I am a reliable, caring and responsible substitute teacher and mother with over 15 years of experience working with and supporting school-age children. I am comfortable helping with homework, daily routines, supervision, transportation and creating a safe and positive environment. I have experience working with children of different ages, personalities and needs. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience caring for animals. I have owned and cared for multiple dogs and have experience running a dog-walking business. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments, as well as cats and other pets. I also have a background in music, including piano and violin and speak multiple languages. I enjoy encouraging creativity, learning, confidence, and curiosity in children. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, organized, and easy to communicate with. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule.
For the past three years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I've worked in group homes, shelters and family homes. I’ve worked with children who have medical diagnosis and developmental delays. I am patient, calm, and structured. I'm happy to prepare meals, do housekeeping or run errands. I am very active and enjoy outdoor activities! I am certified in First Aid and CPR. I spent two years as an emergency medical technician and am very comfortable with tending to wounds, injuries or springing into action when needed. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I am bilingual (Spanish/English).
Over 20 years of pet care and pet owner. Currently no personal pets, sharing my love with other people's fur-babies. I'm a part time pharmacist and also take care of my aging grandmother.
“Kris is my go-to sitter for my dog, Bruno. She is always in tune with Bruno's needs and is really passionate about what she does. I have used Kris's services outside of Urban Sitter, so I am ecstatic that she has joined!”
I am a single mother of 3 grown kids. Two are away at college, the other is a HS Junior and is never home. I am basically an empty nester. I miss having young kids around and I am looking to make some extra money to help with expenses. I am available most evenings and weekends. I especially love babies and toddlers. I also have a dog and am comfortable with pets. I am also happy to assist with elderly for companionship as well as errands. I was an elementary school teacher as well as a pre-school teacher for many years. I changed careers yrs ago because as a single income household my teaching salary was not enough. I work in the financial services industry currently from 8-4 daily.
Hi! I’m Jenny, a friendly, dependable, and energetic caregiver located in Jacksonville, Florida. I’m a proud mom of two grown sons and a 12 year old rescue pit bull with over seven years of professional nanny experience, along with many years of hands-on parenting and household management experience. I have a naturally upbeat, outgoing personality and genuinely enjoy helping others. Whether I’m caring for children, spending time with pets, assisting seniors, or helping a busy family stay organized, I approach every job with patience, compassion, and a positive attitude. I’m CPR and BLS certified, organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable multitasking in busy households. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with errands, grocery shopping, transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, pet care, and general household organization. I’m currently looking for part-time, occasional, evening, and weekend opportunities. I have excellent references available upon request. I’m easygoing, reliable, and not afraid to jump in wherever help is needed. My goal is to make your life a little easier while providing dependable, quality care. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
