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.

Raeani $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Raeani or Rae for short. I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 10 years old and currently working as a teacher assistant. As an oldest sister, I’ve been around kids my entire life. I’ve always enjoyed creating a fun, safe space for the little ones. I was the neighborhood babysitter for years, and since moving away I’ve been looking to find more opportunities to help! As a babysitter, my duties were making sure homework and clothes were ready for school the next day, staying on time with a bedtime/routine, meals were prepared and planned for breakfast, lunch, and or dinner, and coming up with new activities to do. As an assistant teacher, my role is to take over once the lead leaves. During my day, I prepare the snacks, put them down for nap time, change diapers, learn and teach the age appropriate curriculums, and send in live updates to the parents. I have also been a dog sitter/grown up with pets. My longest job was 13 months while the owner was out of state.

Tenzin $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tenzin, and I am currently a college student completing my healthcare prerequisites with plans to pursue a career in healthcare. I am CPR certified and have always enjoyed caring for others. I am dependable, patient, organized, and energetic. I love creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents have peace of mind.   I have several years of hands-on experience helping care for my younger sister and my elementary school-aged brother. I also have 2 years of experience helping care for the elderly. Through this experience, I have learned how to keep children engaged, help with daily routines, encourage positive behavior, and adapt to each child's unique personality and needs. I like chatting with kids through the elderly, spending time outdoors, reading books, or helping with schoolwork.    I can assist with meal preparation, bath time, bedtime routines, laundry, light housekeeping, and transportation to camps, sports practices, or appointments using my own car. My goal is to make life a little easier for busy families while providing compassionate care for your loved one!

"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."
