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!”
Hi everyone! My name is Christina. I have around 6 years of babysitting experience caring for children between the ages of 2 and 10, along with growing up helping care for my younger brother. I have always loved being around children, and I treat every child I care for with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own younger sibling. I strive to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where children feel supported and cared for. I am responsible, dependable, patient, nurturing, and attentive to each child's individual needs. My experience includes everything from watching children for a few hours to providing overnight care and transportation when needed. I am comfortable adapting to different family routines and helping with daily responsibilities to make parents' lives easier. I am currently a full-time online student at the University of South Florida, which gives me a flexible schedule and greater availability for families. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with the children I care for and becoming someone parents can trust. My goal is to make sure every family feels comfortable leaving their children in my care and that every child feels safe, happy, and loved while I am with them.
Hi my name is Berlin and I am 18 years old! I worked at daycare for a year and now I am working at a hospital (so I am CPR certified). I love kids and my goal is make your child’s time with me enjoyable while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands.
Hi there. My love for children and animals too has always been a part of me, as long as I can remember, but when my brother was born, I was almost 10 and that was when I really fell head over heels in love with children. He was my living doll. He wanted nothing to do with the babysitters at his wee little age, so at 10 years old I was babysitting him and doing all the things one would do for a little one,i.e. feed, burp, change poopy diaper, and give him lots of loving attention.1[removed] After high school graduation that summer, I nannied a toddler, beautiful, darling little girl, and got her off diapers, the bottle and taught her how to swim. Also, I have extensive experience with stranger babysitting, as I had done services in Orlando, Vegas and So Cal. 1990-2000 I have taken children to Disney World, Epcot, Universal Studios through the dolphin and the Swan hotels in Orlando. In Vegas, I would take children to the New York, New York, roller coasters, or wet and wild or other hotels that have roller coasters or water parks, etc. And then in Southern California, I would take them to various places such as Disneyland universal anywhere their parents would want me to take them. I have taken care of special needs children as a one time coming over to help relieve the parent’s them for a much-needed break in Vegas sometimes so they could go to casino so I’d be there all night. In SoCal I was a nanny for three families. I lived at one family’s house and then worked for two other families while I went to college for a two year program before I found the families I had done the stranger babysitting. When I first moved back home to Florida, I was going to go back to my nanny place for stranger babysitting but it was based out of Orlando and since I live in Lakeland, I decided against it ultimately so I was excited to see this one based in Lakeland. 2017-2018 - 2020-2022 in Lakeland nannied for 2 girls one autistic baby and 2 dogs 2018-2019 hi Lakeland Mandy for two boys two dogs a I did do pet sitting in Lakeland. I had my own baby, Betty Boo, but she recently passed. I kind of did it for her so she would have friends. I do love children, and I like playing with the children (without the phones) You can learn so much from children They say the funniest things. They are such comedians. I love to watch them grow and impart into them even though they really are the inspiring ones. I’d love to meet your little ones, if given the chance. Take care.
Hi! I’m Sebrina a dependable and caring caregiver based in Polk County, serving local families and those visiting the Orlando theme park area. I have experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, and I’m known for being reliable, patient, and attentive. I’m also a licensed insurance agent and a former CNA, so I take safety, responsibility, and protecting families very seriously. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your children and your home. I offer school pickup, aftercare, date nights, and theme park nanny support for visiting families. I bring a calm, structured approach while making sure kids feel comfortable and cared for.
