Hi, my name is Precious I provide child care and household support services. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Political Science at Arkansas State University (remote). Alongside my studies, I have several years of experience babysitting and working as an Assistant Teacher with toddlers and young children. In these roles, I’ve supported daily routines, encouraged learning and play and created a safe, positive environment. I also can help with light household tasks such as cleaning and organizing. My background in customer service and administrative support has made me dependable, organized and great at multitasking and I look forward to helping out where I’m needed most.
Hello folks! I have two years as a Girl Scout Camp Counselor for a sleepaway camp, with one of those years being the leader of my entire unit. Furthermore, I have 3 years of pet sitting for both cats and dogs, with those jobs including keeping up with the house (mail, cleaning, etc). I am currently a Graduate student at Temple University for Voice Performance. I have received my Bachelor's degree from The University of Tulsa for Vocal Performance.
I am a student at the University of Pennsylvania and I love working with children and pets! I have about 2 years of babysitting experience, working with children (infants - 10 years old). My responsibilities have included preparing food, reading to kids, putting them to sleep, cleaning, etc. I am fluent in Spanish and English. I am also conversational in German, Mandarin Chinese, and French. I am CPR certified. I have also volunteered in pet shelters for about 2 years. I hope to share my experience and passion with others!
Hi! I'm Sarah, it's nice to meet you! My education: I recently graduated from college with a Bachelor's in Psychology and Philosophy. Currently I am a graduate student pursuing a Master's in Professional Counseling. I have taken classes on development and childhood as part of my course work. My experience with children: I have babysat mostly school-age children in the past (5-13), but I have some experience with toddlers as well. I also used to lead a crafting and learning time at a nature center in high school, where I taught kids about an aspect of nature/the environment and lead them through a related art project. I am able to help with homework and love making learning fun. My experience with pets: I have owned many different kinds of pets including dogs, snakes, birds, bunnies, and even an alligator! I love animals and am a fast learner for any animal I don't have experience with. A bit about me: I am the oldest of 7 kids, so growing up I often took on caretaking roles around the house. I loved tutoring my younger siblings, cooking dinner for my family, and generally "babysitting" them when my parents weren't home. My oldest brother is on the autism spectrum and has a variety of special needs, which has given me some first hand experience with what taking care of a special needs individual can look like. My siblings also gave me experience navigating dietary restrictions and severe allergies.
“Sarah works great with my daughter & we look forward to seeing her again! ”

"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."
