Hi! My name is Lexi and I’m a rising college junior in Nevada. I’m offering child care, pet care, and a few household services. I’ve been doing serious, paid babysitting with UrbanSitter since summer of 2024, but don’t let that scare you! I have babysat my little cousins and family friends’ kids many times before I started working with UrbanSitter. Since working with UrbanSitter, I’ve worked with a few families and repeat families. Therefore, I’ve been told that I’m great with kids of all ages. I love being around kids as they open up a whole new whirlwind of curiosity and possibilities. I’m pretty experienced in dog care as well, as I have a dog of my own! I love to play with her, take her on walks, and give her all that she needs to be cared for. I’m also open to household services like errands, laundry, and organizing. I’m super eager to work with your family!

For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to nurturing young minds and providing families with dependable childcare. My passion lies in fostering each child's unique growth and development, and I find joy in making a positive impact on their lives. I bring a patient, creative, and friendly approach to my care. I am comfortable caring for up to three children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am adept at following parents' lead on household rules and communication preferences, offering verbal updates at pickup and regular texts or calls. I enjoy engaging children with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am also happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. Ultimately, I strive to create a safe, fun, and enriching environment where your children can thrive, and I look forward to the opportunity to get to know your family!

Booked by 1 family in Sun Valley, NV

Hello! I’m Shanda, and caring for children has been my passion for many years. I have 36 college units in Early Childhood Education and have had the privilege of working with children of all ages—from preschool through high school—including children with special needs. Throughout my career I’ve served as a preschool director, worked in elementary, middle, and high school settings, coordinated large Vacation Bible School programs, and organized monthly respite nights for families of children with special needs, giving parents a chance to rest while their children enjoyed a safe, fun, and welcoming environment. Today I work for the local school district and also teach preschool part-time. While experience is important, I believe the heart behind the work matters just as much. I’ve always been drawn to children who need a little extra patience, encouragement, or someone who truly sees them. Whether a child is outgoing, shy, energetic, anxious, or simply having a difficult day, I strive to create a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe, respected, and valued. Families often describe me as patient, dependable, and kind. I enjoy reading stories, doing crafts, playing games, spending time outdoors, helping with homework, and encouraging children’s curiosity and confidence. My goal is for every child in my care to know they are important, capable, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, compassionate care for your children. “Some of the most meaningful relationships I’ve built have been with children others found challenging, because I believe every child deserves to be understood before they are judged.”
