Hello families! My name is Leila, I'm from Argentina, I'm 29 years old and I'm a kindergarten teacher! I have seven years of experience taking care of kids (five years in Argentina and two years in the United States) mostly infants and toddlers. I consider myself a responsible, patient, respectful and tidy person. Also I have some references from a couple of families and from my church's leader (I was a volunteer every Sunday at my church, I was in babies room, taking care of them while their parents attend the service) As for my childcare skills, it's very important to me that the child feels safe and secure in an organized environment. I also believe in providing a daily routine, as this is crucial for young children. I hope to hear from you soon☺️
Hello! I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with over 20 years of experience babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting for families in communities where I have lived. I genuinely love this work — it's been a constant in my life for two decades because I care about doing it well. I hold a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health, so I bring real knowledge of child development, health and safety along with my hands-on experience. I also have worked as a teacher, mentor, tutor, and coach — helping kids grow, learn, and build confidence is one of my favorite parts of this work. That same attentiveness and care carries over beautifully to elder companion care — I enjoy providing patient, attentive companionship and support. I am recently CPR certified for both children and adults through the American Red Cross, so you can feel at ease knowing I'm prepared for the unexpected. Whether it's watching and mentoring your kids, keeping your home safe while you're away, caring for your pets, or even your plants (thanks to some recent greenhouse experience!), I treat every responsibility like it's my own. I'd love to help your family feel supported and cared for.
“Sara is wonderful!!! We hired her to watch our almost 2-year-old daughter for the week her daycare was closed and have since had her return several times. She is incredibly reliable, flexible, warm, proactive, fully attentive, and engaged. Our daughter loves her!! We are so grateful to have met Sara and can’t wait to have her back. ”
Hi! My name is Luz, I’m 25 years old, and I’m currently an au pair in Maryland. I really enjoy spending time with kids, keeping them engaged, and creating fun activities together. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs to help me save for a trip that’s very important and meaningful to me. I’m excited to hear more about your family and how I can help!😊💖
Hi! I just graduated nursing school from the University of South Caroline in December of 2022. I am living at home for a few months before I move down to Charleston, SC this spring to start a job on a cardiac floor at MUSC. I have worked with children of all ages and capabilities since I was in middle school. I have always loved caring for children, so I hope to one day work in a NICU or pediatric unit! I am fully vaccinated & boosted, and am happy to show proof. I have my own car and would be happy to drive your children to any activities!

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
