Hello, My name is Anne-Elisabeth and I’m currently a sophomore at Austin Community College studying electrical engineering. I am offering child care and household services. I love working with children and have been babysitting kids within my local Cameroonian community here in Austin since I was 16 years old. I also have over 2 years of professional experience working in a daycare setting with infants, toddlers, and young kids. (Still working in daycare). My responsibilities have included managing daily routines, playing fun educational games, preparing meals, and keeping activities organized and engaging. I am also happy to help around the house with light housekeeping, tidying up, homework help, and meal prep. I am patient, dependable, and excited to provide a safe, positive environment for your family!
Hi! I’m Lizbeth. I have over two years of experience as a Medical Assistant in a pediatric clinic and I’m BLS certified. I currently also work as a Patient Care Technician at a hospital here in Austin, and I’ll be starting school for Surgical Technology soon. Caring for others is truly what I do every day. In pediatrics, I work closely with infants, toddlers, and children of all ages — helping them feel safe, calm, and comfortable. My medical background has trained me to be very attentive, patient, and quick to recognize when a child needs extra support or care. I’m happy to help with: • infant and toddler care • diaper changes and feedings • bedtime routines • meals and snacks • playtime, reading, and homework help • keeping things tidy after activities I’m calm, responsible, and very respectful of your home and your child’s routine. My goal is always for kids to feel comfortable and for parents to feel completely at peace while they’re away. I’m a great fit for: • date nights • evenings after school/daycare • weekend babysitting • families with infants or toddlers • last-minute bookings If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced with children, and medically trained, I’d love to help your family!
Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable babysitter with experience working with children of different ages. I previously work at a children’s advocacy center, where I supported children and families, and I’ve also volunteered in pediatrics. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I enjoy engaging children in creative activities, playing games, helping with routines, and making sure they feel supported and cared for. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and make your little ones feel safe, happy, and loved! 💐
Hello, my name is Carolyn. I have been a professional Nanny for the last 11 years. I have experience with all ages including premature infants and multiples. Loving, down to earth, dependable and nurturing, describes my personality. I love children and always have! I look forward to meeting you and your little ones.
Hi I'm Mo! I've been taking care of kids throughout my entire life. Being the 5th out of 17 grandkids on my dad's side and coming from a big family there were always babies and little kids around. I grew up on Long Island in NY, went to school and lived in Boston for 9 years and then had a 10 year adventure overseas in Australia. I've been back in the States and living in Austin since 2017. I had a long term part time nanny position in Australia for 2 children that lasted almost 8 years on and off. This included full time care for the children when their mother travelled including school drop off/pickup, meals, homework, extra curricular activities, household management, bath and bed time. I have had 3 nanny positions over the past few years for newborns. I have been teaching Pre-K for the last 2 1/2 years. We have 9-12 kids on any given day in the age range of 18 months-5 years old. I have also been pet sitting and house sitting for over 20 years on a regular basis. I'm currently finishing a nanny position for a wonderful family. I started taking care of their daughter last October 2025 when she was 1.5 months old. She will be going into full time daycare mid August, so I am looking for my next family to care for!

"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."
