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!”
Hi! I’m Junnie, originally from Roatan, Honduras, and a proud mom of two wonderful kids. Over the years, my little ones have made lasting friendships with other children I’ve cared for as a professional babysitter. I have 6 years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and older kids, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with errands, light cooking, and cleaning to help make your day a little easier—just let me know in advance so we can discuss these needs. Please note that all booked time will be charged, so be sure to schedule accordingly. I look forward to connecting with you!
Hi! I'm a certified teacher with a full time nanny job that ends at 4 daily. I'm great with children of all ages, and I have 4 older children of my own. I love doing art projects, playing games, swimming, being outside, and having lots of fun! I have excellent references, and I'm a very patient and loving caregiver! I am available for weekend and date night sitting only.
“Great experience with her last month for our multiple little ones. Will book again! ”
Hi there! I’m a responsible, caring sitter with experience babysitting throughout college and a genuine love for working with kids. I hold an undergraduate degree in elementary education and originally began my career in teaching, but made a career shift about 5 years ago and transitioned into the corporate world. I currently work full-time, but I’m available for date nights, evenings, and weekends and do my best to be flexible when I can. My background in education gives me a strong foundation in child development, structure, and engagement—whether that’s helping with homework, creating fun activities, or supporting consistent routines. Parents can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids. I’m excited to reconnect with babysitting families and provide trustworthy care whenever you need an extra set of hands!
“She was so good with Ethan, it was like they were friends, she is nice and very helpful ”

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
