Hi! My name is Emily and I am back on Urban Sitter after a hiatus due to a heavy travel schedule and working corporate. Im excited to connect with new families! I am best for occasional bookings like date night, random school nights etc. I require a four hour minimum (unless I have applied to a listing that displays otherwise). I have connected with several families through Urban Sitter over the years (see my reviews!) and am looking forward to being considered for your next booking.

Hello everyone reading this! About me: I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and absolutely love children! Whether it was for the neighbors next door, at the church nursery or for some of my high school teachers, I grew up watching kids! Although I'm more familiar with children from infancy to 6 years of age, I don't shy away from kids who are older. I am a very upbeat and outgoing person so I'm always getting down on the floor and playing with children and helping them expand their imagination! If you have any questions or want to know anything else about my experience, please don't hesitate to ask! :)

“Kaci was wonderful! She arrived on time and was personable and professional. My kid had a hard time when we left but she stayed calm and sent a picture of him happily playing after we left. It’s intimidating hiring someone you’ve never met before to watch your beloved child. I’m happy to endorse Kaci for any caregiving responsibility and I look forward to working with her again! Thank yoj for everything, Kaci.”

Booked by 56 families in West Hollywood, CA

Hi, my name is Tatia. I am very energetic, organized, dependable, and genuinely caring. I love spending time with children, creating fun activities, and helping them learn and grow at the same time. Over the years, I have worked with children of many different ages in both daycare and educational settings. I previously worked at the daycare center at RefugeeOne, where I cared for groups of children ages 1–11. I also volunteered as a tutor for middle school students, helping with English, math, and science homework. In addition, I spent two months doing service work at a daycare center in San Jose, Costa Rica, and worked for about three years in the after-school program at Lycee Francais de Chicago (French school) with children ages 3–5. Professionally, I have spent the last several years building my career in property management and operations leadership. I am currently in between career transitions and taking time to thoughtfully decide on my next long-term professional move. During this period, I would love to return to working with children through occasional and part-time babysitting, as it has always been something I genuinely enjoy and find fulfilling. I am CPR/First Aid certified and pride myself on being patient, attentive, responsible, and engaging with children. My philosophy is to keep kids active, entertained, safe, and supported so they feel comfortable and have fun while parents feel at ease. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I am available for occasional, part-time, evening, and weekend babysitting opportunities. Please feel free to contact me if you would like references or recommendations from previous families I have worked with — I would be happy to provide them. Please note: 2-hour minimum.
