Hello I’m Amber, a mom of 2, and I have a lot of experience working with kids 6wks-teens as a former director/owner/ educator of a licensed daycare home for over 7 years. I chose a different career path after covid but I really love kids in my core. Over the past 27yrs, I have also worked at recreation centers, 24-hr daycares, non-profits for daycare accreditation, Head Start & ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) I understand different parenting styles, living arrangements, so there's no judgement, just quality care, and the need to go with the flow of life. I'm a basketball mom as well so I figured I give this a shot too lol. I have some free time to play outside of my current part-time position and would love to help you parents out.
“Excellent babysitter! She was reliable, caring, and great with our child. She kept him,happy, safe, and entertained.Highly recommend!”
Are you seeking a reliable caregiver who brings a wealth of experience and genuine passion to the table? Look no further! With over 7 years of dedicated babysitting experience, coupled with a nurturing demeanor, I offer a unique blend of care for your little ones, seniors, or beloved pets. As the eldest sibling in my family, caregiving comes naturally to me, and I’ve honed my skills through assisting parents and caring for family friends’ babies. I also have a recent background check and hold CPR and First Aid certifications, ensuring your loved ones are in safe hands. Additionally, my tutoring background ensures that not only will your loved ones be nurtured, but they’ll also receive valuable educational support. Let’s create a warm and welcoming environment together, where your family members are cherished and supported every step of the way.
Hello, I’m Aleehya — a compassionate and experienced childcare provider with over seven years of dedicated service supporting children from infancy through late adolescence. My background includes working as a Registered Behavioral Technician in ABA therapy, where I support children with autism and other developmental needs through structured, evidence-based behavioral interventions designed to help them thrive. I bring a nurturing, patient, and encouraging presence to every setting, whether I’m caring for infants with gentle routines, helping school-aged children with emotional and social development, or supporting teens with life skills and confidence-building activities. I’ve also served as an assistant teacher at my church for over two years, where I help lead lessons and provide a safe, positive learning environment for children of all ages. In addition to childcare, I also offer reliable pet care services for families — from daily support and overnight care to working with dogs and cats who have medical or behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and tending to pets with specific routines or health conditions. Whether supporting a child with sensory sensitivities or comforting a pet recovering from surgery, I approach each situation with empathy, attentiveness, and professionalism. My goal is always to provide peace of mind for families by creating a caring, structured, and uplifting space where both children and pets feel secure, valued, and understood.
“Aleehya was great, I needed her in an impromptu situation and she handled everything perfectly. I would definitely recommend her and will definitely use her again”
Hello! My name is Ariana and I am a graduate student. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 12-13 years old watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I have been responsible for driving to/from school, crafts, driving to/from after-school activities, and completing chores. I love hanging out and doing activities that the children enjoy, while teaching life and communication skills that are age appropriate! (ex. maintaining a clean room, completing homework, communicating needs, etc.) For house sitting, I have been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, and regularly checking in on the house when needed. I am comfortable with most pets, but am most familiar with dogs.
“Warm, professional, and a joy for our daughter to be around. ”

"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."
