Hi! I’m Leslie, I understand how important it is for parents to feel their child is truly cared for. I’m naturally patient, and detail-oriented (comes with being a paralegal) and I bring that same energy into childcare. I love creating calm, safe routines, being attentive to emotional needs, and making sure families feel supported. I’m big on communication, I handle unexpected situations with a clear head, and I genuinely enjoy helping little ones feel secure, understood, and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable, and easy to work with, I’ve got you!
“Very good with small children, highly recommend her!”
I have 6 years of experience with working with kids. I’m studying to become a social worker in foster care so I would love to keep working with children while I’m in school!!
Hi! My name is Alex. I’m currently working in a kindergarten special education classroom, where I get to support some amazing kids as they learn and develop new skills every day. I’m passionate about working with young children and helping them grow in a supportive, fun, and safe environment. Working with kids feels natural to me—my mom is a retired English teacher, and growing up around her love for teaching definitely rubbed off on me. I’m a certified Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and also CPR certified, so I’m trained to provide both behavioral support and a safe space for the children in my care. I love creating routines, using positive reinforcement, and finding creative ways to help each child succeed at their own pace. Whether it’s celebrating small victories or working through challenges together, I truly enjoy being part of their journey. I’m also on the path to becoming a pediatric nurse because I want to continue helping children in a more medical and caregiving role.
I have been working with kids for over 10 years and I am a mother myself. I am very caring, empathetic, and I love taking care of kids. I speak fluent English and Portuguese, and some Spanish and French as well. I would be also glad to cook as well and doing some cleaning if needed. I am very reliable and do my job with professionalism and love.

"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
