Hello, my name is Deborah and I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, where I obtained my degree in Biomedical Engineering. I currently work as a Biotech Engineer, and will begin my Master's degree in Fall 2026. I have received my Basic First Aid Training and completed the Red Cross CPR certification course. I love showing my love to others through cooking meals and love to read in my free time. In caring for your child, I love to engage them through reading, educational games, puzzles and a lot of time outside. In past roles I've been responsible for meal prep, light housekeeping, school pickup/drop off and overnight care.
Hi there! By day, I work in tech, but I’ve never stopped missing spending time with kids. In college, I babysat, tutored, and coached a girls’ soccer team, and I also spent a summer as a camp counselor. I’m still in touch with some of those families today, which means so much to me. I love getting to know each kid’s personality, cheering them on, and being a good mentor — and a little bit of an older sister, too. I’m happy to help with homework, explore the city, do crafts, play games, or wind down with a calm bedtime routine. I’d love to get to know your family and hopefully become someone your kids look forward to spending time with!
Hi! I am currently providing child care, senior care, and household services. I enjoy working with children - being a parent, I hope this reassures you that I will look after your child or children with the same care I would want for my baby girl: with love, patience, compassion, respect, experience, and more. I can also support/assist with personal/virtual administrative assistance. I am a full-time Operations Manager! Have a question or proposal? Ask away.
I am an Early Childhood Education student and a toddler teacher with hands on classroom experience working with young children. I am patient, responsible, and caring, and I love helping children learn through play, creativity, and routine. I have experience supporting children’s social and emotional development, preparing simple activities, and creating a safe and positive environment. Families can trust that I will treat their children with kindness, attention, and respect while keeping them engaged and safe.
“Neo was smashing! Highly recommend. My kids loved her. ”

"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
