Hello families! I am a new user of UrbanSitter so allow me introduce myself: My name is Maria, I am from Colombia, and I am studying biology on a pre-medical track! I have been in childcare since the age of 14 when I would help out at a family member’s daycare during the summer. Since then, I have worked with various families with children of all ages and needs as well as having been a camp counselor for 6th grade girls! I am a native Spanish speaker, love arts & crafts, going to the park, and cooking. I am also an EMT and CPR certified at the BLS level.
“Maria was great. She arrived on-time, played with the kids (3 of them), helped with their bedtime routine and as an added bonus cleaned the kitchen. I highly recommend Maria for your babysitting needs. ”

Hello, I am a 33 year old professional in the nonprofit sector. However, I have many years of experience working with kids. I have worked at YMCA afterschool programs, substitute teaching, as a professional, helped with remote learning, worked at summer camps as a counselor, and have facilitated college preparation workshops for children in grades 7-12. I have a Masters in Public Administration and a bachelors in Public Communication. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the city, being outside, running and hiking and trying new food! I work full-time during the week, so I am looking for some evenings and weekends.

"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."
