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!
Hi! My name is Jenevieve. I recently moved to the Austin area from California. I enjoy working with children and family pets and am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I am currently a preschool teacher in Round Rock, where I work with young children every day, helping them learn, grow, and develop through play, hands-on activities, and positive guidance. Before moving to Texas, I worked as a Nanny/Household Assistant for several wonderful families in California. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children. As a mother of two grown children, I understand the importance of providing dependable, loving care. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, crafts, reading, sensory activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, and transporting children to extracurricular activities. I also provided pet care for families while they were away on vacation. Whether you need an occasional babysitter, pet sitter, or an extra helping hand, I’d love the opportunity to support your family!
“We had a great experience using Jen as a sitter for our two girls. They took to her right away. She was happy to prepare dinner for them and got them to bed on time. She cleaned the kitchen and straightened up before we arrived home and that was a really nice touch. We will definitely hire again. Very kind and easy to work with. ”

Hello, my name is Nathalia I’m 28 years old and I’m from Brazil living in Austin. I take care of kids since 2017. In 2023 I decided to leave my country to start a new chapter as an Au Pair in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I took care of three sweet boys and two dogs for three years and worked for the same family during the whole program. Besides that I have many other different experience with childcare such as working in a daycare. I love how honest and genuine children can be. I enjoy take them out to parks, playgrounds, movie theaters, etc or just staying home doing something fun. I have done the Red Cross course and I have experience taking care of more than twenty children in the last seven years. I would love to get you know better so please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.

"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."
