My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.
Hello! My name is Olga and I am 24 years old. I currently work at a law firm and I am looking for side jobs. I have two younger cousins aged 13 and 15 and helped raise them a lot when they were kids and have continued to take care of them throughout the years. I have also been babysitting on the side for a few months now. I love doing activities and I am up for pretty much everything! Im very good with kids and will always do my best to keep the parent happy!
I am your sitter for Date Night, Couples Night, Party Night, or some ME time. I am a grandmother of six. Four currently live with me and I enjoy watching and playing with them. My mom use to own a daycare and I would help her with the children. People have always told me I was good with children. I understand wanting to go out and not have a babysitter. I’m your girl. Call me, I’ll come and watch the kids while you have a good time and your children will be safe when you come back.
My name is Nancy. I am the first born daughter of 8 children. I’ve been helping my mom take care of my siblings which have built the foundation of my profession. That means I’m a cook, a mom, a chauffeur, a sister and a mediator all in one. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have previous experience with being a substitute teacher for about 6 years. Through substituting, I was able to obtain a lot of my professional experience. I’ve been to a vast amount of daycares where I got to see and learn different learning styles in children as well as different approaches to learning and teaching children to achieve their milestones. I’ve been in a classroom where I’ve had to potty train and can say I was able to learn a few techniques. I’ve also been “long-term” in some sites where I was able to grow a bond with some of the children and theirs wins were my wins. I do have a sibling with Asperger’s autism who is 15, so I have some experience with children on the spectrum.

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
