Brynn_Kathryn $16 per hour for 1 child

I have always loved kids, the imagination, the creativity, makes me feel young again! I grew up watching my little cousins since I was 12 so I’ve got experience with girls and boys. I have had no less than 4 pets growing up so I have lots of experience with animals, as well! I currently have a miniature dachshund, we got her after my boxer died so I do well with little to big dogs and I grew up with lots of cats, and I’ve watched birds before too!

Hello UrbanSitter Families! 💕 My name is Tamara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I’m 46 years old and have over 20 years of experience working with children from infancy through age 17. My professional background includes working as a Prevention Specialist, where I taught Interpersonal Cognitive Problem-Solving (ICPS) skills to preschool-aged children. I am also trauma-informed and have more than 15 years of experience working with high risk youth. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services and am passionate about helping children learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter, girls’ or guys night out, time to run errands, or simply some extra support for your family, I’m here to provide dependable, compassionate, and quality childcare you can feel confident about. I am also certified in Infant and Child First Aid and CPR, giving parents an added layer of peace of mind while their little ones are in my care. I would love to connect with your family, learn about your childcare needs, and hopefully become someone you can trust and rely on. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! 😊💗 — Tamara

$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Lutz, FL

I go to college at University of South Florida and I am in school to become an elementary teacher! When I was in middle school up to my sophomore year of high school I would volunteer at my old daycare and was a teacher assistant. I am very passionate about becoming a teacher and working with children is my favorite thing to do. I loved playing with and creating lesson plans for the younger children and it inspired me to become a teacher.

“Armani was a great sitter. She was communicative, caring and our little one said he had a great time with her. ”

Dina $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Dina 😊 I have several years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to elementary school. I previously worked in a daycare for 2 years, caring for children from infancy up to age 7, and I’ve continued babysitting regularly for families in my community. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and very hands-on — I love engaging with kids through play, creativity, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times. I also have experience in early childhood education and genuinely enjoy helping children learn and grow in a positive environment. Families would describe me as patient, energetic, and trustworthy. I take pride in creating a fun but safe space for your children while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to help your family — feel free to reach out! 💛
