I am a dedicated, intentional, fun and gentle personality with a deep love for children and a passion in serving and caring for others. In my blended family of four siblings , I am the eldest of three so my caregiving familiarity spans almost my entire life. Professionally, I have 4 years experience caring for little to medium humans from ages 1-16 in various roles like an after school teacher and summer camp counselor. From homework help to fun engaging activities to genuine joy in care, I'm there! Ready and eager to serve. I am also available for house and pet-sitting!
I am one of six and have been babysitting since I could watch my little siblings and cousins. I love kids and am now an aunt to a two-year-old. I spent the past year and a half as a nanny for a one-year-old. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan and am currently based in Clinton Hill. As a nanny, I also help keep the house tidy and help out with errands. I love to create fun games and engaging activities. I have received training in CPR and first aid.
Hi, I’m Mia. I graduated from Rutgers University, and as the oldest of five siblings, caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. I’ve helped care for my younger siblings since I was young, and I’ve spent years caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. My siblings even call me their second mom, which is one of the greatest compliments I could receive. I’m comfortable with feeding, nap and bedtime routines, homework help, activities, transportation, and creating a safe, positive environment where children can thrive. What I love most is building genuine connections with kids, celebrating their milestones, encouraging their growth, and being a dependable, caring presence in their lives. I also had the privilege of helping care for both of my grandparents, who lived to 90 years old. That experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of providing thoughtful support. I’m comfortable assisting with companionship, meal preparation, errands, and day-to-day senior care needs. In addition to childcare and senior care, I have experience as a household assistant and enjoy helping families keep their homes running smoothly. Whether it’s cooking, organizing, tidying up, grocery shopping, or running errands, I’m happy to help make daily life a little easier. I’m allergic to cats, but I’m very comfortable around dogs and would be happy to work with families who have them. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and easy to communicate with, and I look forward to supporting a family in whatever way they need most.
Hi! My name is Alyssa and I graduated last year from Cal Poly SLO. I am starting my masters program at Pepperdine this coming Fall and am hoping to find a part time nannying job. I have nannied/babysat since I was 15 and have lots of experience with kids of all ages. I also have a 2 year old brother and 16 month old sister so I am very comfortable with babies and toddlers as well!
Hi! My name is Loly. I offer childcare and pet care services. I enjoy working with children and have experience caring for toddlers and older kids. My responsibilities have included playing with them, doing crafts, bedtime routine. I am also comfortable taking care of pets. I can help with light household tasks such as organizing clothes, loading the dishwasher, and unloading it. I'm responsible, patient, respectful, and enjoy creating a safe and positive environment for 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."
