Hi, my names Ruby, I used to babysit a lot in high school before I moved and thought it was so fun! I mostly worked with two kids aged 2 and 4, and babysat them for almost a year. I’m a first year college student so babysitting is a great way for me to make money while still having time to focus on school work. I’m also an artist although I’m still working towards making a living off that. But if your kids enjoy to draw I’ll probably end up teaching them a thing or two too!
I am a dependable and nurturing babysitter with experience caring for children from 5 weeks old to teenagers, including those with special needs. I create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with routines, and supporting each child’s individual needs. I am patient, attentive, and take pride in being someone both kids and parents can trust. I also value clear communication and reliability, ensuring parents feel confident while their children are in my care.
I have a good experience with child care I have been a babysitter for 2 years. and above all because I love working with children, it is something that I am passionate about. I have been with needy children as a volunteer and I have done everything with love. I think that love and commitment to children is a reason that makes me a good babysitter . I would also like to mention a little about my responsibilities I have taken care of children from 1 years old to 12 years old. It is also important to mention that I am a responsible girl and that I know how to manage my emotions. Most people say that I am very loving and that everything I do is with love. I want you to know that I am a good babysitter because your children will always be well taken care of by me and I really know the value of family , I would like them to learn a lot from you. I am available every weekend at any time if you contact me beforehand and during the week from 11-2
“Alison is an exceptional caregiver. She demonstrates excellent responsiveness when planning and punctuality. She proactively asked me about my son‘s interest. With this information, she engaged my son and his favorite activities rather than Screen Time. Alison is highly intelligent and takes pride and her work. It is clear that she loves kids. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time with her and I highly recommend her to anyone.”
Hello! My name is Si’edah. I came across your profile and wanted to introduce myself because I believe my background and experience align well with what you’re looking for. I am a Registered Nurse with a strong foundation in compassionate, person-centered care. Prior to nursing, I worked closely with adults with disabilities and individuals on the autism spectrum, supporting them through daily living activities, arts and crafts, creative projects, and engaging routines. I truly enjoy cooking and can follow new recipes with ease. I also love incorporating movement, gentle exercise, and meaningful activities into the day to keep things positive and engaging. I am nurturing, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and encouraging environment for the people I work with. I have reliable transportation, I do not smoke, and I approach every role with professionalism and kindness. I would love the opportunity to connect and see if I may be a good fit for your needs.

"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."
