I have worked closely with multiple families providing attentive and compassionate care for children of different ages. My responsibilities have included planning age-appropriate activities, preparing meals, managing nap and bedtime routines, school drop-offs and pickups, and maintaining a clean and organized environment. I focus on building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents while supporting children’s learning, independence, and overall well-being.
Hi! My name is Elizabeth! I am 22 years old and have been working as a classroom aide with students on the Autism spectrum for almost 4 years now. I have experience in toileting (changing diapers/pull ups), preparing snacks/lunch, and am willing to drop off/pick up children from school. I am caring, kind, and dedicated to ensuring the best possible care and comfortability for both parent and child.
Hi! I'm a compassionate, dependable babysitter with several years of experience caring for children from newborns to middle schoolers. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and encouraged to be themselves. I'm patient, attentive, and committed to making both children and parents feel at ease. I'd love the opportunity to support your family!
Hi, my name is Ursula and I'm an experienced nanny with 10 years on and off and 3 years with one high-end family. I have toddler experience and care for kids ages 8, 9, and 11.

"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."
