Erica $15 per hour for 1 child
I've worked with small children since age 14, as a nursery assistant. I was VP of the PTO board of an elementary school for 3.5 years, and also school mom during my time there. I most recently spent 3 years as a personal caretaker of an elderly blind man. I've always been great with those young in age and those up in age. I have an old soul but I'm a child at heart.
Chloe $16 per hour for 1 child
Hi - My name is Chloe, I am currently a stay at home mom to a 5 month old. I am offering pet care, senior care, child care, and household services. I am willing to run errands, help with appointments, cleaning, and other tasks if and when needed. I have been a babysitter previously for infants up to middle school ages since I was 14 years old. My jobs were to cook, clean, pickup from school or daycares, homework help and more. I have also worked at an animal shelter where I was helping clean, feed, walk and interact with dogs, cats and fish. I have some experience in senior care with duties such as helping around the house with cleaning, keeping company, and running errands.

"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."
