Hi, I’m Keira! I’m a college student who loves working with kids and creating a fun, safe environment. I’m patient, responsible, and have lots of experience babysitting, helping with homework, and keeping kids engaged with activities. I’m also great with pets and happy to help with them too.
Hello! I am a responsible, patient, nurturing, and dependable individual who genuinely enjoys creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids. Not only did I grow up taking care of my younger cousins & nephew, but I have been babysitting for the past 6 years. I also have experience mentoring elementary school students in underserved communities, which has strengthened my communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
Hi! My name is Arial and I currently work from home part time which gives me plenty of availability to provide reliable and attentive childcare. I went to college for engineering and grew up playing the violin, soccer and cheer so I can help out and apply skills in different ways! I have hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. I have helped watch and raise my best friend’s two children since they were born; they are now 4 and 5 years old. Throughout college, I also cared for a 9-year-old, including picking her up from school, taking her to the park, preparing meals, and helping keep the home tidy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I’m comfortable helping with daily routines and light household tasks related to child care. I am comfortable working with families who have dogs (I have a small very kind and friendly dog myself).
Hi! I’m Luyanda, a reliable and caring caregiver from South Africa currently living in Houston, Texas. I have experience as a full-time au pair caring for a toddler, helping with daily routines, meal preparation, educational play, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’m patient, responsible, organized, and enjoy working with children. I also offer light housekeeping, pet care, meal preparation, laundry, and running errands. I speak English and several South African languages, making it easy to connect with families from diverse backgrounds. I look forward to providing dependable, compassionate care and becoming someone your family can trust.
Hi! I'm Allyson Jo, or more commonly known as Ally Jo and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children ranging from infants to teenagers. I am CPR and First Aid certified and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. My childcare experience includes multiple long-term nanny positions. I cared for a family with a 5 year old boy and 2 year old boy while also helping care for their dog. I also spent two years nannying for a family with a 6 year old girl and a 6 month old boy, along with their cat. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and building strong relationships with both children and parents! In addition to my freelance nannying, I am a high school volleyball coach, which has strengthened my leadership, communication, and mentoring skills. I am also currently studying sociology in college, where I enjoy learning about human behavior, relationships, and community. I also have three wonderful nephews (ages 3, 5, and 7) who keep me active and remind me how important creativity, energy, and kindness are when caring for children. Outside of childcare, I co-own a small business with my sister creating personalized hand-painted banners. Running our business has allowed me to express my creativity and develop strong organizational and communication skills. I love incorporating creativity into activities with children, whether that means arts and crafts, imaginative play, or fun hands-on projects. I'm a huge animal lover and previously worked at a doggy daycare, and regularly pet sit; so I'm very comfortable caring for pets alongside children. Whether it's helping with organizing activities, preparing meals, playing outdoors, or caring for family pets, I'm happy to support your family's needs. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and engaging, and I would love the opportunity to provide excellent care for your children and peace of mind for you.

"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."
