Hi! I'm a mom of two elementary-aged kids with a degree in Human Development, with a focus in child development, and a background in social work. Along with my professional knowledge, I bring the real-life experience of raising neurodivergent children, which has taught me patience, flexibility, and the importance of redirection over discipline. I love creating a positive, playful environment where kids feel safe, encouraged, and free to be themselves, whether that's through outdoor adventures, crafts, or fun at home. I'm reliable, energetic, and able to manage multiple children at once, and I'm also happy to help with light cleaning, errands, and pets to support the whole family. With my flexible schedule and warm, hands-on approach, I'm passionate about helping children grow in confidence while giving parents peace of mind.
“Kelsey is the absolute best! We have used her 4-5 times now and will definitely be using her regularly going forward! She is so patient with our 4 month old and is always very interactive with him! We could not recommend her enough!”

"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."
