$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I have over 10 years of experience providing various forms of childcare, as well as 2 years of experience working in formal school settings as a kindergarten & preschool teacher. Some of the things I can offer are as follows: transportation to & from school or appointments, meal prep, tutoring or help with school assignments, assistance with pets, house cleaning, and more! I love spending time with children of all ages & backgrounds & would be thrilled to provide support to your family in any way I can! Especially happy working with neurodivergent children & queer families. I am currently in the process of applying for and completing prerequisites for midwifery school, so when I’m not caring for kiddos, you can find me volunteering at a local birth center or deeply engrossed in a book!

$18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Holly and I have experience nannying, senior care-giving, petsitting, and babysitting infants under a year old. I started babysitting when I was 14, and when I was 20 I started nannying for families. I am CPR and First-Aid Certified. I have 5 years of pet-sitting experience, 5 years of experience nannying school-age children, 3 years of experience watching infants, and 2 years of experience with senior-caregiving. The most important characteristics of a nanny or caregiver to me would be that they are patient, kind, understanding, and responsible. I excercise all of those principles as a nanny or caregiver!

Promise Lacey
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have lifelong, hands-on experience caring for children and elderly family members. From a young age, I helped raise multiple siblings, managing daily routines such as changing, feeding, bathing, school preparation, bedtime routines, and providing consistent supervision and emotional support. I also assisted with creative activities, crafts, and companionship to encourage development and comfort. In addition, I supported the care of my grandparents, helping with personal care, household tasks, and companionship. One of my siblings is autistic, giving me experience with patience, adaptability, and understanding individualized needs. These experiences have made me reliable, nurturing, and highly attentive to the physical and emotional well-being of those in my care.

"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."
