Hi, I'm Emily :) I'm 29 years old, and I work from home full time. I’ve babysat for 8+ years on and off and volunteered at VBS for 5+ years. I love working with kids and have experience with various ages.
“Emily was on time and very professional. She was a blast for the kids, who were literally chanting, "Emily is the best!" We will definitely be using her in the future! Mom tested and kid approved. ”
I have over 13 years of experience with ages from newborn up until 14 years of age. I have babysat for families in the DFW area and I am currently completing my fieldwork rotation at an outpatient pediatric clinic for my occupational therapy doctorate program.
Hi! I’m Saelish. I have experience working with children through Primrose and also babysitting for several families. I’m very reliable with routines like daycare pick-ups and always focus on making things feel calm, easy, and consistent for your child. I’m naturally attentive and patient, and I like to make sure kids feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while also keeping parents in the loop. I’d love to help support your family and make your day-to-day a little smoother!
Hi! My name is Emily, and I am a reliable, caring, and responsible babysitter who enjoys working with children of all ages. I strive to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and happy to help with activities such as homework, arts and crafts, games, meal preparation, and bedtime routines. I understand the importance of clear communication with parents and always prioritize children's safety and well-being. Whether you need occasional date-night care or regular babysitting support, I am committed to providing dependable care and making sure your children have a great experience. I look forward to helping your family!
I bring 5 years of hands-on childcare experience through babysitting, church nursery care, and youth volunteer work. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and AED, and I also teach swim lessons, which helps me stay calm, confident, and safety-focused in any situation. I’m currently working toward my B.S. in Child Development so I can continue building my career supporting children’s growth and development. Along with caring for kids, I also have a strong love for animals—especially dogs. I’m experienced with pet care, walking, feeding, and providing companionship, and I’m always happy to help families with their furry friends. I also enjoy supporting elderly individuals and have a natural patience and compassion that makes me great at offering company, help with small tasks, or just being a comforting presence. Whether I’m caring for children, pets, or older adults, I bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care into every home I’m welcomed into.

"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
