Hello! My name is Emily. I am a pediatric speech therapist. I love children and have worked with kids of all ages throughout my life in varying roles from nanny to therapist. I decided to become a sitter because in therapy, my time working with a child was typically limited to a 30-minute timeframe; additionally, more of my time was spent writing lengthy justifications for insurance companies than working with the child. The reason I chose to work with children is that I enjoy them! And I want to spend time with them, engaging them on all levels. I was a single parent (until my daughter was 10 years of age) before meeting my amazing husband who I've now been married to for 24 years! Although we have become empty-nesters, I remember the challenges that come with parenting, and I have extreme gratitude for those who supported me through the years with their time, love, and encouragement. P.S. I now have a grandson and granddaughter who are the apples of my eye (I promise, it is the best role ever)! From my early years of caring for younger siblings and/or cousins, baby-sitting, and eventually enjoying my friend’s kids, I have always had an innate talent for meeting kids where they are...for seeing their needs and their talents and helping, listening, and encouraging them in their daily activities and/or struggles. I believe children need to feel loved, heard, challenged, and inspired, and that is one of my greatest desires. Plainly said, I have a huge heart for children and feel a strong calling to help them become their very best selves. I have a background in music (vocal performance) and love to implement music throughout my daily life. I also enjoy animals, baking, arts and crafts, reading, bird-watching, and spending time outdoors (especially anything water-related). I like routines, I am a neatnik (although I appreciate a good mess in the name of adventure), I choose creativity over screen-time, and I am a stickler for good manners and respect for others.
“Emily is incredible!! So kind and warm and genuine. My son is picky about who he likes and he LOVED her. They made paper airplanes, swam , dance party...he didn't even care that I left he was having such a great time.”

Hi! My name is Bella and I’ve been babysitting since I was 16. I have several years of experience caring for children and I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow in a safe and supportive environment. I’m CPR certified, have my own reliable transportation, and am happy to drive children to and from school, activities, or playdates. I can help with homework as needed. I’m also comfortable taking care of pets (especially dogs!) and can help with light housework or tidying up as needed as well as running errands. Currently, I’m doing college online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available when families need me most. I’d be honored to support your family and create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your child. Looking forward to meeting your family and seeing how I can help!

Hello! My name is Raquel. I have experience working for families with three and one child, between seven months and four years. I love working with kids and I am very patient and sweet with them. I enjoy playing and performing indoor and outdoor activities. I am a Spanish speaker, so that I can teach them. I also have experience working with Seniors with Dementia, and I consider myself a loving caregiver. I have experience preparing light meals, feeding them, doing outdoor activities such as walking around the park and neighborhood, and administering medication according to the doctor's prescription. I enjoy nature (parks and rivers), and I like to listen to music and dance. I am a respectful and trustworthy person.
“Raquel was fantastic with my two toddlers! She was on time, engaged, energetic, and cleaned up after kiddos activities. I would not hesitate recommending Raquel to other parents!”

"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."
