Vallere $28 per hour for 1 child

I have three children of my own but they are older now. 😉I am an elementary teacher and enjoy being with kids. It would be great to enjoy littles outside of the school setting. I can be structured but also fun. I know how difficult it is to be a parent and I’d love to help you out with being with your littles. I enjoy being outdoors.

Rachel $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a compassionate and dependable sitter with daycare experience and a lifelong love for working with kids. I grew up helping care for my younger cousins, which taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of building strong relationships with children. As a graduate student close to finishing my Marriage and Family Therapy degree, I’m looking for small jobs to balance with my studies. I have experience working with children and teens and am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or just being a supportive presence, I’m here to make sure your kids are cared for and happy. I look forward to partnering with your family!

"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."
