I am an early childhood education trained teacher. I am currently a kindergarten teacher but have taught pre k through second grade. I am willing to pick up and drop kids off as needed! I can bring lots of fun games, crafts, and movies for kids to do while in my care.

Hi, I’m Diana! I’m a full-time college student that is home for the summer. I have experience working with elementary-aged kids through tutoring and after-school care, and I’ve also babysat my younger siblings and cousins. I’m am comfortable with diaper changes, meal prep, light laundry, and helping kids with homework and crafts. I always strive to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel supported and parents can feel confident and at ease.

"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."
