Hi, I'm Angela, a nurse student at UC, I am offering child care and senior care, i have nurse practitioner license . I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns. Infants, toddlers and kids including twins. Since I was 16 years old, I’m 20 right now, I drive and I have my own transportation. I can drive to/from school , crafts, tutoring, and even language lesson. I have been a caretaker for my two grandparents, one of the reasons to become CNA, and I’m comfortable with senior care . I can cook and drive to appointments and others stuff.
“Angel was great with my daughter. Very attentive and reliable. I will definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”

Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a senior at UC. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am a PCA at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in the step-down for the cardiac intensive care unit. I am BLS/CPR certified. I have three years of experience at my job, especially with infants and toddlers. I have nine years of babysitting experience prior to my job- but am often involved in one-on-one patient care and responsible for “babysitting” an infant or toddler who needs extra medical attention or comfort for the duration of my shift. I have two dogs and a cat- and have cared for a plethora of other pets before! I can drive, run errands, clean, and cook/bake. I have payment rates for varying scenarios on my profile but am flexible surrounding my pay.

"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."
