Allison $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm Allison, a 25-year-old babysitter with 9 years of experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teens. I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive. Whether it's arts and crafts, outdoor play, story time, or homework help, I always aim to keep children engaged and happy. As an animal lover, I'm also comfortable around pets and happy to help care for them during my time with your family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, and I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive to each child's unique needs. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Hi! I’m Iisha. I’ve lived in Utah for most of my life, and I’m now raising my family here with my husband and our two school-aged children. I have a deep love for kids and truly enjoy spending quality time with them. I’m passionate about creating fun, engaging, and nurturing experiences for children. Some of my favorite activities include reading, arts and crafts, cooking, outdoor play, and outings to places like the library, zoo, or aquarium. I'm also very comfortable with daily routines like diaper changes, naps, feedings, and light household tasks. I’m happy to help with pets (both cats and dogs) and light errands as needed. Safety is a top priority for me—I am CPR certified and always focused on creating a safe, caring environment. I would love to support a family looking for a nurturing, reliable nanny to care for and connect with their little one(s) during the week!
“Highly recommend! Always shows up early but most importantly the kids love her. Great with keeping the kids engaged. Takes them on walks, makes meals, & cleans up! We never have to worry about the kids when Iisha is taking care of them!”

Booked by 1 family in Salt Lake City, UT
Hi my name is Hercy! I have experience taking care of kids between 6 months old to 10 years old. I took care of 3 beautiful girls for almost 3 years. Also I used to take care of a baby boy for 6 months, he was 5 months old then. I can take them to different activities. Also I love dogs so if you have one I will feel comfortable and happy as well around them. I speak Spanish so I can teach them some words if you want me to do it!
“Our boys loved hanging out with Hercy! They talked about all the fun things they did, from playing with toys to building things to going sledding. Hercy was also flexible when we were running late. Would definitely recommend Hercy!”

"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."
