Vy $16 per hour for 1 child
I have over 4 years of experience as a caregiver, supporting children, seniors, and pets. I’m compassionate, patient, and dependable, with a strong focus on creating a safe and positive environment for everyone I care for. Over the years, I’ve provided childcare that includes homework help, meal preparation, and planning fun, educational activities. I’ve also assisted seniors with daily tasks such as cooking, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and companionship. In addition, I have hands-on experience with pet care—feeding, walking, and maintaining routines. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, very organized, and known for my reliability and excellent communication. I truly enjoy helping others and making a difference in their daily lives. I can provide references upon request.
Lilliana $17 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! My name is Lilly and I am thrilled to be considered for the role of making your family's life just a little bit easier. Before I was anything I was an older sister, my experience with childcare began with two significantly younger sisters I still play a large role in raising. In addition to my personal experience, I have worked in volunteer roles as a tutor and summer camp academic instructor in a local children's home and with Hillsborough County Public Schools (if you need a homework helper, I'm your girl!!). In addition to the basics like CPR, I would say I'm formally certified in the arts of snack distribution, copycat Broadway performances of the songs from whatever show or movie your kids can't get enough of right now, arts and crafts and schedule adherence. I also am more than willing to tidy up while I'm over! (I'm great at cleaning too... not to brag or anything...) In terms of pets, I'm a lifelong animal lover! Cats, dogs, exotics, I love animals big and small! I have experience with dogs, guinea pigs and other rodents, fish and hermit crabs specifically (as my own pets over the years). However, I have cared for many cats before and if I'm given a care instructions list, I'm confident I can make friends with any critter.

"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."
