Hi my name is Leah! I am a pediatric mental health nurse and working on obtaining my doctorate to become a nurse practitioner. As a pediatric nurse, I am adept at handling emergency situations and comfortable adapting to behavioral challenges. I have been working with children for over 10 years as a camp counselor and special ed aide in addition to as a nurse. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs to take on in my spare time and open to working on a semi consistent basis if I am a good fit for your family!
Hi! I’m Bella — a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have several years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from toddlers to tweens, and I bring patience, creativity, and calmness to every job. I’m dependable and comfortable working with pets too! I aim to create a nurturing, safe, and fun environment where your child feels seen, heard, and supported. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter or a reliable part-time helper, I’d love to be someone your family can count on.
Hello there! My name is Paloma and I have over 25 years of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I truly love working with all ages in a variety of settings. I worked professionally as an elementary school garden teacher and outdoor educator for many years, and as a nanny for many years as well. I am also the eldest of six siblings, who now have children of their own, so childcare just comes naturally to me. What is most important for me about working with kids is providing a loving space for them to have creative fun and develop a sense of connection. I’m good at everything from imaginative play to homework time to dinner and bed time. I especially love to get outside with kids. Back on Urban Sitter after some years away, always nice to help out here!
“Paloma took great care of our 7 mo old daughter, and was prompt, responsive and thoughtful. We’d work with her again!”
Hello! My name is Fernanda and I have more than 8 years of experience caring for children of different ages including infants and toddlers. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where children feel secure and supported. I have experience with diaper changes, feeding, nap routines, soothing babies, and engaging toddlers through age-appropriate activities such as reading, songs, sensory play, and interactive games. I am patient, attentive, and very reliable. I always follow each family’s instructions carefully and adapt to the child’s individual needs and routine. I am also available to help with light household tasks related to the children when needed. Families can feel confident that their children are in caring and responsible hands.
Fully vaccinated and boosted. I have many years of childcare experience, both teaching and nanny/babysitting. I especially enjoy working with infants and toddlers and supporting developmental growth in those early years. I love being outdoors and it certainly comes through when I am with kids! I especially like playing outside, going for walks, and observing nature. I also love a good book and am happy to read out loud to children. In my free time I enjoy yoga, rock climbing, hiking, and dancing. I am very creative and I like making crafts and drawing stories with children. My previous work experience includes teaching kids gardening, cooking, crafts, and wilderness skills.
“Alison was kind, pleasant, timely and attentive. We would be happy to have her watch our son again.”

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
