Hi there! I work as a case manager serving children and adults with disabilities. I have 15 years of experience working in various settings (nannying, healthcare, schools) with children ranging in age from infants to teens. I enjoy building rapport with children and supporting their development through play. I believe that children I care for see me as a fun, patient, supportive, trustworthy, and loving person. More about me: - I have 7 years of experience working with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities  - I am a certified child life specialist, certified nursing assistant and certified behavioral technician - I have experience with medication administration and G-tube feedings - I earned my bachelor's degree in social work and master's degree in child life - I have basic skills in speaking spanish and ASL - Some of my favorite activities with children are doing arts and crafts, playing games, and spending time outside

Hi there, My name is Karsyn and I look forward to connecting with you! Months ago I quit my tech job to start a small business and while it's been lovely, my husband and I decided we need more cash coming in while I build it out. I have years of babysitting experience, with a full year using this app in the past so you can check out my reviews! I am 33, very professional, mature and willing to go the extra mile to ensure you feel like your child is in good hands. I enjoy children very much and after realizing I needed a part-time job, I decided this was the route I was most excited about! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Talk soon!

“Karsyn is awesome!”

Hi I'm Katie, I would consider myself to be a trustworthy sitter that you can depend on. Im a registered behavior technician (RBT) but I do not provide ABA services outside of a clinic, just able to babysit children with autism. I am also current CPR/1st aid certified. I love animals and have a few of my own. I am willing to provide light housekeeping, laundry, prep made meals, cook, and provide transportation.

“Very engaging with our 3.5 year old.”

HI! I have a Masters degree in Social work and retired from being a social worker for 30+ years during covid, including with youth. I have been a contract nanny for a 13 month old and 5 yr old (about 15 years ago). I volunteer for an outdoor nature camp with 5-9 year olds. Love to do art, music, movement, singing, silliness and play. I have been doing house and petsitting for the past 3 years, not active with urbansitter much. (note: I got a low review from a one time sitting job who wanted me to come when she was highly contagious with what seemed to be norovirus.)

I am nineteen years old, looking for new experiences. I am a funny, sweet, opening, kind human. The main reason why I want to start helping with kids is because I wanna be part of helping a new generation grow. I've had a lot of experiences that no others should live through, so if I have a chance to help with other I would love to. I have been babysitting for over five years. First starting with my sisters kids and then going to other families. I have experience with kids from ages newborn to twelve year olds, I worked with kids with adhd, autism, anger issues and kids with trauma. I have CPR certifications and first aid training.

“She did a great job with the kids. Fed them dinner and put them to bed smoothly. I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
