Emily $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emily and Ive been working in educational childcare since 2018 with a focus on children with intellectual and physical disabilities. Im going to USF for speech pathology and would love to babysit for your family. I am CPR trained. I do my best to avoid screen time and will opt for low stimulation shows when possible! I have my own car and no speeding tickets, so Im willing to help with pick up and drop off or any other driving based errands. I love to read, paint, and try new recipes and would love to share that in an age appropriate way, especially with themed arts and crafts options! I grew up going to Montessori schools so that philosophy is very important to me. Please let me know if you are interested and I am flexible on pricing!

Alisha $22 per hour for 1 child

As a mother of a 21-year-old son now in college, I bring over two decades of hands-on experience in parenting, caregiving, and supporting children’s growth and development. Throughout my son’s childhood, I was actively involved in his school community as a “team mom,” field trip chaperone, classroom volunteer, and consistent presence at school and extracurricular events. Before and after my son’s birth, I worked with school-age children and daycare programs on military bases in Florida and New Mexico. I also have extensive experience providing babysitting support for families and friends, stepping in for both regular care and occasional coverage when needed. As a parent, I understand the importance of structure, consistency, and attention to individual household routines. I’m mindful of dietary needs, preferences, and any family-specific guidelines, and I always aim to create a balance between fun and structure while respecting each family’s expectations. I recognize that every household operates differently and adjust my approach accordingly. Parenthood has also taught me flexibility and calm problem-solving. I’m comfortable handling unexpected situations with patience and responsibility, addressing minor issues independently while keeping parents informed when something requires their attention. I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a focus on child and adolescent development, which strengthens my understanding of behavior, communication, and age-appropriate engagement. I genuinely enjoy working with children, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and positive interactions in a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.

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

“Tamara was wonderful with our 5-month-old. She was engaged and attentive the whole time, followed our routines, communicated clearly, and was right on time. It was our first time hiring a babysitter and she made us feel at ease. We will definitely book her again. Highly recommend!”

Booked by 2 families in Seminole, FL

Hello! I am currently studying for medical school and am working as a scribe full-time, but am looking for some extra work hours. I recently graduated from USF with a Master’s degree in public health. I have my BS in psychology/pre-med from Northwestern University. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old when I received my safe sitter license. I am certified in CPR as a certified nursing assistant and lifeguard. I have watched children of all ages and abilities, and really value all that I have learned from them. Outside of watching children, I have skills in communication, cooking, tutoring, and cleaning.

Dayana $17 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring and responsible childcare provider with professional experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), specializing in working with children with autism and special needs. While I have not worked formally as a nanny, I am also a mother, which has given me hands-on experience in daily childcare, safety, and child development. I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, so I am available for afternoon, evening, and weekend childcare. I focus on supporting positive behavior, routine building, and developmental skills using structured and supportive strategies when needed. I am patient, reliable, and deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children.
