Nai Philadelphia
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Nai, I am a 19 year old female student currently looking for flexible work to match my studies & figured urban sitter would be the way to go! I am an oldest sister to 3 younger siblings and have a large family so I’ve spent most of my years taking care of children & pets of all sorts! I absolutely love working with kids & animals alike, and also have many years of cooking & cleaning experience to pair it with, so I do not mind taking on any other household responsibilities while on the job. I hope you can consider taking me into consideration for whatever position you may require me to fill! I understand relying on another person, much less someone you don’t know, to care for your child or furry companion can be quite daunting, which is why I pride myself on making sure my clients are as comfortable as they can possibly be throughout the entire process and making sure to build trust, & good relationships with any and everyone I meet! So with that, thank you for your consideration & I hope to meet you soon! :)

Booked by 7 families in Palmyra, NJ

My name is Kate, and I am a 34-year-old elementary school teacher living in South Philly. I have my bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and I have been teaching for 12 years. I have worked with numerous grade levels (K, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7th) in Pennsylvania and South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in South Philly. Beyond that, I was previously a babysitter for years while in college, a swim instructor and life guard, and I still hold my CPR/AED certification. I also have up-to-date PA Child Abuse clearances and FBI clearances due to working for the School District. My schedule has me home by 3:00 p.m. every day, and I would love to fill some time helping out some families in the area with any pet, house, or babysitting needs! I am also available to tutor, in addition to these services. In my "spare" time, I love to work out, spend time with my fur babies, and read, read, read! If you feel like I would be a good fit for your needs, I would love to schedule a time to meet up and see if we can work something out. I look forward to hearing from you!

Kathryn was great! Very communicative and flexible. Our daughter had a blast and will definitely rehire! A+
