Lisa $15 per hour for 1 child
My name is Lisa and I'm approaching my senior year at UMD. I study biochemistry and potentially want to work in the chemistry and/or neuroscience field. When I was in high school, I worked at Color Me Mine and I had to run many children's birthday parties there. I'd like more experience in babysitting and working with kids because it would open my perspective about working with different age groups related to my future career. I've had cats and dogs throughout my life so I'm comfortable with pets. I've gotten into baking and I know how to make basic meals. I also have a basic life support (BLS) certification and planning to get my advanced life support (ALS) certification soon. If you need someone to step in during a night out or to help out during a busy schedule, let me know!

"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."
