Hello My Name is Alexis, at a very young age I wanted to be a teacher. I got my CDA *Child Development Associate* in High School and ever since then I continued in Early Childhood Education and got my degree in it. I've worked in different schools and with my experience I've worked with all age groups. My specialty is in infants, toddlers, preschool. Just renewed my First Aid & CPR. I look forward to hearing about your family and how I can provide my experience!
I am a caring, reliable, and patient caregiver with experience supporting children, seniors, and households. I value safety, kindness, and clear communication, and I take pride in helping families feel supported and at ease.
Hi there I am Andie! I am a junior at the University of Central Florida and have babysat here and there throughout the years. I am outgoing and can take care of children while adhering to their needs. I have taken care of children ages 2 and up and am able to cook, drive, and possibly help them with their homework. I also can dance and tumble and enjoy all things active. I love pets and can help with feeding, cleaning up after, and walking dogs/cats.
Hi I’m Elise! I’ve been babysitting for 10+ years and I have a medical background. I have experience with kids of all ages, senior care, pet care, and household tasks. I’m reliable and fun!
My name is Gabriella, and I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in legal studies. I am currently applying to start a Master’s Degree program in Clinical Social Work. Working with children has always been a passion of mine, and I feel privileged to support parents and guardians by helping make their days a little easier while ensuring their children are happy and safe. I enjoy collaborating with families to create daily routines and activities that spark creativity, laughter, and joyful learning. Whether providing long-term care or occasional visits, I strive to provide the highest level of care for every child. My experience includes in-home care for children ages 16 months to 12 years, working in a residential behavioral health facility with teens, afterschool programs, and summer camps with groups of 15–30 children. I’ve also volunteered with the Orange County Bar Association, supporting children in foster care with sourcing school supplies, mental health resources, and extracurricular opportunities. The best part of my work is seeing children laugh, learn, and grow. I look forward to bringing that joy to your family and building meaningful connections with your children.

"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
