Hello! I’m Alexis, everyone’s favorite auntie! I’ve been taking care of my family and friend’s kids since I was in elementary school. My first babysitting job was when I was in 4th grade. I’ve worked with children of all ages. I was a field hockey coach to middle schoolers and high schoolers in my early 20’s. Currently, I’ve been an eldery caregiver to both my parents, one, was sick with lung cancer. Im also, currently, working on getting my teaching english as a foreign language certificate.
Beauty professional and cat mom— I have cared for my own cat and others for the past five years. I am an animal lover and will treat your family as my own!
Hi, I am Pema! I have been working with children ages 4-11 for the past three summers at Tree Frog Treks, a science and nature focused summer camp in San Francisco. In my role as Naturalist, I led groups of children in full days of exploring, productive play, and hands-on inquiry-based learning about science and nature in Golden Gate Park and throughout the city. I recently earned my Bachelor's degree from Wesleyan University with high honors in Dance and Environmental Studies and I am excited for the opportunity to continue my passion for working with kids beyond the summer season. I am passionate about the environment and love engaging with kids outside. I also love anything creative, with a background in visual arts and musical theater, in addition to dance.
“Pema was punctual, friendly and a great sport playing with my toddler.”
Hello! My name is Adeline, and I am a college student from Minnesota! I recently graduated high school in 2023, and I am in my second year of attending college in New York! Fun fact: I am a film student! I have 8 years of babysitting experience, and about 4 years of pet sitting experience. I have babysat several different families in Minnesota, with the kids ages ranging from 2 years to 13 years old. Apart from babysitting, I have also worked as student director for 7 youth musical productions! I have also pet sit for several different families in Minnesota, pets ages ranging from 6 months to 14 years old, both cats and dogs! I love doing karaoke, playing board games, going to parks, taking dogs for walks, exploring museums, and watching movies! Babysitting and dog sitting are the best because I can do all my favorite things while working! But, I am always open to learn new fun activities, games and hobbies your kids or pets might be interested in!
Hi, I’m Lillie, a college student here in the city! I am offering many services from pet care and childcare to cleaning and household tasks! I have previously worked multiple customer service jobs which have required communicating with people of all ages. One of these jobs was at a bakery where my responsibilities also included a lot of cleaning and organizing. I have younger cousins and neighbors who I have babysat from time to time, and have spent the past two summers caring for my elderly grandmother. This care (for either/and children and the elderly) has included reading and writing, word and board games, and cooking and cleaning. As far as pets go, I have had dogs, cats, and rabbits my whole life, as well as petsit for friends and family.

"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
