Ciarra 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Bedford, TX

Hello families! My name is Ciarra, and I bring over 10 years of childcare experience, starting with helping care for children in my own family from a young age. Now as a proud mom to my 17-month-old son, I understand even more deeply how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your little one. I love engaging children through arts and crafts, creative play, and fun activities that encourage learning and exploration. My approach is gentle, patient, and nurturing, always focused on making kids feel safe and cared for. Along with childcare, I’m happy to assist with light household tasks such as tidying up, grocery shopping, or meal prep to help make your family’s day run a little smoother. You can count on me to be reliable, understanding, and flexible. Whether you need occasional help, consistent care, or last-minute support, I’ll provide the same level of love and attentiveness that I give my own child. As a mom myself, I know what it feels like to leave your child in someone else’s care — it can be exciting but also nerve-wracking. That’s why I take my role so seriously. I want every parent I work with to feel peace of mind knowing their child is not only safe, but happy, loved, and engaged while they’re with me. I also know how busy family life can get! Sometimes having an extra set of hands makes all the difference, so I’m more than happy to help with day-to-day things like light chores, errands, or grocery shopping. My goal is to support your household in a way that makes life easier, while giving your child a positive and caring environment. At the end of the day, I truly see this as more than just babysitting — it’s about building trust and being someone you can count on. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and be a dependable part of your support system. I look forward to meeting you all ❤️ FYI I offer pet feeding or sitting/drop in's and dog walking. anything extra I can do to help I am willing

We had a wonderful experience with Ciarra. She was great with our kids. She was very attentive and caring with them. Having her son join us was a great plate date for our little one as well. We will definitely work with Ciarra again if we need help watching our kids!

Ava $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ava Marie. I’ll be attending UTA in the fall. I have worked in the service industry, and I’m transitioning into childcare because I love teaching kids to be creative and free in spirit! When it comes to my experience, I have helped raise my younger twin sisters my entire life. I love being playful, spending time outdoors, and being active! I am naturally a silly person that loves being around children because they are youthful and easy to inspire! I am a phenomenal role model for kids to look up to! I would love to work as a teacher in Spain or in Costa Rica! I admire the gentle parenting approach, and would love to gain some insightful parenting skills from working in different family dynamics. I am currently looking for part time work, and have flexible availability. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Booked by 169 families in Bedford, TX

*Not available to sit for sick (contagious) children* Having been on UrbanSitter close to its inception in 2014, I have over 25 years experience in childcare. I’ve worked with infants to 15-year-olds, and earned my certificate for early childhood development with the University of Oklahoma. I have worked in a nursery, as a teacher's assistant in an after school care program, as a nanny and mother’s helper. For over four years I was contracted by a sitting agency in Oklahoma and Dallas and was chosen twice as Sitter of the Month based on requests and family feedback. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am attentive to routines and guidelines while also connecting to kids with silly playtime. I am also very artsy and love to create things with kids, sing and make up stories and characters. Several families ask me back multiple times, and I look forward to meeting yours!

Booked by 95 families in Bedford, TX

Hello nice to meet You & Your Little Ones..or Big Ones (older children/special needs/adults)! I am a WEEKEND, DATE-NIGHT, OVERNIGHT, and HOTEL-CARE for Out-of-Towners SITTER!! I've been blessed to have had 36 repeat families since I started with Urbansitter, in September of 2017, and MORE THAN 90 BOOKINGS than what is stated here! I say that because I have had 10 LONG TERM BOOKINGS. I believe: Caring for children is the most fulfilling job next to caring for the elderly! Of which, I also have experience caring for the elderly, as a Certified Nurse Assistant for rehabilitation/psych facilities, Caregiver and Activity Director in Assisted Living. I apply the professional skills gained while having the privilege of working for the Early Childhood Program, at the Fontana Unified School District, in California. For 15 years, I was guided and trained by Behavior Specialist, School Psychologist, Counselors, and phenomenal experienced educators in the field of education and child development. For 10 years, I continued to develop my education in child development by continuing to be a student at Chaffey College. I'm providing this information to you, the loving parents, that when I am caring and working with your children I am using the knowledge I have been taught and trained while being an Assistant Teacher and continuing college student of such an awesome early childhood education program, as I was fortunate to be a part of, and in the study of Child Development. If there's certain practices as a teacher that we use that do not coincide or match your parenting skills please let me know so I may try to mirror your rearing preferences. But it is skills learned that are very effective in keeping children safe while in care in a school setting, that also transcends into home care while children are away from their parents. For example, if walking to the park the child stays walking side by side, or holding hands, not running far ahead in front of adult looking after the child as trying to arrive to the park, and rules are explained ahead of time. In our classroom we also had siblings to work with, which could be challenging, but at home it is different. I have had the privilege of caring for many siblings through Urbansitter! WORK EXPERIENCE: I have 25 years of working with children age 3 to Jr. High School, as a Bilingual Teacher Aide, and as a Special Ed. Early Childhood Teacher Aide- Preschool ages 3-5 years old. I also worked as a Respite Care Provider, for families with children who have special needs, caring for them in their homes. I worked in these two professions until February 2021. FYI - Long hours (8+ hours) are not a problem, as I am accustomed to working 12-hour days, as I was once a Certified Nurse Assistant(CNA). I do overnight care if needed, or 12+ hours, during the week as well. EDUCATION: In doing the LVN ladder program at my college, I earned a Medical-Surgical Nurse Assistant Vocational Certificate, from Chaffey College, in California, of which I am most proud of! Before earning that I became a Certified as a Nurse Assistant (CNA), allowing me to work in hospitals, psych facilities, and nursing registries. I am fully vaccinated, CPR & First Aid trained. As well as "LiveScanned"/fingerprinted, with the Dept. of Justice and the FBI, when I became a Respite Care Provider for Inland Respite Inc, in Riverside, CA. Also, I have earned an Associates of Arts degree, in Liberal Arts & Sciences, that allowed me to be employed for the school districts I had the pleasure of working with, for 25 years. I was working on finishing an Associates of Science Degree in Child Development, being just shy a few classes. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERING: I have volunteered in a Cub Scout program in Fontana, CA. and in Ontario, California, as a Den Leader (even though my sons had moved onto Boy Scouts). I volunteer as a religious education Teacher for Elementary & High School age students. Currently I teach third grade students. I have volunteered for the Boy Scouts of America, as well as the Girls Scouts. I also served on the PTA board for several years. Currently, I am a Faith formation volunteer teacher at St Jude Catholic Church, in Mansfield, TX. NUTSHELL: As you can see, I do enjoy working with ALL children..at the end of the day it is a VERY REWARDING EXPERIENCE! Even though it could be a bit challenging for example: when caring for siblings who may not be accustomed to listening / following the direction of another adult, I am still up for the challenge:) But I would hope parents do speak to their children about respect for another adult coming into their home. PATIENCE, SAFETY & LOVE...my motto. PETS - I don't mind caring for your pets. I love them too. DRIVING - I don't mind providing transportation for your children, but please do consider compensating the service. INTERVIEWS - I will accept FaceTime interviews, only if necessary, but I am not tech savvy. Therefore, you're welcome to FaceTime me once we exchange numbers. Your patience is much appreciated with this task! FOR IN-PERSON interviews- I rarely experience requests for face to face interviews, but if one is needed - Compensation for time/gas/mileage may be required depending on your location. CANCELLATIONS- IF I AM IN ROUTE & YOU MUST CANCEL: PLEASE COMPENSATE MY TIME/GASOLINE, ONLY FAIR TO DO SO.
