Annaleigh $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I live in Gilbert with my fiance after we both graduated college at GCU. I studied film, and still work on set most weeks, but I have a lot of free time on days off! I started childcare with babysitting in 2020 when many familes needed extra childcare, and ended up nannying all through college for a couple of different families, mostly for kids in the 2-7 year old range. I also spent two summers working at the YMCA summer camp for preschool-1st graders, which taught me a lot about early childhood education. Since graduating (and having a bit more of a varied schedule due to film work), I switched to just babysitting (and the occasional dog/house sitting) on my days and weekends off. I am happy to help with dogs, but I am unfortunately allergic to cats! As far as myself, I love to read, play cozy games, and have been really loving traveling around the US this year! My favorite place to be in the world is on a beach, and I've been getting really into making my own lattes at home.

Booked by 8 families in Gilbert, AZ
Hello! I am currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology, and have an MA in Early Childhood Special Education. With experience working with children of all ages and abilities I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy supporting kids as they learn, play, and grow. I’ve worked with children in both educational and home-based settings and am comfortable with daily routines, homework help, and engaging activities. I strive to create a fun and structured environment, and I value clear, open communication with families. Safety, trust, and individualized care are always my top priorities. I enjoy reading, crochet and coffee - I appreciate any and all book or coffee shop recommendations!
“Sonali came prepared with bubbles and books for the kids and kept me informed via text. Our boys warmed to her immediately and were all smiles at the end of the evening. She clearly loves children.”

Hi! I’m Lauren 🙂. I graduated from ASU with my Bachelors in Elementary Education in 2006 and I have 10 years of experience as a substitute teacher with K-12. I also love animals!! I grew up with dogs and cats and recently had a belgian malinois/boxer mix so I am used to dogs who need extra attention :) I am currently a full time teacher and I am looking to supplement my income occasionally on the weekends or possibly week nights. I love working with children and have over 15 years experience as a babysitter/nanny with all ages. I feel that I can provide an excellent learning environment that is very interactive and help kids stay physically active as well!
“This was my 1st time using anyone other than family. From the minute Lauren walked in the door I could sense her warm temperament. My 2 year old adored her and I will be booking Lauren again. She’s wonderful! ”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
