Then I decided after finding out my daughter was ADHD I wanted to do childcare so I became a 1:1 for kiddos with developmental disabilities and then after taking care of my grandparents when they where sick I wanted to be a caregivers so I worked for ihss for 7 years and especially after I had my son and found out he’s autistic among other health issues just made me want to help kiddos like my kids and more and elderly even young adults or adults just people period I love to help people. And I also worked as a ABA behavior interventionist and I also worked for 23 years as a protective security guard. So yea lots of experience.
Hi! My personal background is a paralegal but before I became a paralegal I was a TK - 5th grade afterschool teacher for 3 years. If you have pets, I can assist too, I have a dog and a serval cats!
Hi! I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background in childcare, newborn support, and family care. I spent 3 years working as a preschool teacher, where I developed a love for creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. In addition to teaching, I have over 5 years of nanny experience working closely with multiple families and supporting children through different stages of development. I am also a trained birth and postpartum doula as well as a newborn care specialist, which has allowed me to support families during some of the most important and vulnerable moments of their lives. My approach is calm, patient, attentive, and family-centered, with a focus on providing both emotional and practical support. Beyond childcare, I previously worked as a certified nurse’s assistant in senior living and rehabilitation centers, where I gained valuable hands-on caregiving experience and strengthened my ability to provide compassionate care to individuals of all ages. Outside of work, I’m a fur mom to two cats and recently said goodbye to my sweet senior dog who passed from old age.
I am a trained Early Childhood Educator from Switzerland with a professional diploma in childcare and early childhood development. I am fluent in both French and can speak English but still work on it. I have strong experience caring for children of different ages, supporting their emotional, social, and developmental needs in a safe and nurturing environment. I am used to working with routines, preparing meals, organizing activities, and creating a calm and structured space where children feel secure and happy. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously. Families can trust me to provide high-quality care, respect their home, and give their children the attention and care they deserve.
I’ve been caring for children, homes, and families for over 15 years. I started babysitting at age 15 and have continued working with kids of all ages ever since. Now at 30, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, experience, and maturity to every family I work with. I graduated from Brown University, where I was a Division I lacrosse player and captain of the team my senior year. That experience shaped my leadership, discipline, and ability to stay calm and organized in fast-paced environments—qualities I bring into caregiving every day. Professionally, I’m a business owner, which speaks to my reliability, time management, and strong communication skills. Families trust me not only with their children, but also with their homes. I’ve frequently been hired to house sit while families travel, managing everything from daily upkeep to pet care and ensuring everything runs smoothly while they’re away. I have extensive experience tutoring middle and high school students, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework, keeping kids engaged, and supporting their academic growth. I also regularly care for my nephew, which has deepened my ability to connect with children in a patient, attentive, and genuinely caring way. Overall, I’m known for being dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I bring a positive, grounded energy and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for both kids and families.
“Rosie was an excellent babysitter, I knew my baby was safe and so happy under her care and my dog absolutely loved her!”

"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."
