Hi! I’m Sofía, a nanny who loves helping kids grow, learn, and have fun. One of my greatest skills is planning activities, I’m also a teacher and I know what kids love and how to keep them engaged, so parents can rest assured their children will have fun and feel at ease. As part of their daily routines, I sometimes introduce a few Spanish words it’s often hilarious to them, and it sparks their curiosity, helping them pick things up quickly. I’m all about creating a safe, positive environment where kids enjoy themselves and learn. Schedule me now, and let’s make it fun for your little ones!
My name is Sarah. I am 22 years old and currently a senior online at The King's University. I am planning to go get my master's of Arts in Clinical Counseling in the fall. I do have my own car. I have a really big family so I have been babysitting kids for as long as I can remember. When I was 16, I watched my 6-month-old cousin for a weekend by myself. I have tons of cousins between the ages of 0-15 whom I have babysat on many occasions. I have watched multiple kids at the same time on many occasions as well. My mom worked at a daycare for teachers' kids for a few months and I helped out a couple of times there also. I have more recently been working with a nanny company in Raleigh NC. During my time at this job, I was with multiple families. I helped them do laundry, and dishes and (most importantly and fun) played with the kids. I am very sad to leave and have only been due to moving to KC, Missouri. I love kids and I understand the importance of who influences a young life. When I babysit, it is important to me that the child has the attention they need. I had babysitters often when I was younger and I know that sometimes when they didn't play games with me or always engage with me it hurt my feelings. With that in mind, I am willing to help with homework as well as play games and engage with your kids. The days and times you need sound amazing with my schedule and would love the opportunity to work for you! I would really appreciate the opportunity to work with you and would love to meet with you or call to talk more.
Hi! My name is Ella , and I am a freshman at MCC currently studying Early Childhood Education. I offer babysitting, pet sitting, house sitting, and household services. I absolutely love kids!! am CPR, AED, and first aid certified! I have been babysitting kids of all ages since I was 13 years old, and I have worked with kids for about 2-3 years! I have worked daycares, after school programs, teacher’s assistant, and paraprofessional! I have also been pet sitting since I was 13. I absolutely love any and all animals, and am comfortable with anything!
Hi, I'm Lily and would love the opportunity to help you out. I am a part time college student so I have a lot of free time. I find so much joy in helping people and making new connections. I have experience with kids, pets, and household chores. I like to keep busy so anything you need I'd be happy to do. My experience I am the third of 10 cousins and an older sister. I have helped teach summer schools and Bible schools assisting with children pre-k to 6th grade. I can play games, assist with homework and anything else. I can help with pets too. My household has had 3 dogs, 4 cats, a bunny and snake, as well as fish. I can dog walk, scoop litter, feed, play, etc. I can also clean and organize your home. Last summer I helped elderly folks clean and declutter and enjoyed that so much. I can sweep, vaccume, wash dishes, and do laundry. If you have errands you need to run but don't have the energy, I do! I am a detail oriented person who enjoys keeping things orderly and doing things right. I would love to help in any way I can!

"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."
