Hello, Attention: I don't work with sick kids or recovering kids from cold, flu and so on. Thank you for understanding! Now back to me: I'm 37 years old. Have experience babysitting for 10 years on this website. I have a 6 year old and a 10 year old kids myself. Primarily looking to work for someone who would want to go on a date, to work or so on ( 4-12 hours). Anywhere from occasional to a few times a week jobs. Tutoring/Homeschooling for grades 3rd and under available for 15$ an hour at my place. Have experience from homeschooling my son since he was 2.5 years old and school affiliated homeschooling since March of 2020. Plus was totally homeschooled for 1st grade. Overnight/Daycare, closed days care is also provided. if you can bring your kid over to my place rate is 15$/hour per kid. 18$ for two etc. Have a separate room with 2 twin mattresses and also have pack and play if needed for younger ones. For older kids 3 and up I usually bring activities like a coloring book with markers , activity books, stickers or a small art project to do ( beads, mosaics) Ok with driving to your place or you can drop the kid off at mine either way is fine depends on the time of day. At our place we have back yard, pool ( gated and only operational during summer time) , toys, building blocks, magnet-tiles, marbles maze, duplos, puzzles, painting, beads, art table, and a park walking distance away it’s a walkway from our house so no roads need to be crossed ( if you are ok with me taking kids to the park). For babies we also have pack and play, baby safe toys. So if you want to drop a baby off here just bring diapers, bottles, formula/breast milk and wipes as some kids are sensitive to different wipes. Hope to talk to someone soon:)

I have at least 5 years of babysitting experience. I can also help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Cleaning. I have a license and I am safe and reliable. Being a child caregiver/babysitter is something that means so very much to me! I love children and hope to transfer to University soon to teach in an elementary school setting. I am completed a volunteer internship with Kids Hope USA through Christian Association and Eagle Rock Elementary. I volunteered in my small home church before it closed as the Co-Lead Teacher in a Sunday School program. I enjoy singing, reading, listening to stories, sharing experiences with others and encouraging children to do their best!

My daughter said she really likes Jessica. Very friendly and patient. She read books and play games with her. Recommended!

Hello families! During the day, I am a Substitute Teacher for K-12 charter schools. In addition, I am a Tutor specializing in ESL, ELA and Reading Comprehention. I have a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and I've served in the Peace Corps as a TEFL Teacher and Trainer (Ukraine, 2[removed], and Uzbekistan 2002-2005. ) I am a very caring, fun and creative caregiver who thinks outside of the box! I like to create fun activities to keep the kids busy and engaged. Not a big fan of Tech for play or entertainment! I prefer Reading books/Storytelling, Arts & Crafts, Games, Outdoor Play, Music & Movement for the little ones (play a little bit of guitar), and Cooking. Lastly, I like helping out with pets and have experience with Seniors as well!

Vickie has been our go-to person for house/dog sitting for approximately 15 years. She is responsible, reliable, clean, and trustworthy with kids and fur-babies. She has a vast experience with kids, typical and special needs, which is how we first came to know Vickie. Taking care of our dog was yet another positive and rewarding experience. We know call Vickie our good friend. We highly recommend her for Urban Sitters.

I’m a very empathetic, patient, and playful person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love teaching, creating activities, and helping them learn and grow. I have 7 years of babysitting experience with kids from 1 month old to 16 years old, and I’ve also taught ballet and Spanish. I hold a Degree in Social Communication and another in Acting, and I’m certified in First Aid and CPR by the Red Cross. I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and value nature, creativity, gratitude, and keeping a positive environment for kids. I love babysitting because children are naturally imaginative, curious, and full of joy, I love being part of that.
