Hi, my name is Precious I provide child care and household support services. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Political Science at Arkansas State University (remote). Alongside my studies, I have several years of experience babysitting and working as an Assistant Teacher with toddlers and young children. In these roles, I’ve supported daily routines, encouraged learning and play and created a safe, positive environment. I also can help with light household tasks such as cleaning and organizing. My background in customer service and administrative support has made me dependable, organized and great at multitasking and I look forward to helping out where I’m needed most.
Hi, I'm Juliette! I'm a registered nurse with a background in education and a passion for childcare. Originally from San Francisco, I've been living in Philly for the past two years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, including those with ADHD and autism. I love keeping kids engaged with creative, screen-free activities like outdoor adventures, crafting, reading, and games. I'm bilingual in French and happy to incorporate it into activities or conversations! I can also assist with cooking, running errands, and light housekeeping. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello my name is Latasha. I am a mother of two young adults. I have much experience with all people from all ages; ranging from new born to seniors. My main focus of work these days are with babies ages newborn to toddlers. I love kids and babysitting in general. I am not a grandmother yet, I am the auntie and godmother that ever body loves! I worked with head start to high schoolers. I am very active and outgoing. My children keep me young! I enjoy outside activities such as walking and going to the park. I also enjoy singing songs and other exciting indoor and outdoor activities. I am patient, kind, and efficient. I also love animals! I have a cat name Lilly, who is near and dear to my heart!
“Latasha was so sweet with our little boy. He's in a real separation anxiety phase and she dealt with it so lovingly and patiently. Will definitely contact her again! Thank you Latasha!!”
Hello! I’m Laura! 😊 I’m a college graduate with a background in Engineering, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. I have experience caring for pets and some experience with children through my family. I’m almost 30 and currently looking for something fun and meaningful to keep me busy while helping others. I’m responsible, caring, and dependable, and I’d love the opportunity to help with pets, kids, or other household needs!
Hey! My name is Nai, I am a 19 year old female student currently looking for flexible work to match my studies & figured urban sitter would be the way to go! I am an oldest sister to 3 younger siblings and have a large family so I’ve spent most of my years taking care of children & pets of all sorts! I absolutely love working with kids & animals alike, and also have many years of cooking & cleaning experience to pair it with, so I do not mind taking on any other household responsibilities while on the job. I hope you can consider taking me into consideration for whatever position you may require me to fill! I understand relying on another person, much less someone you don’t know, to care for your child or furry companion can be quite daunting, which is why I pride myself on making sure my clients are as comfortable as they can possibly be throughout the entire process and making sure to build trust, & good relationships with any and everyone I meet! So with that, thank you for your consideration & I hope to meet you soon! :)

"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
