While this would be my first time baby sitting officially, I have a strong background in working with children through my experience as a student athlete over the past four years, where I engaged with kids in various settings such as camps and after games. My time in these roles has honed my patience and understanding, qualities that are important for caregiving. Additionally, growing up with my mother, a neonatologist in the NICU, has given me invaluable insights into infant care and a deep appreciation for working with babies. I have often gone with my mother to her work, which has made me even more passionate about caring for young children and has given me hands-on experience. These experiences make me well-qualified to be a reliable and caring babysitter.
Hey there! I’m Jennifer — part-time nursing student, full-time fun-bringer, and your go-to babysitter with 5+ years of experience wrangling giggles, snacks, and sibling squabbles like a pro. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, but I especially love hanging out with those 6 and up! Babysitting isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely love. Helping kids learn, grow, and have fun is what got me started and what keeps me going. I’m calm, patient, creative, and known for being the “cool babysitter” (okay, maybe I said that—but still!). I’m happy looking after up to three kiddos at once, and I love activities that keep us all moving and thinking—like outdoor games, puzzles, board games, and crafts. I always stick to the rules you set, and I’ll keep you in the loop with updates however you prefer. Bottom line: I want to be someone you can trust and your kids are excited to see walk through the door. Let’s make babysitting awesome together!
I am a substitute teacher with 20-year experience, working with children, ages ranging from infant to high school. I enjoy arts and crafts, and cooking.
I am an experienced early childhood educator with 5 years of teaching experience in early preschool and preschool classrooms. I specialize in supporting children ages 2 to 5 through engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that build strong foundational skills in literacy, handwriting, and phonological awareness. I use trusted, research-based programs such as Handwriting Without Tears and Heggerty Phonological Awareness to make learning fun, hands-on, and effective. My goal is to help each child grow in confidence and readiness for kindergarten while fostering a love of learning
I have been in education for 7 years having experience with children of all age levels and abilities. 📓✏️I have worked at the YMCA and coach lacrosse🥍. I am also on Rover so I have experience with walking and taking care of dogs. I am fun, reliable and organize!! Message me for more details 😊

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
