Hi! I’m a college student studying business at UMass Amherst with 2 years of experience as a summer camp counselor working with children ages 3–10. I love spending time with kids and creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and supported. My previous summer camp counselor job has helped me develop strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills while supervising and caring for children. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to help families with childcare needs. I’m looking forward to meeting your family! ☺️
Hello! My name is Melissa, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a student looking for a part time babysitting job. As a person with a large family, I have been collecting childcare experience from a very early age. The bulk of my professional experience with children comes from teaching roles. I worked at Brooklyn Museum for two years as an art programs educator in both hands on workshop settings and as a formal tour guide in the galleries. Outside of the formal settings, I used to work as a freelance children's party entertainer. I also taught kids 4-6 literacy skills over the summer as a teen. I am available on weekends and some weekdays after 4:30 p.m. Please give me an idea of your family's needs/schedule and I will do my best to accommodate you! My hourly rate is flexible. Contact me with your budget and I will try to work with you.
I have raised my five children and care for my four grandhcildren. I also have experience working as an assistant in a Pre-K classroom. I love working with children.
Hi! My name is Diana, I’m 24 years old, and I’m Puerto Rican. I currently work full-time as a Program Director for adults with disabilities, which has given me years of experience providing care, support, patience, and understanding to individuals with different needs. Babysitting is more of a side hustle for me, but I take it just as seriously as my full-time career. I have 1–2 years of experience caring for children and babies, including toddlers and children with disabilities. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. I’m reliable, responsible, nurturing, and very flexible with my schedule whenever possible. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, playtime, meals, bedtime, or simply being an extra set of helping hands for busy parents, I always strive to provide the best care possible. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive, trusting relationship with both you and your children!

"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
