Hi! My name is Nashia I’m 21 years old. I personally watch my younger cousins who are under 2 and 5 years old who both have austism. I currently work for a school with TK and kindergartners! I definitely enjoy it. We do homework,activities, and playing outside of course. I’m good at Cleaning, and Somewhat of Cooking.
Hi! I'm Polly. I work in the film industry and also teach yoga in the early mornings. I own a small business where I lead children's yoga, Mommy & Me classes, and arts and crafts experiences designed to encourage creativity, confidence, and mindfulness. I'm a creative person who loves working with children and creating fun, engaging, and safe environments where they can learn and grow. For the past three and a half years, I've worked as a part-time nanny with multiple families from different backgrounds and have built strong, long-term relationships with them. I have excellent references available upon request. I'm comfortable with pets, have a clean driving record, and am a confident driver. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to connect with families from diverse backgrounds. I'd love the opportunity to support your family :)
“Polly is a wonderful caregiver! She has cared for my 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter many times and they absolutely adore her. Polly is able to adapt to their different interests and personalities perfectly. I highly recommend Polly, she’s a gem!”
I have a lot of valuable experience, both with raising 3 children, teaching preschool, babysitting, and helping my 104 year old grandma with technology!
“Michelle (or Mimi as my toddler calls her) is the best. She’s been watching my very active son once a week for over a year, and I cannot emphasize how helpful she is. She’s patient, she focuses all of her attention on him and she makes playing fun. My son is absolutely exhausted after Michelle’s visits. He wakes up some mornings asking to “play date with Mimi” or will sing songs that she has taught him. Now that I have an infant too, she watches both boys with ease. Caretaking is her speciality. She’s very gentle and kind. Michelle is punctual, respectful and dependable. Whenever she comes over, I know I don’t have to worry about anything, she’s got in under control. I can go to work or run errands without hesitation.”
Hello, I'm Crystal I’m a mother of two teenagers and have always loved working with children. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a paraprofessional in a school, supporting children from kindergarten through third grade. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and understanding each child’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, caring, and positive environment for them. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, visiting museums, and watching movies. As a babysitter, my goal is not only to care for your children but also to help parents feel confident, comfortable, and reassured while they’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children, and I would treat your family with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
My name is Azalia and I am currently in my last semester of school. I am offering babysitting and dog-sitting services. I believe that I am great with kids and I enjoy creating a fun space for them. I have experience caring for toddlers between the ages of 3 and 6 years old and limited experience with caring for infants. I eventually want to become a child therapist after graduating from college, so having more experience with children would be amazing for me. I like to create fun activities for kids like creating art, playing games, just activities that would keep them busy! I have a BLS certification as well. I am very patient with kids, so I think my personality is perfect for babysitting!

"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."
