Hi, I'm a 21 year old college student studying anthropology at Bryn Mawr college. I am a competitive figure skater and have babysitting experience from high school as well as five years of coaching experience with kids aged 5-11. As well I love animals and have one dog and one cat. Marcy my dog age 12 and my cat Peter age 13. I have 3 years experience with pet care and love all animals.
“Laura is incredible! Laura is always on time and extremely flexible. She took great care of my two sons. She is kind and caring, while also helping to help my oldest (Timmy) with school! I would book her again anytime. Can’t’ wait for another night out with my husband!”
Sita $19 per hour for 1 child
Hey! My name is Sita, I am a current sophomore at George Washington University majoring in Human Services and Social Justice. I am offering babysitting services, senior care, and household assistance. I love children, I have been tutoring and watching toddlers and school aged children since I was 13. I loved crafting with them, reading to them, and can handle stressful situations with calmness and empathy. (If you have a teenager that needs help with college applications, I would love to help). I am CPR certified and extremely attentive to the needs of children because of my studies at school. I volunteer 120 hours per semester with children and seniors and am accustomed to such environments. I am super flexible and can work with you to fit the needs of your family! :)

"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."
