Caring for others has always come naturally to me. Whether it’s looking after kids, helping seniors feel supported, or making sure pets feel loved, I believe everyone deserves kindness and patience. I’m dependable, attentive, and great at creating a warm, safe environment. I also enjoy keeping things organized, preparing meals, cleaning, and making daily life a little easier. Most of all, I love building real connections and making people feel valued, comfortable, and cared for.
I am a dependable school teacher currently off for the summer with experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I am patient, organized, and enjoy creating a safe, positive environment for kids of all ages. I also have experience as a nurse’s aide and am comfortable assisting elderly individuals as well as children and adults with disabilities. In addition to childcare and caregiving, I have experience with pet care and am available for pet sitting and house sitting. Families can count on me to be responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate while providing quality care tailored to individual needs.
Hi! My name is Kate! I am a passionate, loving, and outgoing person. I love to be outside, spend time with friends and family, and swimming. I have a lot of experience in child and animal care. My first experiences included working at summer camps and church camps with kids. Since then, I have been babysitting on and off for about 3 years. I have cared for kids and animals all shapes and sizes, I love them all! I am a great candidate to care for your kids and animals because I am very loving and always try to help the kids be comfortable and have a fun time!
I’ve been babysitting for families since 2013. My love for caring for kiddos with special needs began in 2019 at Texas Lions Camp as a camp counselor. I've worked with Epilepsy, Physical Disabilities, life threatening diseases, as well as intellectual disabilities across the board. I have been a Behavioral Therapist for 2 years now and I love it!! One thing you should know about me is kids are my deepest passion and I long to make a difference in their lives. My skills include Behavioral Therapy Cooking Cleaning Child Safety & Medical Care
Hello! My name is Anna and I'd love to be your weeknight and weekend sitter. I have 9 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I do my best to provide a fun time when I'm with your kids while also making sure that all of your rules and routines are followed too. My disciplinary methods for younger children (toddler age to 4, 5 years old) involve distraction and explaining why something isn't allowed. I always want kids to understand why rules are in place and why they need to be followed if they ask. For older kids (6 + years old) I prefer using positive reinforcement, giving them a treat when they do well, over negative reinforcement, taking away something they already have, because I find the carrot works much better than the stick, so to speak. I am flexible in accommodating to whatever methods of discipline you use for your children while I am babysitting them. I love babysitting because it helps bring out my inner kid and play with kids and teach them what I know! Kids are very curious, and I love answering their questions about how things work. Working with kids helps me to be a more nurturing and patient person, and I love engaging with and playing with kids while I'm watching them. I'll monkey around on the playground with them, play hide and seek, Monsters, Lava, etc. because I enjoy myself and love feeling like a kid again. One of my favorite activities to do with kids is to take them to the park if it's still light outside. I find that it's very easy to have kids sucked into screen time because it provides easy distractions for them, and I prefer for kids to not have too much screen time while I'm with them. I love playing games with kids, and especially love reading to them. They love the character voices I make while reading to them! I have had pets my whole life: dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens alike, and am happy to work with all pets. I am happy to do light housework when the kids are asleep or when there is down time. I know being a parent is hard work, so coming home to a clean house is always a nice feeling, and I'm happy to help when there is time for that.

"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."
