Andie $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a deep passion for working with children and believe it's crucial to provide a safe and nurturing space where they can play, create, and have fun. My journey in childcare began at 17 when I started babysitting three energetic boys, and it sparked a love that has only grown over the years. With fiveyears of experience as a childcare provider, I’ve found immense joy in these roles—it's never felt like work to me. In 2023, I graduated from the SBCC Culinary Arts Academy, allowing me to offer nutritious meals and engage kids in fun, safe kitchen activities. I have a valid driver’s license and my own car, so I can easily provide transportation when needed. Additionally, I have extensive experience in house sitting, pet sitting and caring for animals with special needs. I’m also a great cleaner and organizer, so I’m happy to help with any household tasks if needed. I look forward to creating a positive and enriching environment for your children!

Hi! My name is Ceci, and I’m excited to offer both childcare and pet sitting. I’ve been caring for children for a little over four years, supporting families with little ones ranging from 8 weeks to 5 years old. I approach each child with patience, warmth, and curiosity, creating a calm and nurturing space where they can feel safe, confident, and free to explore. I value clear communication with parents and work to understand each child’s unique needs, routines, and personality. Whether I’m soothing an infant, engaging a curious toddler, or caring for your pets with the same gentle attention, my goal is always to provide comfort, reliability, and genuine care. I look forward to getting to know your family and helping in any way I can.

"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."
