Hi everyone! I have been working with kids of all ages for about 10 years now but my main focus is early childhood. I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education and have been a teacher in a classroom for about 4 years. I love working with children it's truly is one of my passions and I would love to take that passion outside of the classroom, have a bit more freedom and flexibility with the children I work with. Living in Florida im a big outdoors girl I love being able to take walks and enjoy the fresh air/water. I have a cat and a dog so I am familiar with those care services as well.
“Pamela was great! She was able to tame the little one from the first minute!”

I love being a babysitter for all ages because I’m patient, responsible, and know how to connect with kids at every stage. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged with creative play or helping older kids with homework and routines, I adapt easily and always prioritize safety, fun, and positive guidance.
“Whitney took our job within hours and she was amazing! Prepared, friendly and outgoing, warm and connecting. The kids said after a few minutes of meeting her “I like her already”! She was on time and so helpful. I highly recommend. ”

"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."
