Elizabeth $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm Liz. I am a mother of 2 adult children and currently a grandmother to my 2 year old grand daughter. I am comfortable with newborns through teens, and elder care. I love dogs but am allergic to cats. I'm available for babysitting, errand running, cooking, cleaning, house sitting, pet sitting, or just to keep someone company or do a wellness check. I have a safe car. I love dancing and singing and playing educational games, cards, riding bikes, going to the park, and having fun in general. I am very well versed in assisting elderly clients with mobility, including wheelchair bound clients. I can help organize closets, cleaning, and general housework. I generally don't work weekends but can make exceptions. I am happy, healthy, and very personable. I ran my own business for 30 years but it got wiped out due to covid, so I am trying to work doing something I love, which is taking care of people/pets.
Katie $15 per hour for 1 child
lHi! I’m a reliable and caring college student with a strong background in childcare. I currently work at a daycare, where I care for children of various ages and create a safe, fun, and engaging environment. I am BLS, CPR, and First Aid certified, and I also have experience working in a hospital setting, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and safety-focused. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked as a tutor, helping children stay on track with schoolwork and build confidence. I love creating positive relationships with kids through games, crafts, and activities while also supporting routines like meals and bedtime. I am dependable, patient, and organized, and I would love the opportunity to provide safe and attentive care for your family.

"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."
