$20 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I’m Brooklyn! I am a student at the University of Pittsburgh currently studying for a Masters in applied developmental psychology, early, and special education. I have two siblings that I have spent plenty of time watching while my parents are away. In addition, I have been hired for two internships, one with Partners in Play Lab, and a position at The Watson Institute LEAP Preschool. I consider myself to be very adaptable, positive, and kind-spirited. I love board games, any sort of pretend play, or educational games and activities. I believe in consistency between caregiver and parent, so I am willing to follow guidelines and expectations set by parents! Thank you for your consideration!!

"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."
