Hi! I'm Raniah, a dedicated caregiver in Lakewood with over 6 years of experience. Whether it's caring for a newborn, keeping up with a toddler, or helping school-age kids with their evening routine, I bring the patience and reliability that only a mom of four can offer. What I Bring to Your Family: • Experience: Years of daycare experience and hands-on parenting. • Safety First: I have years of hands-on experience as a mother and daycare provider. I am currently looking for the right CPR/First Aid certification course to join and plan to be certified very soon. Non-smoker and non-drinker. I don't just "watch" kids-l love to stay active with them through outdoor play, reading, and creative projects. I have a reliable vehicle and am available for school pick-ups, activity drop-offs, and errands. I am looking for part-time or occasional roles where I can truly support a family's needs. My rate is $25/hr, reflecting my extensive experience and ability to provide high-quality care. I’d love to connect and see if I’m the right fit for your home!

“Raniah was wonderful, super comfortable and warm with the kids, prompt, tidied up, and more. We will definitely work with Raniah again!”

Hi – I’m Jen! I am a young professional working for a local insurance brokerage firm doing Health & Benefits Consulting for companies. I am looking for a fun way to earn some extra money. I love kids and decided to try Urban Sitter. I grew up with a younger brother & sister (twins), as well as many younger cousins. My first job was babysitting family and neighbors. In high school I became a nanny for 3 elementary aged girls. My most recent experience has been with newborns/toddlers. I have a 6 year old niece and a 3 year old nephew, who I am very close with (they would give me rave reviews). I also have friends who are new parents. I enjoy playing with kids, doing crafts, being creative and if the weather is nice heading outdoors. I would be more than happy to help with homework and/or tutoring as well. I look forward to meeting you and your kids! ***Depending on location/date/time I may require a minimum of 4 hours for bookings. Thank you in advance for your understanding!***

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.”
