I currently work full-time while attending college online full-time, and I’m looking to earn extra income doing something I genuinely love: caring for others! My experience started with babysitting my younger cousins and family friends’ children. I also helped raise my little sisters while my mom worked long hours. Later, I worked at the same daycare my sisters attended, gaining experience with children of different ages. I genuinely LOVE playing with children, doing arts and crafts, and coming up with fun, creative activities to keep them entertained! At family gatherings, I’m always the person the kids run to because they know I’ll have something fun planned for them. I love making children feel included, happy, and comfortable while creating memories with them. I also have plenty of customer service experience, have taken basic psychology classes, and consider myself patient, responsible, compassionate, and dependable. I love seniors as well and would be more than happy to provide companionship, help with everyday tasks, or assist with their care. I grew up around all kinds of animals, including cattle, horses, dogs, cats, and goats, so I’m comfortable with pets and open to different household needs. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, so I can help children practice either language in a fun, natural way. I’m happy to meet with parents and their children beforehand to make sure we’re a good fit and everyone feels comfortable. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and fun environment while making your family’s life a little easier!
I'm a master's student in counseling and psychotherapy, specializing in child and adolescent behavioral therapy. I worked in a kindergarten for three years and loved every moment of it. I have a deep love for children and enjoy engaging with them through creative play. I'm usually their favorite because I’m always up for fun and tapping into their world to make meaningful connections that support their growth and well-being. I've been a caretaker for my grandparents and I'm comfortable with caring for elderly, cooking, cleaning, driving to appointments, etc. I love dogs and I would be fine with families with dogs.
Hello!! My name is Laura and I have tons of experience with children. I have 10 years experience with toddler age alone so I’m very patient and creative in stressful times.

“Punctual and so thoughtful. Very sweet with the kiddos. ”
Hi!My name is Sofia, and I’m originally from Ukraine. I moved to the United States due to the war in my home country. I have nearly five years of hands-on childcare experience, caring for children from newborns to 7 years old. Working with children has become a true passion of mine, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where they can learn, grow, and feel comfortable I also have a strong educational and professional background. I hold a Master’s degree in Agronomy, specializing in Plant Protection and Environmental Studies, and I previously worked in my field before moving to the United States. I consider myself responsible, punctual, patient, organized, and attentive to detail. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in caring and trustworthy hands
“We had a wonderful experience with Sofiia! She took care of our two children, who were 1 and 5 years old at the time, for over a year. Sofiia is very caring, attentive, and patient with kids. Our children loved spending time with her, and even now, our daughter still talks about Sofiia and asks to see her again. We truly appreciated having her as our babysitter and would highly recommend her!”

"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."
