Booked by 8 families in Garnet Valley, PA
I am a proud mom of two beautiful daughters who are now 22 and 20 years old. Raising them gave me so much hands-on experience with children of all ages, and I absolutely loved every stage. I also have professional experience working in daycare settings, especially with infants and toddlers. I've cared for babies from a very young age, handling feeding, naps, diapering, and all the daily routines with patience and care. In addition, I've had the opportunity to support children with special needs through activities tailored to their abilities, and I really enjoy creating fun, engaging play-based activities that help kids learn and grow—whether it's sensory play, arts and crafts, music, outdoor time, or simple developmental games. I'm reliable, nurturing, and energetic, and I treat every child as if they were my own. I'd love to chat more about how I can support your family! Looking forward to hearing from you,

"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."
