Imogen $21 per hour for 1 child
I have over six years of experience providing dependable childcare, including with newborns, children ages 2–8, and kids with special needs. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, am working toward my doctorate, and have completed coursework in Early Child Development. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, which ensures safety in my care. Families describe me as patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I love engaging children in outdoor play, sports, games, and puzzles that encourage both fun and learning. I’m comfortable caring for up to three children, and I always follow household rules and communicate clearly with parents. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, meal prep, and light housekeeping. My goal is to support children’s growth while bringing peace of mind to families.

"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."
