Hi, I’m Kaci! I offer babysitting for kids of all ages and senior care/companionship. I currently work remote full time but am available weekday late afternoon/evenings and any time on weekends. I have three years experience as a full-time nanny for three kids under four and I miss it so much! We spent most days exploring fun parks, visiting museums, doing arts and crafts, baking, and more. I also have several years of senior care experience, having worked as a medical assistant and a companion for Papa Pal, helping with appointments, walks, and daily tasks.

Howdy! I’m Ms. Cassie, and I have five years of experience and wonderful memories working with children. After graduating from UT, I found myself employed as a nanny, regular sitter, and now a full-time teacher at a small daycare. I love working with children of all ages; I primarily take care of little ones 3 months to 7 years. I am looking to supplement my income with regular or one-time sitting. I have experience with sibling groups, potty training, bedtime, cooking, and more. I love playing games and pretend, reading, sensory play, and building with different materials. Please contact me if you have any questions!

"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."
