Ed policy consultant with several years of experience with both young children and family pets. I love sitting for families and getting to interact with kids as they're young and curious. In my spare time, I enjoy reading.

I worked for Tucson Unified School District for 3 years as an after school care supervisor. Additionally, I worked for 2 summers as a children’s sports camp counselor for Tucson Country Club. Through these experiences, I met wonderful families who entrusted me with watching their little ones at home. I took care of dozens of pets for families I worked for as well as house sat for extended periods (maximum 3 weeks). I am responsible, diligent, and courteous and would love to help you relax while you’re away!
“Thanks!”

Hi! My name is Caroline and I am currently 19 and a student at Rhodes College. I have close to 5 years of experience working with children. I have worked as an assistant and a teacher at summer camps with elementary age kids, and I have worked several babysitting/ tutoring jobs throughout high school with kids aged 2-8 years old!
“Caroline was great. Very communicative and asked a lot of thoughtful questions. I loved that she texted an update when my oldest was fighting sleep. She was so attentive and kind. Thank you, Caroline!”

"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."
