Sarah Rutland
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am new to UrbanSitter, but I am a mental health therapist (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) who has worked for 7 years with children and teenagers with a spectrum of emotional needs. Prior to that I had 10+ years of extensive experience babysitting and nannying for all ages, ranging from newborns to teenagers, including children with autism. I am available for on-call babysitting positions on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am a great option if you would like a reliable weekend sitter you can reach out to when you need someone to care for your children during the day or so you can have a night out. I am comfortable working with any age child/baby, and any type of family. I grew up local to the area, have safe and reliable transportation, and will enjoy engaging your children in enriching activities (whether that’s at home or going out) and maintaining their routine. Please reach out if you feel I might be a good fit, I would love to speak with you more about my experience and your family’s needs!

Hello! I’m Jordan and I have been working in childcare since 2015. I went to a tech high school and got my preschool certification there and then went on to a community college and got certified with working with infants and toddlers. Working with children is my passion and it fills my heart with so much joy! I’m patient, loving, a big kid at heart, and give my all with everything that I do. I am mainly looking for night care and occasional date nights. I look forward to meeting you!
