I have over five years of experience working with children in both professional and personal settings. For five consecutive summers, I worked at my church’s summer camp, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging groups of children while their parents were at work. My role included organizing fun and educational activities, leading games, helping with crafts, preparing snacks, and ensuring each child felt safe, included, and cared for throughout the day. In addition to my camp experience, I’ve regularly babysat for families in my community, caring for children of various ages. I’m confident managing daily routines, including mealtimes, nap schedules, school pickups, and bedtime. I also assist with homework, encourage creative play, and maintain a calm, nurturing environment where kids can thrive. I’ve also been trusted by neighbors to care for their children and pets while they’re out of town. This has included feeding and walking pets, keeping routines consistent, light household tasks, and making sure the home stays tidy and secure. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and attentive. I genuinely enjoy building strong, positive relationships with kids and helping families feel supported. Caregiving isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I take pride in, and I always strive to go above and beyond to make sure children are happy, safe, and engaged.
I began working with infants, toddlers, and children at the age of 15 for a MDO program, I eventually became a nanny and worked at Texas lions camp with special needs children. I love being there to support individuality, independence, and creativity. My senior care experience comes from the 2 years I helped care for my great grandmother after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis when I was 14. My specialty as far as care is working with children with autism. I also have extensive experience with various disabilities after working at Texas lions camp doing 24/7 care for a summer. I was a live in nanny for a school age boy for 2 years. I worked as a nanny for 3 school age kids (ages 6-14) for a year. As a nanny I was responsible for school pick-ups, meal prep, errands, as well as general childcare.
Hi my name Is Deborah, I am a 25 year old mom of a 5 year old boy and 10m old girl (both have to come with me) both are well behaved. I have my own transportation and I am looking for a happy family to offer child care too while I go back to college to finish my nursing certification. I love being a care provider. I have 5+ years of experience with kids ranging from 0-17. I also have experience in special needs children’s care. I have worked with several families through the Urban Sitter app and I am excited to assist someone new! I love all animals, I grew up on a ranch with many animals and I am happy to accommodate any animals special treatment, diet, needs etc. I have little experience caring for senior citizens other than helping my own grandparents but I am happy to help in anyway! I also am willing to be a household assistant by helping run errands, cook , clean etc.
Hi – my name is Maria, I’m bilingual (Spanish & English) and I care for infants and toddlers. I have about two years of hands-on experience, including working in a daycare, and helping care for my younger sister and my nieces and nephews over the years. I am most comfortable with infants and toddlers and am familiar with daily routines like feeding, naps, diaper changes, and playtime. I enjoy simple, age-appropriate activities such as reading, music, sensory play, and getting kids outside for park time or neighborhood walks. I am calm, dependable, and attentive, and I am comfortable caring for more than one young child at a time. I also sometimes bring my 1-year-old with me to childcare roles, with family approval, and believe this can be a good fit for families with infants or toddlers.
“Maria arrived promptly and was very friendly. She engaged with my son and immediately created a connection. She drove my son to school, he arrived on time and she communicated with me along the way. Thanks Maria!”
Caring, energetic, compassionate and dedicated. Love working with kids of all ages. Have been working in the educational field for 5 years, 2 of them in the classroom. Studied developmental psychology in college and currently working towards getting certified to become a teacher.

"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."
