Hello, I am a fun, loving and energetic person who enjoys working with children. I am a Kindergarten teacher who loves what she does! I have a ton of experience working with all different ages. I also have worked for a few different day care centers and have 9+ years experience working with children with ages ranging from 6 weeks old to 12 years old. I love using my creative outlook to make learning fun and enjoyable for kids. I also love playing games and interacting on a personal level with all children. I have a 3 year old I would like to bring with me on jobs as well.
“Super appreciated the care Emily provided our 18 month old. Our daughter has had very, very few babysitters and Emily was kind and warm, played with her and easily rolled with it when our gal got upset. Thank you, Emily, for your patience and care! ”

I’m a current CNA who was licensed six years ago. I’m also a student in the RN program. Additionally, I’ve been working as a substitute Para Educator at schools from elementary to high school. Since the New Year of 2024, I’ve gained valuable experience and was promoted to an official unlicensed Behavioral Technician. Growing up in a family of seven, with myself being the second oldest, I had ample experience babysitting my siblings. I’ve also nannied for friends and family for quite some time now. I decided to give UrbanSitter a try because my job as a behavioral technician won’t be necessary during the summer when kids won’t be in school, and I’ll still be available as a substitute. Therefore, I’m happy to take on a few nanny jobs here and there. I believe that as I progress in my experience as a CNA and BT, this will also be beneficial for my growth.
“Our family loves working with Elina. She was very helpful and caring with our kids. She helped with playtime, cleanup, dinner, story time, brush teeth, bedtime, and just relaxing time. We are seeing her on a regular basis.”

"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."
