Andrea $24 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I have previously worked taking care of special needs kids K-6th grade. I have extensive experience caring for children with special needs, including those with developmental, behavioral, and physical challenges. My approach focuses on patience, understanding, and creating a safe, supportive environment where each child can thrive. I’m familiar with individualized care routines, communication strategies, and adaptive activities that encourage learning and independence. This applies to all kids! I take pride in building trust with both children and parents, and I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care that meets each child’s unique needs. I am also open to other opportunities such as house sitting, caring for pets (I have one of my own), helping with errands, and other. You can message me with questions. I’m mostly looking for jobs here and there.
RaNese $30 per hour for 1 child
Caring for a child means supporting their safety, growth, and emotional well-being with consistency, respect, and compassion. I bring those values to every family I serve. I am an experienced, energetic caregiver and mother, CPR/AED and CPI certified, with formal study in child development as part of my degree requirements. I am active, dependable, and thrive in supportive, structured environments that help children build confidence, healthy habits, and strong social skills. Beyond my professional experience, I volunteer with children in the special needs community and youth sports, which has strengthened my ability to adapt, lead with patience, and respond calmly in high-stress situations. I take pride in being fair, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. I would be honored to support your family and provide a loving, safe, and encouraging environment for your loved one.

"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."
