Hi! I’m Kelly, and I’m excited to offer babysitting as a fun and flexible side-gig. I have an associate’s degree as an ultrasound technologist and currently work as a software developer, so I bring both a medical background and strong problem-solving skills to my caregiving style. I have experience caring for my 6-month-old niece and have babysat friends’ children ranging from toddlers to teens (ages 2 to 15). I’ve also supported seniors and have plenty of experience with pets—I have both cats and dogs—so I’m very comfortable helping with multi-care households. I love caregiving because kids are genuinely fun to be around, and I enjoy creating an environment that’s safe, engaging, and nurturing. I’d describe my approach as “fun but firm”—I like to keep things playful while still maintaining structure. A little about me: I enjoy playing the ukulele, singing, and sewing. I’m creative, patient, and love bringing activities that spark imagination and joy. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!
Hi I am Alesha. I am a caring coach and youth leader with 10+ years of experience working with children. Skilled in sports, safety, behavior support, fun activities, and creating a positive, safe environment for kids.
Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile! As a child I was always the unpaid babysitter for my siblings and cousins. I was able to change diapers before I was even 10 so it comes naturally to take care and look after small kids. I’m very attentive and kind. I enjoy creative and fun activities! I currently take care of a family member as a caregiver for 3 years so that definitely emphasizes to my abilities to care, delegate and support others.
I am a caring, patient, and dependable person who enjoys helping others and making them feel safe and comfortable. I am responsible, organized, and attentive to details. I enjoy spending time with children, caring for seniors and pets, and helping with household tasks. I am a quick learner, a good listener, and always willing to go the extra mile to provide compassionate, reliable care and support.
Hi! My name is Ray and I have over a decade of childcare and tutoring experience, ranging from infants all the way up to high school. I studied inclusive education and fine arts at Houghton College in western New York. Though my childcare experience started at a young age babysitting, I have worked in professional settings as a nanny and teacher for kids of all ages. Most recently I was a preschool teacher for three years. I am currently working part time as a server on the weekends, but would love to get the chance to work with kids again! I have worked as a nanny and tutor for years, assisting with homework of all subjects. I also have experience with household errands such as cleaning, shopping, and laundry. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and have lived with cats and/or dogs my whole life.

"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
