Hi Parents, I'm a recent James Madison University graduate and moved to the Mount Pleasant area a few months ago. I currently work from home and am looking to take on some more part-time babysitting work. I'm available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 5 PM, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I babysit two kids who attend Rosemont and Bancroft, so I'm already familiar with the area's local schools and daycare centers! I have previous babysitting experience, a valid driver's license, and a clean driving record. I'm open to both one-time and recurring opportunities. Feel free to message me if you're looking for some extra help — I'd love to connect!
“We had a great experience with her as our babysitter. She was reliable, always on time, and helped with school pick-ups and drop-offs, which made our routine much easier. She also assisted with meal prep and kept our daughter on a consistent bedtime routine. Our daughter was always happy and comfortable with her. She was easy to communicate with and very dependable. We’d definitely recommend her to any family looking for someone caring and responsible.”
Hi - My name is Mariel. I have more than 4 years of experience taking care of little ones. I am offering child care and house services; organizing your closet or helping you clean your house. I enjoy being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 8 years old because I used to take care of my young sister in Peru while my mother went to work. Obviously, I had the help of my older sister. I started working more seriously as a caregiver when I was 18, taking care of a newborn for two months, then I came to the USA as an au-pair, and took care of a toddler and a 4-year-old for two years. After that, I took care of a baby for a year and a half until he went to daycare. And my last job was with a baby; my contract was for 5 months, and it was a great time with them. I have great references from all my previous jobs. I am happy to work with families with dogs, but I will not take care of the dog unless I see a great need for the pup, and I will try my best to help if the dog is in need and you are not home. I will prefer a schedule from 9 AM to 4 PM, and weekends are off-limits since I have other commitments, and I prioritize time with my family.

"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."
