Hi, my name is Rachel. I am a 37-year-old Italian mother of two (an 8-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl), I come from a large Italian family, plenty of experience with multitasking. I am ready to re-enter the workforce after spending the last 6 years as a full-time homemaker. As the primary provider for my children, I am motivated, dependable, and ready to work. I bring over 13 years of experience working with children from newborns through age 16. I also have nearly 16 years of experience as a caregiver in assisted living settings and providing care for family members. In addition, I have professional experience in housekeeping and cooking, including weekly meal prep tailored to specific dietary needs. I am very comfortable with animals of all kinds and enjoy working in homes with pets. I have reliable transportation and can commute in any type of weather. I have lived in Nevada for over 2 years and previously lived in Colorado, where I worked as a professional driver for about 6 years with a pilot car company supporting oversized loads. I also have hands-on construction experience from working in my father’s business. I am skilled at building, basic handyman tasks, and I am comfortable using computers and learning new systems. If you think I would be a good fit for your family, home, or business, I would love to connect. Please feel free to message me to set up a time to talk or meet. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Hello! I’m Shanda, and caring for children has been my passion for many years. I have 36 college units in Early Childhood Education and have had the privilege of working with children of all ages—from preschool through high school—including children with special needs. Throughout my career I’ve served as a preschool director, worked in elementary, middle, and high school settings, coordinated large Vacation Bible School programs, and organized monthly respite nights for families of children with special needs, giving parents a chance to rest while their children enjoyed a safe, fun, and welcoming environment. Today I work for the local school district and also teach preschool part-time. While experience is important, I believe the heart behind the work matters just as much. I’ve always been drawn to children who need a little extra patience, encouragement, or someone who truly sees them. Whether a child is outgoing, shy, energetic, anxious, or simply having a difficult day, I strive to create a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe, respected, and valued. Families often describe me as patient, dependable, and kind. I enjoy reading stories, doing crafts, playing games, spending time outdoors, helping with homework, and encouraging children’s curiosity and confidence. My goal is for every child in my care to know they are important, capable, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, compassionate care for your children. “Some of the most meaningful relationships I’ve built have been with children others found challenging, because I believe every child deserves to be understood before they are judged.”
Hello, my name is Emily. I am a teacher and work with deaf and hard of hearing children with multiple disabilities. I am hearing but am an ASL user if needed. I am 25 and have been babysitting part time for 7 years now. I am available to babysit, tutor, house sit, or whatever your family may need. I have two dogs and grew up on a farm around all sorts of animals. I am teaching so my hours work around a school schedule. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I’d love to meet you and your family :)
I’ve worked with children, seniors, and animals in various settings over the years. I’ve taught English to children in foreign countries, worked at day cares, kids art booths, baby sat, worked with seniors in hospice care. Growing up I helped take care of my grandmother. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have worked with exotic animals that were rescues.
Hello families! I'm a local artist who loves to share my creativity with children of all ages. I've traveled teaching art around the world and i'm alway saving for another trip to expand my knowledge and friendships. My experience nannying spans over 15 years since my first little sibling was born when I was 10. I now have 3 younger siblings and have always felt like a second mom in the family. Caring for and nurturing children will always be part of my life because I firmly believe in mentorship. We all have to work together to become the people we are today. I usually bring an art bag and some hula hoops along with me and depending on the ages and some books! I can drive to any location also. Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to meeting you, have a beautiful day ! :)
“tailor was great! she was prompt, very flexible when our childcare needs shifted, and wonderful with our 17 month old daughter! we would definitely use tailor 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."
