Hi - My name is Lyric, I am 28 and I am a graduate of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi with my bachelors in kinesiology. I am offering child care and household services, I am also Covid vaccinated! I have been babysitting and taken on roles as a nanny for the last 5 years since I moved to Austin with kids ages ranging from as young as 3 months old to 12. I have loved being a babysitter since I was a young girl helping my mom out with my younger brothers and have been watching toddlers, and kids for the past 8 years as a gymnastics coach. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school for some of my gymnasts and having between 8-12 girls in my care for hours at a time. I also work as a household assistant and can cook and clean. I currently work full time as an operations support specialist (physical therapy tech/aide) while applying this year for Physical Therapy school! My full time job hours are M/Th until 4pm, T/W until 6pm, and Fridays until 2pm! If references are needed especially for little ones between 3-12 months old I can provide those as well!
Hello parents! My name is Fabi. I’m 32 years old, and I’ve been working with children since I was 19, including 5 years as a private elementary school teacher, over 6 years as a professional nanny and babysitter and six months in a daycare. I have a degree in education with a focus on ESL. My approach when babysitting is to try and engage children in games, reading, imaginative play, and also I love to do arts and crafts projects as a form of interaction. I always bring super fun activities with me! The majority of my experience has been with new born up to 15 years. I love kids! I’m a proud mom to a strong 3-year-old who spent significant time in the NICU. That journey gave me valuable experience in infant care, thanks to the guidance of wonderful doctors and nurses. (Please note: My son does not come with me to bookings.) I am appreciated by families for being responsible, patient, nurturing, and kind, with a naturally warm and cheerful personality. I deeply believe that children thrive when they feel genuinely understood, respected, and loved in a safe and supportive environment. On top of my experience with children, I’m also CPR certified, First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish and I also love furbabies! Some policies I stick to: All reserved hours, including early arrivals, are kindly requested to be honored, as this time is dedicated exclusively to your family. I appreciate as much notice as possible for cancellations. These cherished opportunities are currently my only source of income, and I sincerely appreciate your understanding and support. I would love the opportunity to meet with you and your family! Thank you for visiting my profile!
Hi there! My name is Anarra, and by day, I am a elementary school music teacher! Kids of all ages have been my life for as long as I can remember, from taking care of my younger siblings as a child, to getting my first babysitting job for the neighbors at age 12, and nothing brings me greater joy than earning the trust and love of a child. I have worked with all ages from newborn - middle school aged, and I have experience with multiples, as well as premies. I have nannied full time for two different families with twins (2mo old boys, and 6mo old girls) and still do the occasional date night with both families! I do mostly date nights and weekends, but have also worked with two families as a night nanny, starting with babies as young as 2 weeks! I love to sing and dance, and play, and I’m always down for a round of dress up or playing with trains and monster trucks. I have two degrees, one in Music Education, and one in early childhood education. I have dedicated my life to loving and caring for children, and in my opinion, there’s nothing better in the world. I look forward to meeting you!
“So good with our kids!!”
Hello! My name is Raquel. I have experience working for families with three and one child, between seven months and four years. I love working with kids and I am very patient and sweet with them. I enjoy playing and performing indoor and outdoor activities. I am a Spanish speaker, so that I can teach them. I also have experience working with Seniors with Dementia, and I consider myself a loving caregiver. I have experience preparing light meals, feeding them, doing outdoor activities such as walking around the park and neighborhood, and administering medication according to the doctor's prescription. I enjoy nature (parks and rivers), and I like to listen to music and dance. I am a respectful and trustworthy person.
“Raquel was fantastic with my two toddlers! She was on time, engaged, energetic, and cleaned up after kiddos activities. I would not hesitate recommending Raquel to other parents!”

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
