Kymberlee $26 per hour for 1 child

I would love the opportunity to support your family as a sitter or nanny. I bring over 11 years of caregiving experience, including running my own adult family home, working as a CNA, and providing child care in daycare and private home settings. These roles have strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to meet both emotional and practical needs with care and consistency. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and encouraged to grow. I enjoy planning engaging activities, supporting routines, and building trusting relationships with both children and parents. Families I’ve worked with value my reliability, calm presence, and genuine dedication to the well-being of those in my care. I would be happy to bring that same level of commitment and compassion to your family. Please let me know if we can set up a time to connect—I’d love to learn more about your needs and how I can help support your child’s development and daily care. Warmly, Kymberlee

Maria $22 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children, families, and individuals in both professional and personal settings. I worked as a Supervisor at a daycare, where I was responsible for the safety, well-being, and development of children of different ages. I also have experience supporting families through my background in psychology, which has given me strong skills in communication, empathy, patience, and understanding individual needs. In addition, I have years of experience caring for older adults and family members, including helping with daily routines, providing companionship, and ensuring a safe and supportive environment. I am also comfortable caring for pets and understand the importance of consistency, responsibility, and attention to detail. My greatest strengths as a caregiver are my compassion, reliability, patience, and ability to remain calm under pressure. I am naturally nurturing, highly responsible, and genuinely enjoy helping others feel safe, respected, and cared for. I am attentive to both physical and emotional needs, and I take pride in creating positive, trusting relationships with the people I support. My combination of professional experience, life experience, strong work ethic, and caring personality makes me an excellent caregiver.

"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."
