For the past three years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I've worked in group homes, shelters and family homes. I’ve worked with children who have medical diagnosis and developmental delays. I am patient, calm, and structured. I'm happy to prepare meals, do housekeeping or run errands. I am very active and enjoy outdoor activities! I am certified in First Aid and CPR. I spent two years as an emergency medical technician and am very comfortable with tending to wounds, injuries or springing into action when needed. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I am bilingual (Spanish/English).
Over 20 years of pet care and pet owner. Currently no personal pets, sharing my love with other people's fur-babies. I'm a part time pharmacist and also take care of my aging grandmother.
“Kris is my go-to sitter for my dog, Bruno. She is always in tune with Bruno's needs and is really passionate about what she does. I have used Kris's services outside of Urban Sitter, so I am ecstatic that she has joined!”
I am a reliable, caring and responsible substitute teacher and mother with over 15 years of experience working with and supporting school-age children. I am comfortable helping with homework, daily routines, supervision, transportation and creating a safe and positive environment. I have experience working with children of different ages, personalities and needs. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience caring for animals. I have owned and cared for multiple dogs and have experience running a dog-walking business. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments, as well as cats and other pets. I also have a background in music, including piano and violin and speak multiple languages. I enjoy encouraging creativity, learning, confidence, and curiosity in children. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, organized, and easy to communicate with. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule.
Greetings and a very warm welcome to every parent and caretaker! My name is Honoree. I have my degree in early childhood education. I have over 12 years of fostering and creating nurturing atmospheres from beautiful newborns to mighty teenagers. My experience derives from "A" school grade settings, daycares such as kinder-care, and being a childcare specialist. My passion of cultivating strong relationships with the children and their families stem from my innate love for children. Hence, it is my mission to make sure that EVERY SINGLE child feels seen, loved, respected, and treated with patience, and kindness! These attributes are achieved by my loving, nurturing, upbeat, and friendly approach. As your childcare specialist, I will gladly provide regular updates through your preferred communication style. Each child is sure to have a fantastic time with activities tailored to your families needs. Thank you I look forward to being your personal childcare specialist!

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"
Natalie O., mom of five

"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
