Hi - I’m Madison Vogt. I’m a senior at Westlake high school. I offer childcare services along with pet services. I have been taking care of my younger siblings and family friends since I was 12. I live in a home with four younger siblings (ages 9-15) with a single dad who travels constantly so my responsibilities have always included taking kids to and from school, running errands, helping with homework, cooking and nighttime routines, I’m great with crafting, sports, and make believe. I’ve been babysitting for the past two years through Bambino. I am great with babies–15 y/o. I’m so excited to meet your family!
I am a 16 year old girl in high school who can drive. I have a twin brother as well as lots of dogs. I love basketball and hope to play in college as well be a doctor. I love kids and babysitting!
My name is Aralyn, and I have more than 2½ years of professional caregiving and childcare experience working with children and individuals who require compassionate, attentive support. For over a year, I have worked as a Child Development Assistant while also providing babysitting services for families. My background in both childcare and direct care has strengthened my ability to create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can thrive. I am CPR certified and trained in Safe Sleep practices and the Heimlich maneuver, and I prioritize every child's safety and well-being above all else. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence, whether that means reading books together, completing puzzles, making crafts, exploring the outdoors, visiting the park, or simply joining children in the activities they enjoy most. I believe every child learns differently, and I strive to build meaningful relationships by supporting their unique personalities, interests, and developmental needs. In addition to my childcare experience, I currently work as a Direct Care Partner, providing compassionate assistance to individuals with disabilities. This role has strengthened my patience, communication skills, adaptability, and attention to detail while reinforcing the importance of treating every person with kindness, dignity, and respect. These experiences have made me a dependable caregiver who remains calm under pressure and is committed to creating positive experiences for the families I serve. I am a rising senior at The University of Texas at Austin pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in African and African Diaspora Studies. My education has deepened my understanding of child development, movement, health, and wellness, and I hope to use this knowledge to continue making a positive impact on children's growth and overall well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy dancing, reading, spending time with family and friends, and staying active. I am a patient, dependable, energetic, and caring person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to building trusting relationships with families and providing dependable care that gives parents peace of mind while creating a positive, enriching experience for their children
“We are so happy we found Aralyn here! She is so sweet, accommodating, and I could tell the kids really liked her. We would definitely book again :) ”
Hi I am Sofia, I am 19 years old and in college on the pre-med track. I am CPR/ First aid certified and I have 5 years working with kids all ages. I was a childcare supervisor and camp counselor at lifetime fitness, I also have coached soccer and swimming lessons. I love staying active and coming up with new games and crafts to play. I also love pets! I am very patient and understanding and I have a passion for working with kids.
Hi! My name is Anna, I am a college student at UT Austin in my junior year of college. I absolutely adore children and I have worked as a babysitter throughout high school and college in various capacities. I have experience with all ages, and have worked as a regular babysitter for a child from age 5 to 9. Along with babysitting, I have worked as a tutor for elementary and middle-school aged children, a soccer coach for toddlers (aged 3 to 5), and a camp counselor for pre-teens. A little about me: I am studying environmental science in college with the goal of eventually going to law school to pursue environmental law. I am originally from Seattle, and come from a family of 3 brothers (1 younger, 2 older) who are my best friends. Some of my interests include yoga, hiking, reading, and music. I am available for a broad-range of work, and am happy to cook and clean as needed. I have reliable transportation, but do not have my own car here in Austin so I am unable to regularly transport kids in my own vehicle.
“Anna is wonderful and my daughter loved her. She’s incredibly dependable, responsive and prompt. I would highly recommend her to babysit and would definitely hire her again!”

"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."
