Joseph $17 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, diligent and efficient semi-retired senior citizen looking for people oriented part time employment. I am good with children as I raised one to be a responsible & self reliant adult. I helped care for a 90+ year old parent until his passing. I have had dogs/cats all my life and am an ASPCA senior provider. I am a stickler for neatness around the house & cooking is my hobby. I hope to hear from you soon.

Megan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Megan and I’m currently on summer break as a special education teacher in FCPS. I have a degree in Child Development & Family Studies with a minor in Special Education. I have been working with children since 2019 and can’t imagine doing anything else! I have experience with children of all ages and all abilities. I love planning activities and differentiating them for different skill levels so that no one is left out. Oh, I love all animals from fluffy to scaly too, so pets are not a problem!

Hello! I’m new to Urban Sitter, but have prior experience with families from SitterCity. References available upon request. I’m currently seeking part time positions while I transition careers.
