I work full-time in Project Management, Monday- Friday, and offer occasional sitting on evenings and weekends. With 20 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!
Hello, my name is Giselle. I graduated from St Ed’s University with a Spanish degree and Bilingual Education minor. I’ve been babysitting for five years now and absolutely love it! All references can be provided upon request. I do have a three hour booking minimum. Please feel free to reach out and ask about my availability. I’m excited to meet you and your little one!
“Giselle was great with our kiddos and we would certainly work with her again!”
Hi there!! I graduated from Texas State in 2020 with a Bachelor’s in exercise sports science, where I spent a good amount of time working with the special education population. I currently work with seniors at a retirement community. I have worked with a wide range of children, from newborns to school-aged and older. I am mostly available in the late evenings, or for your special date night on the weekends. My primary language is English, but I am also a novice at ASL (American Sign Language.) CPR/First Aid certified. Vaccinated.
Hi there! I’m a certified behavior therapist with a year of experience working closely with children on the autism spectrum, helping them navigate milestones in fun, creative, and engaging ways. My passion for working with kids started early—I’ve been babysitting since I was 13, caring for large family households in my church. I also have extensive experience house-sitting and pet-sitting for friends and family, and I absolutely love all animals! With my positive, enthusiastic spirit, I’m always excited to tackle any task and give my best to every family I work with!
“Our kids loved having Bailey! They asked when she can come again, and to add her to our “favorites!””
Hello parents! I am a licensed teacher with many years of experience working with youth in the fine arts. I was a substitute for Austin ISD for 2 years, working in every elementary grade level. During that time, I gained experience working with students with special behavioral and learning needs. I then went on to teach middle school theatre for 2 years. I have been an instructor with Danzversity Studio since 2017 and am currently teaching toddlers and youth ballet at the Tutu School. I also have experience teaching kids yoga! If you select me, you can guarantee your kids will have mindful, creative engagement and be in the care of someone who truly seeks to understand and mentor them!

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"
Natalie O., mom of five

"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
