Booked by 22 families in New Castle, DE

Hi everyone! My name is Arielle! I am 28 years old and I work full time as a flight attendant based out of PHL. Originally from New Jersey, but I’ve lived in Florida a majority of my life working for the theme parks in the Orlando area (both Seaworld and Universal) and spent time as a theme park nanny! I’ve been working with children since age 16 and have cared for a wide range of ages and multiples; although most of my experience has been with newborns and up to age 6, I have plenty of experience with ages 7+ and enjoy caring for them just as much! I have worked for Corporate Kids Events, a company that specializes in childcare for large events, working in the newborn to 2 year old age group. I nannied in 2017 for a few families and was part of a nanny share briefly! Some fun facts about me include I was on my high school swim team for 3 years and I am a middle child of 6 with the age gap between my youngest sibling and I being 17 years! Please reach out with any questions regarding my schedule; I am pretty flexible on weekdays and weekends but advanced notice is best for me. My Urbansitter availability is always up to date so please refer to that if you are interested in booking!

Qualeah $17 per hour for 1 child

Hey, My name is Qualeah. I am a 18 year old college student. I am from the tristate and currently a college student at Rowan University. I am majoring in exercise science in hopes of becoming a nurse. I can wash dishes, clean up, read bed time stories. I am very attentive, responsible, and reliable as a teenager. I have CPR/ first aid training just in case of any emergencies. I’ve babysat kids many times, helped my grandma with daily tasks, and cared for dogs by feeding and walking them. I’m dependable, organized, and easy to get along with, which makes me a great caregiver for kids, seniors, or animals.

Angela $20 per hour for 1 child

I have 3 amazing kids and I’ve been a stay at home Mom for 10 years and now with all of my children in school I would like to find some weekend work. I’m also open to working during the week while they are in school, but my hours would be very limited during the week. Willing to work long hours on the weekends. Thank you

Samantha $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile! As a child I was always the unpaid babysitter for my siblings and cousins. I was able to change diapers before I was even 10 so it comes naturally to take care and look after small kids. I’m very attentive and kind. I enjoy creative and fun activities! I currently take care of a family member as a caregiver for 3 years so that definitely emphasizes to my abilities to care, delegate and support others.

"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."
