Sophie Sugar Land
$14 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophie and I’m a senior in high school with a few years of babysitting experience, starting my freshman year caring for children of family friends and teachers. I’ve worked with a wide range of ages, from infants as young as 9 months old to teens up to 13, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m very hands-on and love keeping kids engaged, active, and having fun!! Whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or coming up with creative activities. I always try to create a positive and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and excited to spend time together. I’m responsible, dependable, and patient, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their kids with someone they trust. I’m also good at balancing fun with structure, making sure routines, rules, and any instructions you leave are followed. Overall, I genuinely enjoy working with kids and building connections with them, and I always aim to make babysitting a fun and positive experience for everyone! Please reach out!

"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."
