I am a responsible, caring, and patient caregiver with professional experience working with young children. I currently work as a paraprofessional/teacher assistant with children ages 3–5. I support children with daily routines, learning activities, communication, play, and social skills, and I have experience working with children with autism. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing a safe and caring environment. I also have a bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Colombia.
Hello! I'm a responsible and experienced childcare provider who enjoys working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I'm CPR and First Aid certified for adults and children, and safety is always my top priority. I create a nurturing and positive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported. I'm happy to help with homework, educational activities, and creative play, as well as assist with light household duties and meal prep. I have my own reliable transportation, making it easy to handle school drop-offs, pick-ups, and activities. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about providing quality care.
Hi, I’m Kayla! I’m from Central New Jersey. I’ve been working in childcare for almost 4 years and have been babysitting for about 2.5 years. I have a BA in Psychology and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Early Childhood Education. I’m a Pre-K teacher and have also led several after-school enrichment programs for children from preschool through eighth grade, so I have experience with a wide range of ages and developmental stages. I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority for me. I’d describe myself as reliable, punctual, and warm. I treat every child I encounter like an extension of my own family with patience, care, and respect. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and thrive in a fun and supportive environment. I look forward to the potential of working with your family!
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 have five years of professional childcare experience as a Teaching Assistant at You’re Adorable Nursery School in the Bronx. In this role, I cared for young children, organized interactive story times and learning activities, welcomed prospective families, and trained new employees to maintain a high standard of care. I was also trusted to babysit the nursery school owner’s three daughters outside of work. Additionally, I regularly care for my four nieces and nephews, giving me continued hands-on experience with children of different ages. I’m patient, nurturing, responsible, and attentive. I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities, helping with meals and routines, and keeping children safe and engaged. I’m also dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. My professional experience and close involvement with my nieces and nephews have made childcare something that comes very naturally to me.

"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."
