I am a very extraverted, fun, loving, caring, welcoming, outgoing, and faith filled mother of 5 children. I have 29 years of experience in taking care of kids. I currently am taking care of a 5 year old boy and have been taking care of him since he was 2. I spend time playing with him, singing with him, making crafts with him, and make sure the time he spends with me is a fun one! I personally potty trained him, and my current responsibilities are to feed, clothe, and bathe him. I have taken him with me to do outdoor activities and can keep a very watchful eye on kids. Before taking care of him I watched two other young boys from a married couple. I kept them very preoccupied with various activities. I was responsible for feeding them breakfast and lunch, as well as making sure to clothe them and making sure they went to the bathroom. Before I left the house I kept it very clean. I have a wide variety of cooking skills which makes it easier on parents to have their kids eat what they would like them to eat. If you're looking for someone to clean your home I am a very thorough cleaner. I am open to watching any small pets since I use to own a Cocker Spaniel Poodle and a cat. I am open to watching anyone that is elderly and perform basic tasks. I am willing to open up my home for watching anyone as well as travel to your home. Whatever is most convenient. If your looking for a mother's touch, that is definitely me.
Hi! I'm Savannah and I'm currently a rising senior at Northwestern studying psychology. I'm looking to help with child care or pet care if needed. I have great experience volunteering in programs with elementary-aged children in programs where we watch kids while they play/engage with physical activity in addition to assisting with homework. I was also a math tutor for a bit where I worked with kids ranging from ages 5-12. In addition to this, I also grew up volunteering in my church with toddlers aged 1-4 years with my dad for a few years and acted as a mother's helper at times. I love kids and animals very much and am an outgoing person who enjoys getting to have fun while also maintaining structure! I have experience with arts and crafts, dancing, and going outside when it's nice out. For pets, I have my own dog that I take care of in addition to helping people care for their cats when needed. I am also very happy to help out around the house with cooking and cleaning to reduce stress for parents as much as possible!
Hi! My name is Cassidy and I am currently a registered nurse looking to pick up a few sitter shifts on my off days! I have a master’s degree in nursing and currently work as a nurse in the Mother/Baby unit, so infant care is my specialty. Other than that, I have 10+ years of experience with older kiddos as well. I look forward to getting to know more about you! :)

"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
