Rhonda $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Rhonda! If you’re looking for someone who truly loves being around kids—you’ve found her 😊 I’m a trusted, experienced caregiver with a fingerprint clearance and a clean driving record. I’m also the owner of Sensory Celebrations, a local kids entertainment company that creates themed activity tables for birthdays, school events, and community festivals. There’s a good chance your little ones may have already played at my tables at Campbell Park, Oktoberfest, Halloween events, or the Bunnies & Bonnets Parade event! I bring that same playful, engaging energy into every babysitting experience. I don’t just “watch” kids—I connect with them, play with them, and create fun, hands-on moments that keep them happy and engaged (and give parents peace of mind). I’m also a proud grandma to three AMAZING grandchildren (two borns in 2025 and one in 2023), and I care for them often. Being part of their lives is one of my greatest joys. In addition, I serve in the nursery and toddler classrooms at my church, so I’m very comfortable with infants, toddlers, and young children of all personalities. What you can expect when I’m with your children: • Warm, attentive, and patient care • Engaging play (not screens unless you prefer it) • Safe, reliable, and responsible supervision • A natural ability to connect with kids of all ages Whether you need a few hours to run errands, a date night, or overnight care, I would love to support your family. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones! 💛 — Rhonda

Sydney $40 per hour for 1 child

✨ Hi Families! My name is Sydney, and I’m a career nanny and family assistant with over 5 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m currently represented through a staffing agency as I search for my next long-term family fit, but I’m also here on UrbanSitter because I genuinely love connecting with families and helping wherever I can in the meantime. I would describe myself as calm, warm, organized, and very hands-on. I love creating a home environment where kids feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves. Whether that’s helping with routines, planning fun activities, getting outside, helping with homework, or simply being an extra steady support for busy parents, I truly enjoy being someone families can rely on. Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with family assistant style tasks like meal prep, laundry, organization, errands, and keeping things running smoothly day-to-day. I’ve worked in long-term, travel, and rotational roles, so I’m very adaptable and comfortable in busy households. Outside of work, I love mountain biking, swimming, long-distance running, and rock climbing, and I naturally bring a very active and positive energy into my work with kids. 🤍 Right now I’m mainly looking for my next long-term fit, but I’m also open to temporary help, date nights, weekends, and short-term support for families who need an extra hand.

Maria 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Dedicated and reliable professional with experience in childcare for over 15 years , customer service, cooking, and housekeeping. Currently working as a Paraeducator, assisting teachers and supporting students’ learning and development. Skilled in providing high-quality care for children, preparing meals, maintaining clean and organized environments, and supporting families with daily routines. Known for being responsible, hardworking, and friendly, with a strong commitment to teamwork and excellent service.

“Maria cared for our daughter from the time she was just three months old until she started school. During those years, she proved to be exceptionally reliable, professional, and caring. She always arrived on time, communicated clearly, and showed genuine love and attention to my daughter needs. Maria was attentive to every detail, from feeding and diaper changes to engaging our daughter in age appropriate developmental activities that helped her grow and thrive. Her calm and nurturing personality created a safe, happy environment that gave us complete peace of mind. Maria treated our home and family with the utmost respect, and we always knew our daughter was in excellent hands. We were truly sad to see her go when our little one began school. I highly recommend Maria to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving caregiver. Jessica M.”
