Hi, I’m Wendy! I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with ADHD and Autism. I have a strong understanding of RIE teaching methods, which help foster independence, confidence, and a nurturing environment for children to thrive. Originally from Los Angeles, I went to school for Business but my true passion has always been working with kids. I love incorporating outdoor activities, art, and cooking into my babysitting style to create engaging and fun experiences. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for every child I care for. I’m also a big dog lover, so pets are always a welcome part of the experience! I’d love to connect with your family—feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hi! My name is Emily and I am back on Urban Sitter after a hiatus due to a heavy travel schedule and working corporate. Im excited to connect with new families! I am best for occasional bookings like date night, random school nights etc. I require a four hour minimum (unless I have applied to a listing that displays otherwise). I have connected with several families through Urban Sitter over the years (see my reviews!) and am looking forward to being considered for your next booking.
**summer availability*** Hello UrbanSitter families (: My names Ana (: I am currently working as a substitute teacher for preschool, elementary, middle school and some special education/inclusion classrooms. I have previously worked with infants and toddlers (0-3) as an early interventionist/child development specialist. So I have lots of experience with children of all ages & developmental levels (: I’ve also worked with summer programs, volunteered in children’s hospitals & have babysat professionally for 10+ years.

Special skills include arts & crafts, sports, games, hiking, homework help, dancing & singing (warning: not that great at the singing part) LOVE dogs, open to cats & other pets. I have my own fur child, Otis. As for availability, Being a substitute I don’t always know my exact location or end time. For the most part it’s M-F, end times vary from 2:45pm to 4pm. Depending on the distance from the school to home, I wouldn’t be able to give exact weekday evening availability. Weekends are typically open (: *CURRENTLY NOT TAKING JOBS WHERE USING OWN CAR TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN *CPR & First Aid trained **Vaccinated and Boosted
Hi! I’m Fatima 😊 I have tons of experience babysitting, I started caring for kids when I was around 15/16, and it quickly became something I genuinely love. Childcare has always felt natural to me. I’m reliable, patient, communicative, and really good at balancing fun with structure. I’ve completed college credits in Child Development, worked as a preschool teacher, and in an after school program with middle school students. I also have experience as a Behavioral Therapist for children with special needs, which strengthened my skills in adapting to each child’s unique needs, supporting routines, and staying calm in challenging moments. I love the chance to support your family. Thank you for checking out my profile I’d be happy to bring a mix of fun, learning, and care to your little one’s day! 💛
Professional experience includes: 6 years in personal nannying, 10 years in childcare, and 12 years in teaching dance for children. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers. College graduate and certificate in ASL interpreting and childhood development. CPR Certified. I can provide references! I enjoy caring for others, lightening the mental and physical load of everyday life, and treating your little one the way you would want them to be treated. My responsibilities have included: keeping a steady sleep/feeding schedule and bedtime routine, encouraging developmentally appropriate milestones, driving to/from school and after-school activities, and in-home tutoring. I have volunteered at a local organization for infant and toddler care for 5 years, worked in daycare at family camps for elementary school ages for 5 years, and worked with kids with special needs.
“Sarah is the best! She has worked for us for the past two years and has been such an important part of life for our family. She has everything a parent might wish for in a babysitter. She is very responsible, makes good decisions and communicates very clearly. My kid adores spending time with her because she is so playful and creative, always making up fun games and always following his lead. Sarah is very adept though at holding good boundaries, finding teachable moments and creative ways to handle any of my kids more challenging behavior. I could go on and on...... if you are here looking at her profile, you are lucky and have found a real gem!”
