Hello! My name is Angela, and I am a career nanny and former preschool teacher with over 30 years of experience caring for children from newborns to age 15 (including twins). I hold an A.A. in Early Childhood Education and deeply love helping children learn, grow, and reach their developmental milestones. For the past two years, I have worked full-time with a wonderful family, caring for their child since they were 3 months old. As they transition to part-time preschool, I am currently available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. While I am open to discussing various arrangements, my ultimate goal is to find a long-term, full-time position. Credentials & Qualifications: Education: A.A. in Early Childhood Education Experience: 16+ years as a professional nanny + former preschool teacher Certifications: CPR/AED/First Aid certified (Infant, Child, and Adult) Health & Safety: Fully vaccinated (Covid-19, Flu, Tdap) | Non-smoker & non-drinker Transportation: Reliable personal vehicle, fully insured, and a clean driving record Flexibility: Available for split shifts, nanny shares, evenings, weekends, and overnights Excellent references are available upon request. I look forward to connecting with your family!
Hi! I'm Ashley and I’m a middle school science teacher. I am currently very busy at the moment and not looking for childcare jobs (UrbanSitter just doesn’t let me chose that as an option). Thank you!
“Ashley was awesome, kids loved her! ”
Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m currently working as a veterinary assistant for a veterinary cardiologist. I’ve been caring for kids since I was about 12 years old—starting with my younger sister, then helping out family and friends. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with children of all ages, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Outside of my passion for caring for animals. Most recently, I worked as a nanny and house manager for a wonderful family over the course of three years. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, and I take pride in being reliable and proactive in helping households run smoothly. Looking forward to connecting with you! Cancellation Policy: Full payment is required for cancellations made within 5 hours of the scheduled time. Thanks for understanding!
“Great sitter, would definitely use again!”
Hello! My name is Stephanie, and I have 9 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve worked with multiple private families and successfully managed a nanny share, starting with babies at just 2–3 months old and staying with them until toddlerhood. I also run my own residential cleaning business, giving me flexibility to take on babysitting opportunities. I’m passionate about nurturing children, creating a safe and fun environment, and supporting their growth with patience and care. • CPR & First Aid Certified • Excellent references available upon request 😊
Hello! My name is Kelly, and I have experience with kids and pets! :) Please message me for additional availability as I work full time (11 AM - 8 PM) with semi flexible hours and am a fur mom. I can try to accommodate if noticed in advance. ***Note: I am only looking for occasional jobs*** PET CARE: I currently have 2 puppies and a cat at home (11 month old maltipoo, 11 month old domestic shorthair, and 6 month old mini aussie). All three are extremely sociable and friendly towards other animals. We currently live in an apartment, but do our best to make up for the lack of a backyard by taking them to the dog park, on drives, play dates, and giving them enrichment toys! CHILDCARE: I have mostly worked with ages 4-12 prior to COVID-19. However, I have worked with younger ages and am comfortable with them. In all 4 years of my high school career, I taught children from 2nd grade to 11th grade, so I am also able to help with any homework necessary! With that being said, I have experience in breaking the ice with children slowly to gain their trust, as well as yours as a parent. As a person, I am extremely cautious and aware of my surroundings, so I will always assure that your child(ren)’s safety comes first. I look forward to meeting you and your family and to also help you in anyway that I can!

"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."
