“Naomi was wonderful with our 2.5yo and 4mo old daughters. She was very professional, and understood the different needs of both ages. Even though 2.5yo is very attached to me, Naomi was able to easily keep her engaged and she even asked when Naomi was coming back to play with her. I would highly recommend her. ”
Hi! I have been regularly babysitting children for 13 years now and love it. I work at The Roxie Theater as a projectionist and love to make art in my spare time. Each child has different needs and personalities and I am excited and prepared to get to know them and help them grow into kind and caring individuals. I am always excited to do some arts and crafts, visit the park, create fun games, and run off some energy. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Hope to see you soon!
“Minnie was amazing. Kind, prompt, great with our 1.5 year old! ”
Hi, My name is Ania, I'm originally from Poland and I've been working as a nanny/babysitter/ mother’s helper since July 2015. I have experience taking care of children ages 6 months to 13yo. My most recent experience: August 2025- now: taking care of 8mo girl (feeding, changing diapers, assisting with sleep training, play time in and outdoors) August 2021-present: siblings 11 and 13 yo, school pick ups, cooking dinner, play with kids, bedtime routine. August 2020- present: started with taking care of 17mo and 4yo siblings through school pick ups and taking them to after school activities when they got older. Recently my role with this family transitioned to family helper (cooking dinner for kids, taking care of laundry, dishes and kids bedtime routine, etc.) I'm trustworthy, caring, very well organized and warm person which loves kids’ energy and authenticity! If needed I can provide references from families I worked for - I'm sure they will be happy to speak with you if you're interested. Also, I'm an experienced driver. I have clean driving record. I don’t have my own car though. Looking forward to meet and work with you! Thank you, Ania

Hi there! I’m Naweera, and I have several years of childcare experience caring for children ranging from 9-month-old infants to children over 10 years old. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for kids. I’m patient, reliable, and warm, and I bring a thoughtful, structured approach to childcare. I also have experience as a tutor, so I’m happy to help with homework across subjects like math (algebra, geometry, trig), English, and the Arts. I’m comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, and light cleanup, and I’m also great with pets. I like to keep kids engaged through activities, games, and conversation rather than just screen time. I especially enjoy spending time with children outdoors and fostering curiosity through activities that engage their minds and senses, such as reading, nature walks, creative play, arts and crafts, and other hands-on experiences. Happy to provide references upon request. I can't wait to meet your family!

"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."
