Hi - My name is Kara! I’m 29 years old and I've been working with kids since I was 16 and absolutely love it. I’ve been in a nanny-share since 2021 and just recently said goodbye to my little ones who started preschool. I took care of them since they were three months old and now they are two and half years old. I’m now in a new nanny-share and taking care of a four month old and a five month old. I love being a nanny but recently have missed the babysitting experience. I love coloring, puzzles, playing pretend, and watching Disney movies with the kiddos.
“She was extremely communicative and very sweet, highly recommend!”
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!
I work full-time in Project Management, Monday- Friday, and offer occasional sitting on evenings and weekends. With over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I’m comfortable managing multiple kids at once and have provided everything from regular sitting to overnight and travel-based care. I’m happy to consider these options again if the schedule aligns. I’m an engaged, hands-on sitter who loves doing arts & crafts, playing board games, getting outside for walks or playtime, and just relaxing with a good movie! In my free time, I love traveling, spending time outdoors, and just unwinding. I’m also an animal lover with two cats and a dog—your furry friends will be in good hands too!
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!!”

"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
