I have several years of childcare experience, including nannying for a one-year-old for the past year and caring for a two- and three-year-old for two years. I’ve also worked at summer camps, so I’m comfortable planning activities and keeping kids engaged. I’m outgoing, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I’m currently in graduate school for counseling, which has strengthened my ability to connect with children and support their emotional development. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs and am very comfortable with pets. My schedule is flexible.
Hi! I’m Ally, a caring, dependable, and experienced caregiver with over five years of babysitting experience and a genuine love for working with kids. I’ve cared for children ranging from under 1 year old through 13 years old, so I’m comfortable with everything from bottles and nap schedules to homework help and creative play. I also worked as an outdoor educator at an urban farm, where I guided kids through hands-on learning experiences, nature activities, and group projects. That role helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to keep kids engaged in fun, safe, and enriching ways. In addition to childcare, I have two years of elder caregiving experience, which strengthened my attentiveness, compassion, and sense of responsibility. I’ve also been a trusted house and pet sitter for over five years, regularly caring for dogs and cats and maintaining homes with care and respect. I’m calm, organized, and nurturing, and I truly enjoy creating safe, positive environments where kids can feel supported, have fun, and be themselves. I would love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!
Hi- My name is Lana and I offer babysitting and household/yard services: cooking/cleaning, weeding etc. I have 3 nieces (twins-age 2, and 4 yr old) who I babysit regularly and they are the joy of my life. We love going to the park together, read books, color, play “kitchen”, ride scooters/bikes and so much more. I like to stay busy and in my free time I enjoy running, hiking/backpacking, and training martial arts.
Hi my name is Perla and I am a single mom that is going back to school to obtain a speech and language pathology certification. My bachelors degree is in child and adolescent development. I am pet friendly and have pets of my own and am excited to work with families while my kiddos are at school. My kiddos are 6 and 8 so I have plenty of first hand experience as well. I am also a native Spanish speaker. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Hello! My name is Sylvia. I have a genuine love for children and enjoy creating a positive, safe, and engaging environment where they can learn, play, and grow. I have more than 10 years of experience caring for children of different ages as a teacher and as a nanny. I have a bachelors in early childhood education. Also, I always aim to build trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I’m responsible, patient, and organized and I enjoy helping with daily routines, meals, and creative activities. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs and how I can support you. Please feel free to contact me if you’d like to talk further or schedule an interview. Warmly, Sylvia B. [remove[removed]250

"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
