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.)

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.”

Hii! I’m Jasmine. I’m 28 years old and some would call me the child whisperer. I worked for preschools with all ages from 2[removed] and babysat in my time off as well. From 2020-2024 I was a registered behavioral therapist working with kids that range from 2-10 years old. I have now split time as a middle school special education paraprofessional between APS & LPS since 2024. Kids have been my passion since high school, they give me such a spark that I never get tired of. While my main focus is child care I don’t mind a few pet favors here and there, I love dogs! I also don’t mind a little cleaning around the house. I mostly do this because I believe all parents deserve a fun night out! Enough of the chit chat though, hit me up anytime if you would like to get to know me better and I hope to hear from you soon!

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.”

I have over seven years of professional childcare experience and hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have worked extensively with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, providing attentive, developmentally appropriate care tailored to each child’s individual needs. My experience includes supporting early developmental milestones, establishing consistent routines, and creating engaging educational activities that promote cognitive, social, and emotional growth. I am well-versed in infant care, including feeding, diapering, sleep routines, and tummy time, toddler care such as potty training, language development, and guided play, and school-age care including homework support, structured activities, and age-appropriate responsibility building. Throughout my career, I have prioritized safety, nurturing relationships, and positive guidance. I maintain open and professional communication with parents, offering regular updates on progress, behavior, and milestones. I am dependable, organized, and committed to creating a supportive environment where children can thrive.
