I have experience working with children of different ages, personalities and needs. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience caring for animals.

Over 20 years of pet care and pet owner. Currently no personal pets, sharing my love with other people's fur-babies. I'm a part time pharmacist and also take care of my aging grandmother.

“Kris is my go-to sitter for my dog, Bruno. She is always in tune with Bruno's needs and is really passionate about what she does. I have used Kris's services outside of Urban Sitter, so I am ecstatic that she has joined!”

Claudia $18 per hour for 1 child

I am a single mother of 3 grown kids. Two are away at college, the other is a HS Junior and is never home. I am basically an empty nester. I miss having young kids around and I am looking to make some extra money to help with expenses. I am available most evenings and weekends. I especially love babies and toddlers. I also have a dog and am comfortable with pets. I am also happy to assist with elderly for companionship as well as errands. I was an elementary school teacher as well as a pre-school teacher for many years. I changed careers yrs ago because as a single income household my teaching salary was not enough. I work in the financial services industry currently from 8-4 daily.

Jenny $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jenny, a friendly, dependable, and energetic caregiver located in Jacksonville, Florida. I’m a proud mom of two grown sons and a 12 year old rescue pit bull with over seven years of professional nanny experience, along with many years of hands-on parenting and household management experience. I have a naturally upbeat, outgoing personality and genuinely enjoy helping others. Whether I’m caring for children, spending time with pets, assisting seniors, or helping a busy family stay organized, I approach every job with patience, compassion, and a positive attitude. I’m CPR and BLS certified, organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable multitasking in busy households. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with errands, grocery shopping, transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, pet care, and general household organization. I’m currently looking for part-time, occasional, evening, and weekend opportunities. I have excellent references available upon request. I’m easygoing, reliable, and not afraid to jump in wherever help is needed. My goal is to make your life a little easier while providing dependable, quality care. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
