Maria $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maria,and I’m excited to be a new member of UrbanSitter! I work at an orthodontic office during the week, where I have the joy of connecting with children of all ages and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. As a mom to my wonderful six-year-old daughter, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I bring that same level of care, patience, and attentiveness to every family I work with. We also have a sweet Norwich Terrier named Giuseppe, so I’m very comfortable around pets too! I look forward to getting to know your family!

Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sophia, a behavioral aide at a therapeutic day school who is passionate about supporting children’s growth, learning, and well-being. I’ve been babysitting and tutoring since I was 14 years old and have experience working with children of all ages, from newborns through teenagers. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a family assistant, helping with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, running errands, and caring for pets. I enjoy being a dependable extra set of hands and helping families keep their busy lives running smoothly. In my current full-time role, I work with elementary and middle school students who have a variety of learning disabilities and mental health challenges. This experience has made me especially comfortable working with neurodivergent children and supporting kids in educational settings. My strengths include creating consistent routines, planning fun and engaging activities, helping with homework and academics, and building positive, supportive relationships with children. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for your children!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
