Rachel $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a reliable, nurturing caregiver with years of hands-on experience raising three children of my own, along with professional nannying experience. Most recently, I cared for an 11-month-old, supporting daily routines, feeding, naps, and developmental play. I’m patient, attentive, and very in tune with children’s emotional and physical needs. I love creating a safe, engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and feel supported. I’m comfortable with infants through older children, and I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and maintaining routines. My background in psychology also helps me understand behavior, communication, and emotional development, which I bring into my caregiving style. I genuinely enjoy building connections with both kids and parents, and I strive to be someone families can trust and rely on.

Renae $18 per hour for 1 child

Hey hey! I am a current college student, with a future in teaching. My experience with kids is primarily casual (non-professional), as I have babysat for my friends, coworkers, and neighbours— and spent some time in my church’s toddler nursery on Sundays. Professionally, I work customer facing jobs (server, barista, cashier), so families are commonly around me. Also, I was a teacher at the Boys and Girls Club (3rd grade). Babysitting is as serious and impactful as being a nanny or au pair. It is less time on a schedule, or less responsibilities around the house, but the children are still influenced. Being on the same page with the parents is, obviously, important; translating the parent’s rules to maintain the fun environment created for the children is equally important. People joke that toddlers/kids and Seniors are very similar. In a funny way, yes. In a serious way, also yes. Patience, fostering independence, maintaining schedules. Oh, and, listening to stories. Everyone has stories! If you’d like me to expand on anything from above, please reach out.

"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."
