are working full-time. I have my availability listed as M,W,F but I can work any three days that are good for you and your family. I am available 9-4.

Hello! My name is Avaree, and I’m a caring, responsible, and enthusiastic nanny with a genuine love for working with children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I have completed over 30 hours of training in child care basics, which has given me a strong foundation in safety, development, and age-appropriate care.

Lavender $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Lavender! I've been working with children for over a decade, both in caregiving and teaching roles, and I find so much fulfillment in doing so. I love watching children's minds grow and expand as they learn about the world around them, and I prioritize fostering that growth through safety and endless receptivity to their endless curiosity. I've worked with all ages and a variety of neurotypes and health conditions, including children with autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. I have CPR and first aid training, as well as a food handler's card. I'm flexible, calm and level-headed in the middle of chaos, and I enjoy the challenge of learning and adapting to each individual child or family's needs. I’ve also cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and even emus! I understand that choosing someone to take care of your child is a deeply personal and important choice. I would love to talk with you about whether I might be the right fit for your family.

"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."
