Hello! My name is Sierra, and I am a preschool teacher for a local school district! Along with that comes all the certifications (CPR/AED, First Aid, Safe Sleep, and so many more!). I am looking to pick up some babysitting jobs, as I love caring for kiddos of all ages! Feel free to reach out ☺️
Hi there! I am a mother of an outgoing 16 year old daughter and a sweet little 10 year old boy who live out of state with their dad so I am able to help on my free time for other children. I love kids and have the personal experience to back it up as well. I am outgoing and fun but also very much keep a routine and schedule and feel it’s important for kids as well. So whatever your needs are, I’d be happy to meet the most important little ones in your world and take care of them as if they were my own. I also have dog and cat care experience as I’ve grown up around them and also have a sweet loving cat of my own now. I’m the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends as well because I love animals and welcome the opportunity to give love and attention to them but also am very responsible and make sure any particular needs are met such as giving medication on time or special food requirements or anything else our furry children may need! Bonus!! I am extremely organized and like things to be kept clean!
I have worked as a babysitter, pet care, and senior care for about 10 years. All of my experiences and families I worked for were in California. I have experience with children at all ages but prefer to work with older children. I am a loving and caring person. I have great references. I can provide services such as groceries shopping and cooking. I love interacting with children and do my best to be present and help them with their development.
Hello! My name is Tierney, and I have been working with children for over 5 years now. I am also the oldest of 5 siblings and have a huge family, so kids have always been around. I love working with kiddos and helping as many families as possible. I have a lot of patience and a calm, gentle nature that I believe creates a nurturing environment ☺️. I currently work at a childcare facility in Elkhorn as a Lead Two-Year-Old Teacher. I’m looking for other opportunities during my free time after work! I have worked with children ranging from 6 weeks to about 10 years old. I have the most experience with babies and toddlers, but I get along well with children of all ages! I also have my CPR and First Aid certifications. I am more than willing to cook and do simple household chores if needed. I love arts and crafts, especially setting up fun activities for kids! Cats and dogs are no problem for me, I will add.
I have several years of experience caring for children of 1 year old and up. My background includes babysitting for local families in my hometown, volunteer in youth programs, and mentoring middle school students who want to pursue STEM. I am also trained in basic first aid and have taken a CPR class. I am extremely patient, responsible, dependable, and tidy. As a babysitter I would rather find creative activities for the kids to do such as arts and crafts, baking, and outdoor time rather than turning on the tv. I make sure to follow all routines parents provide. As a babysitter I have the ability to balance fun with structure.
All UrbanSitter babysitters are background checked every year. Profiles are individually reviewed by our Trust and Safety team.
"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."
