Jasiya $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents, my name is of course Jasiya I am a college freshman currently doing my prerequisites for cardiovascular sonography. I love being a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they have that person to make them feel happy and cared for. I’m responsible and reliable, so parents can trust that I’ll always show up on time and handle everything smoothly. I pay attention to each child’s personality and needs, and I try to create a fun and engaging environment through games, crafts, reading, or just playful conversation. I stay calm and patient no matter what comes up, whether it’s a tantrum, a minor accident, or a disagreement between siblings. Safety is always my top priority, but I also make sure kids feel comfortable and confident exploring and having fun. I communicate openly with parents, sharing updates on how the kids are doing and any important details they should know. Overall, I see babysitting as more than just supervision, I try to be someone kids enjoy spending time with and parents can completely rely on, combining care, fun, and attentiveness in everything I do. I have been babysitting unpaid and paid for many years in various settings. I have babysat in churches, my home, others homes and even in shelters. I also started a business with a couple other friends in a babysitters club kind of way ! I hope all of this has shown that I am the perfect sitter for you, I hope to hear from you soon !

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 29 families in Mesquite, TX

Hello! I am a loving, playful, creative professional Ballerina, Early Childhood Educator, and Nanny. I have been a regular part time nanny for multiple families in NYC for the past 10 years and am in Dallas for a few weeks to work at the Opera. (I am actually still with a family that I met when I first joined Urbansitter- through the birth of their second child and a move!) I strive to provide a loving, peaceful environment, and to nurture all areas of development for these wonderful little humans. In addition to more than a decade of hands on experience, I have been trained in childhood development through movement with Dionne Kamara, and through sensory play with Jennie Monness at Union Square Play. I have since joined the staff there as a Lead Educator and a Co-Creator of the ‘Dance! Play! Ballet!’ curriculum. I base my approach to nannying on the Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and RIE philosophies that I have been exposed to and experienced in my work. I am Infant CPR/First Aid certified.

"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!"
