Hello dear families, my name is Janet I consider myself a sweet caregiver, responsible and patient I am looking for my next family with whom I would like to be preferably a long time, I have experience 3 years, babysitter, household and the care of the elderly -Service babysitter/nanny - household/housekeeper
Hi, I’m Alexandra, 26 years old. I’m a responsible, friendly, and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience looking after kids of all ages, from babies to teens. I love getting creative with crafts and games, and I’m always happy to help out with cooking and light household tasks. Most of my experience comes from babysitting nieces and nephews of different ages, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. While I don’t hold a formal CPR/first-aid certification, I completed first-aid training in school and I’m always alert and prepared when caring for children. I’m available for morning shifts and on Saturdays, or at night after 8 PM. One recent family shared this about our time together: “Completely satisfied — she kept our son entertained for 7 hours straight with lots of variety. Impressively good.” (5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) I’d love the chance to meet your family and help care for your little ones!
Hi! I’m 25 years old and I work at children’s parties on weekends, doing face painting, balloon twisting, and other entertainment activities. I’ve been doing this for over three years. I also offer dog sitting in my home together with my fiancé. I love being around kids and animals — they bring so much joy and warmth into life! 🐶 I’m looking for extra opportunities to work in my free time, which is why I decided to create a profile here. My schedule is quite flexible, although I’m usually busy on weekends. I’d love to chat and discuss all the details personally! ✨
Hi! I’m Luci. 😊 New to this platform and happy to provide copies of my background checks. I’m a warm and dependable babysitter with three years of experience caring for children ages 10 months to 8 years. I focus on helping kids feel safe, understood, and supported while keeping routines calm and predictable. I recently graduated from Middlebury College, where I studied psychology with a focus on child development. This background helps me support emotional regulation, communication, and positive behavior, especially for children with ADHD or on the autism spectrum. I’m certified in First Aid and CPR and have experience with homework help, simple meal prep, bathroom routines, school pick ups and drop offs, and supporting bilingual English and Spanish language development. I also love incorporating creative, screen free activities like art, movement, and imaginative play. Families describe me as patient, attentive, and reliable. I communicate clearly with parents and follow household routines closely. I’m currently seeking a part time, long term position Tuesday through Friday and am available to start ASAP. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family.
As a 20-year-old, I bring 4 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. I'm a patient, empathetic, and creative babysitter who can engage kids with drawing, crafting, music, and games. I'm comfortable helping with pets, cooking, chores, and even homework assistance. I'm eager to learn and provide a safe, nurturing environment for your family. I'd be happy to discuss my availability and any other requirements you may have.

"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."
