I am offering services in dog & cat care and child care (children 0-5yo). I have a regular day job as a social worker (LMSW) but am available during evenings and weekends, primarily in the downtown/central part of Tucson. I have extensive experience in both childcare and animal care.
Gabriela $15 per hour for 1 child
Growing up with five younger siblings, I’ve been caring for children practically my entire life! I absolutely adore kids and love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable and thrive. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and caring, with plenty of hands-on experience keeping children entertained, helping with daily routines, and making sure they feel loved and supported. Caring for children has always come naturally to me, and I would love the opportunity to bring that same care and dedication to your family!
Jorah $14 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm Jorah! I've been working in childcare for much of my life. I am the eldest of three siblings, and have volunteered at youth summer camps all throughout junior high and high school. I love children of all ages and can't wait to be a mother one day. I also enjoy house and pet care as I've grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats. I would be delighted to care for your child(ren)/ pet(s).

$15 per hour for 1 childBooked by 1 family in Tucson, AZ
Hello! My name is Torrance, and I am currently a senior at the University of Arizona, majoring in English with a minor in Psychology. I come from a family of educators—both my mom and my oldest sister are kindergarten teachers—which is where my love for working with children truly began. I have spent time helping in their classrooms and have seen firsthand how important patience, kindness, and consistency are for kids. I have been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience caring for children of different ages. I have lived in Tucson for the past three years and am looking to start babysitting again. I am responsible, dependable, and very attentive to children’s needs. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, playing games, or keeping a consistent routine. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children with the same attention and care I would want for my own.
Anthony $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi - My name is Tony, and I'm a teacher for T.U.S.D. I am offering pet and housesitting services. My hours are pretty flexible if there is enough notice given. I have owned and cared for two cats in the past 20 years, and I helped care for two dogs as a child and young adult. I have also house sat for people and I'm available overnights.

"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."
