Hi! My name is Shelby and I have always had a passion for animals. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to work directly with animals. That passion led me to a career as a Zoo Keeper, for two of the nations top zoos. In addition to my years of experience as a zoo keeper, I also spent 3 years as a veterinarian assistant. I am a trained and caring individual that will treat your pets with the same love and attention.
I have three children of my own who are now teenagers. I worked as an elementary computer lab teacher (Grade Pre-K through 5th grade) for 6 years. I have worked as a weekend caregiver for 8 years, where I did light housekeeping and meal preparation for an elderly couple. I have done pet setting for birds, turtles, cats & small and medium size dogs.
Nurturing the growth and development of children is my true passion. With three years of experience caring for up to three children, I focus on creating a supportive environment for ages 0-11. My background includes Early Child Development coursework, which helps me foster meaningful learning experiences. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to ensure your little ones remain safe. I am a patient, calm, and approachable caregiver who loves engaging kids through outdoor sports, board games, and educational apps. I am happy to assist with carpooling, travel, and creative crafts. Since I am a confident swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision for your children. I prioritize your preferences by following your lead on household rules and communication methods. My goal is to make a positive impact on your family's daily life, and I truly look forward to meeting you and your children.
Hi - My name is Vannessa and I am a retired wife, mother, grandmother and First Lady. I am currently offering household cleaning services. I have been a caretaker for my own family members in the past. I can cook, clean and help with organizing spaces. I prefer not to work with families with pets.
“Vannessa, delivers thorough, detail-oriented work in organizing and decluttering residential spaces. She demonstrates strong judgment in sorting and preparing items for donation, while maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and organization. Vannessa also, effectively follows homeowner preferences and ensures tasks are completed efficiently and thoughtfully. I would definitely hire her again.”
Hi! My name is Michelle and I am currently working at Christ Methodist Day School as an Infant Teacher. I’m offering pet care, and child care. I absolutely love children and animals! I have been babysitting for over a year now. With tons of experience with family members and at my jobs at daycares. As for the pets, I have experience from taking care of my own. I currently own 3 dogs and 2 cats! They are my babies and see them as part of my family! I can cook, clean and help around! I’ll take your dog on walks, dog parks, out to go potty and help with feeding and baths! For your actual human babies, I’ll change their diapers, do bottles, play with them, do crafts (which I will provide supplies), give them dinner, bathe them, read them stories and put them to bed. I will be following a detailed routine for bedtime if you want me to! I’ll stay right beside them or hold them until they fall asleep.

"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."
