Hi my name is Rebecca! I currently nanny for a family after school so my afternoons and evenings are usually booked. I am looking for a family to work with in the mornings through early afternoon as well as Friday and weekend babysitting opportunities! I have 11+ years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and teens. I’ve worked as a teacher in infant–pre-K classrooms and as a nanny for various families. Most recently, I’ve cared for children ages 1–4 and 6–9, with additional infant and teen experience. I love getting on a child’s level and learning through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. I have experience with Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf-inspired approaches and enjoy outings, parks, and activities that encourage discovery. Safety is my top priority. I’m calm, kind, patient, and attentive, with a focus on social-emotional development and age-appropriate boundaries. I have experience with neurodivergent children and adapt my approach to each child’s individual needs. I value open communication and working closely with parents as a team. I’m seeking a long-term morning position ending by 1:30 PM. For positions over one month, I require payroll.

I have always babysat and loved it. I mostly did family friends and neighbors but had work with people that I just met, too. I am too soft for my own good. It is good for the kids though. I have done services ranging from babysitting to cleaning houses. I always do my best to ensure a good experience to the one I’m caring for. I do love babies specifically and hope to get more experience with newborns.

Hello families of UrbanSitter! My name is Banessa, I’m a current Premedical student and also the oldest sibling out of four, I’d say being the oldest has made me the experienced and responsible caregiver I am today. I have worked with families in dental care for over six years and enjoy being around kids. On my free time, I enjoy gardening, oil-painting, volunteering, and spending time with family.    
I'm skilled in creating fun, engaging, and educational activities! My passion has always been helping others, I’m excited to be a part of your little one's journey, and look forward to meeting your family very soon. Best, Banessa O

Hello UrbanSitter Families! I'm not the greatest at introductions but I promise I'm far better in-person with families and kids. Combined, I have now over 15 years of experience working with families. In fact, there has not really been a time where I have ever stopped working with families! I have professionally managed events, conferences, and weddings for a good chunk of my career before transitioning to academic research and law. Outside of this platform, I work privately in law, with content management, and coach public speaking. I took a break from UrbanSitter for several years for grad schools. Now, I mostly use UrbanSitter to help with occasional date night, wedding, and events request. Would love to work with you and your family!
