Hi! My name is Rebekah, I love pets and would love to watch yours! As a fellow pet owner I know it’s stressful to go out of town and leave your pets with someone or have to put them in a kennel. I get it, but you don’t have to worry about leaving them with me!

Hi I’m Melody Jones and I am a 23 yr old bilingual (Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Counseling masters student at the University of Memphis. I offer various babysitting services, from set schedules to date nights and occasional help! I have over 8 years of child care experience from babysitting, nannying and other jobs. Over that time I have worked with children ranging ages 2 months- 13 years old. I enjoy working with a family that likes to get outside on a sunny Memphis day, as well as one that enjoys a good indoor craft and day well spent at home. I can assist all ages with homework as well as preparing meals, and driving them to their activities. I can also help parents with household tasks and errands to help lighten the load. I enjoy being able to assist in ways that allow you to focus on quality time with your family outside of other responsibilities. I also enjoy working with your four legged friends! I have spent many years pet sitting for both dogs and cats! I can assist with drop ins during log shifts for a food refill or even a long walk. I am also occasionally available for longer periods check-ins if you’re out of town! I look forward to helping local families out in ways that meet their needs! I can provide references upon request.

I have worked with all ages through summer camps, church events, and assisted living. I have worked with infants around 8 months and older, along with plenty of experience with multiple children of all ages at once. I have taught children in a church environment, gymnastics environment, and summer camp environment. I enjoy doing outdoor activities and playing games. I have worked in home health and assisted living facility. It’s very important to me that those who aren’t as able bodies get the help and respect they deserve.

"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."
