Hi there! My name is Maddie and I am a student at Tulane. I have been babysitting children from ages 3+ over the past 6 years and am open to sitting for all ages. I am very responsible and make sure to follow parents’ orders very closely while ensuring the kids are having the best time possible. Some of my applicable strengths are cooking/baking, doing craft projects, and helping with homework/tutoring. Additionally, I have grown up with many pets my entire life and love animals. I am willing to sit any type of pet!

Hi, I’m an online college student and a dependable, caring babysitter with experience caring for kids of all ages. I’ve also interned at a summer camp. I love keeping children engaged with dancing, crafts, reading, and playtime, while also making sure routines like meals, naps, and homework get done. Families can count on me to be responsible, patient, and fun I truly care for every child.
Hi! My name is Asia, I'm 19 years old, and I'm a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter. While I don't have professional paid babysitting experience yet, I have experience caring for children through family and friends and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I'm currently an online student, which gives me some flexibility with my schedule. I also work in retail part time primarily on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and weekends. Because of my schedule, I'm mainly available during weekday daytime hours, with some additional availability depending on the week. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to help with activities, games, crafts, homework, simple meals, and keeping children safe and entertained. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust, and I'll always do my best to provide reliable and thoughtful care. I'm happy to answer any questions and provide more information about myself!

"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."
