Hi! My name is Maddie! I am a senior at Tulane University, where I am studying psychology (specifically child psychology) as well as political science. I have lived in Boston my whole life, but my mom is from NOLA so I have spent a lot of time here growing up, and I loved it so much I had to come to school here! I have been officially working with kids since the summer of 2022 where I worked as a counselor at a sleep away camp for seven weeks. I have worked at that camp every summer since, and have acquired many different skills that allow me to work well with children. I have also been babysitting for neighbors and family friends since I was around 13. Since then, I have gotten my lifeguard certification which makes me CPR, AED, and first aid certified for infants, children, and adults. I am extremely patient, especially when it comes to kids with special needs or preferences. On top of this, I have been raised with pets (dogs and cats) my whole life and am very happy to take care of them too! I have my drivers license and a car with me at school, so I would be able to do pick ups and drop offs if needed.
Hello, my name is Megan. As a caregiver I am fun, attentive, and patient. I treat children with kindness and the utmost respect. I love the outdoors, music, and literature. I am energetic and enjoy playing games and going on outdoor treks and adventures. I love to play guitar, piano, and sing. I know a lot of kids songs, including a few originals. I have a great deal of experience of caring for children, ages 6 months - 11 years old. I have earned 30+ units of early childhood education credits and am CPR and First aid certified. I get an extreme sense of joy spending time with children and seeing them grow into their own unique person. Positive reinforcement and providing opportunities to succeed are, I believe, the key to witness a child thrive. If you give me your email address I can send you my resume. Thank you for your time I look forward to connecting with you.
Hi! My name is Alexey and I am a 25 year old artist living in New Orleans. Caring for children has always been an interest of mine. I taught swim lessons to children back in my home town and I have also volunteered once a year at orphanages in underprivileged countries for the past 5 years. Pets also have a special place in my heart because I come from a family of farmers and grew up on a ranch. I have 2 kitties of my own now! In my grandparents final years I took them to appointments, took care of their home, and loved spending time with them and hearing their stories. I have a lot of free time so if you are in need of a care giver of any kind, at any time- I’m your girl! :)
I am the eldest daughter in a large family including 5 children, Mom, Grandparents and Great Grandparents! I began baby sitting outside the house as a teenager and continued to work as a Nanny or Au pair through my twenties. In my 30's I began co parenting with my siblings and watching everyone's kids. I am a trained art teacher and have taught art to up to 30 children at a time all through my life. More recently I work as an art teacher for Art Klub and Camp 504. I am a playful, creative, compassionate care taker of all creatures young, old and furry.
I am an experienced pet sitter and house sitter living in the Seventh Ward of New Orleans. I primarily take care of dogs and cats, but I have also cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, and one very large Vietnamese pot belly pig. I am available for walks if nearby, but I primarily do overnights and stay with the animals in their own home while their people are away for work or vacation. I also take care of looking after the household while you are out of town.
“Katie is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! She recently cared for our two Pomeranians, Loki and Watson, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, healthy, and loved while we were away. From the moment we met Katie, her warmth and genuine love for animals were immediately clear. She took the time to understand their routines, quirks, and personalities, which put us completely at ease. Loki and Watson can be a bit high-maintenance, but Katie handled them like a pro. She sent us regular updates with photos and videos, and it was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed they were in her care. It’s clear she treated them like her own pets. When we returned, they were calm, content, and even better behaved—Katie’s care and attention made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as much as you do, Katie is the one. Her reliability, kindness, and professionalism deserve more than five stars! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

"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
