Hi! My name is Brenai. I am 27 years old. I have a social work degree. I have studied the development of children from newborns to middle school aged. I have 7 years plus working with children as well. I am first aid/CPR certified. I am very reliable, dependable, responsible, and eager to learn. I am always on call! I have my own transportation. I am willing to help with household chore, I love pets! I am open to teaching different skills. I also speak Spanish fluently.
Welcome! My name is Velvet, and I am a 28-year-old residing in the vibrant Easton Park area of southeast Austin. With a bachelor's degree in Family Studies & Child Development, I bring over a decade of extensive experience working with children to the table. My journey began as a preschool gymnastics coach, transitioning seamlessly into a role as a dedicated preschool teacher. For the past eight years, I have immersed myself in the professional nanny and in-home childcare industry, where I've honed my skills and expertise. My passion lies in child development, and I am committed to implementing developmentally appropriate practices in all aspects of my work. I take delight in organizing engaging outings to parks, playgrounds, The Thinkery, and other enriching locations across Austin. Above all, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure and supported. Tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each family I work with is my top priority. My ultimate goal is to cultivate positive and enduring relationships with the families I have the privilege of serving. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and your family, fostering growth, learning, and unforgettable memories along the way.
“Velvet is amazing! Definitely will use her again- my kids loved her.”
I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys helping families and creating a safe, comfortable environment for children. I’m dependable, organized, and attentive, while still being fun and easygoing. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, meals, homework, playtime, and keeping things tidy around the home. I’m also good at following instructions and adjusting to each family’s preferences and routines. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident about who they’re leaving their children with, so I take communication, safety, and reliability seriously. I’d love the opportunity to support a family and make their day a little easier.
Hi, I’m Lizzie! I’ve been babysitting since high school, and my passion for working with children has only grown over the years. I’m currently working toward a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I love expanding my knowledge and skills to help children thrive. My career in childcare began at a nonprofit organization for deaf children called No Limits, where I gained valuable experience supporting diverse learning needs. That role inspired me to become a preschool teacher at Primrose School, where I worked with 3-year-olds and deepened my love for early childhood education. Most recently, I nannied for two infants in a nanny share until they began daycare. Along with babysitting, I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage early learning and development. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children of all ages. I’m currently available for date nights, backup care, and part-time positions, and I look forward to connecting with new families!
Hi, I’m Zoe! I am currently a stay at home mom. My days are filled with cooking, cleaning, library/ park trips, walks, naps, developmental play, family time and so much more. I love caring for my son and building a childhood for him that he will look back on fondly. I believe in treating children with kindness and respect, encouraging their curiosity, and making them feel safe, heard, and loved. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids as they learn and explore the world around them. I’d be happy to help with everyday household tasks and keeping things tidy. I know how busy life with children can be, and I’d love to help make a family’s day a little easier. I am looking for a family that would be comfortable with me occasionally bringing my now 11 month old baby with me!
“We absolutely love Zoe and feel so lucky to have found her! She watches our three kids (11, 9, and 17 months) weekly and does such a wonderful job balancing the needs of all three of them. She brings her own 11-month-old, and our toddler loves having a playmate! She is fun, playful, dependable, and communicative. She is always on time (if not early), has never canceled, and gives us so much peace of mind knowing our kids are in such good hands. She also goes above and beyond by cooking, tidying up, and keeping everyone on their routines and schedules!! We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

"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."
