Hi - my name is Keith and I'm currently a preschool teacher. I have 11 years experience working with 2 - 5-year-old children. I believe every child is capable of learning and growing in a supportive environment. I also have an educational background in English and creative writing. I'm a published author. Along with babysitting, I can also cook, tutor English writing / reading, and do household errands if needed. I'm allergic to cats but I'm happy to work with families with dogs.

Hi! I’m a reliable, warm, and experienced caregiver with a background in childcare, pet care, and customer-focused roles. I am a single mother of 3 amazing adult children. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, including feeding, playtime, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m attentive, patient, and love engaging kids with creative activities, outdoor time, and age-appropriate play. In addition to childcare, I’m very comfortable with pets (I’m a cat owner!) and happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up, meal prep, or organizing. I’ve worked in management roles, so I’m highly dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—families can count on me to show up on time and follow instructions carefully. I’m currently looking for morning or part-time opportunities and would love to support a family who values a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter.
Hi! I’m Zaira your reliable helping hand. I’m here to make life a little easier for you and a lot more fun for your kids! I’ve been caring for children for over 7 years, with experience ranging from toddlers (12 months) to school-aged kids (up to 8 years old). Over the years, I’ve worked as both a babysitter and a pet sitter. I love connecting with children through fun activities like memory games and puzzles, always creating a calm, positive space where they feel safe and happy. Safety is always my top priority, I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so you can feel confident knowing your little ones are in good hands. I’m fluent in Spanish and happy to communicate or practice with the kids if that’s something important to your family! Whether it’s a date night, a weekend getaway, or just some extra help during the week, I’m flexible, dependable, and ready to support your family. Let’s make things easier, I’d love to help!
I’m a 25-year-old nursing student with over 10 years of childcare experience, including 6 years as a babysitter/nanny and 4 years as a birth and postpartum doula. I’m passionate about supporting children’s development and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they feel understood and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and truly enjoy building strong connections with both kids and their 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."
