Hi! My name is Vera. I have 3-4 years of experience caring for children of all ages from infants to pre-teens and I always focus on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’m great at planning creative activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping routines on track. I believe in positive communication and making sure children and families feel comfortable. I am also open to helping with household services! I am a very neat and organized person who enjoys having tasks done and maintaining a nice clean and comfortable space. Many describe me as reliable, patient, and attentive. I am CPR certified. I can also provide references upon request. I am new to urban sitter and would love the opportunity to get to know you and/or your family and help provide quality care you can count on.
Hello, my name is Sandra. I am a compassionate, loving, reliable, responsible babysitter with 6 years of experience in childcare including toddlers and infants. I love being a babysitter and being part of the child’s growth and development. My responsibilities have included, but not limited to, driving to/from school or appointments, meal prep, homework help, board game fun, arts and crafts, and in some occasions, Spanish lessons. I am fluent in both, written and spoken Spanish and English. I love helping the children that I babysit accomplish their goals no matter how small they may seem.
Looking for someone to fill in those last minute days or nights? Having a hard time finding a long term nanny but need someone else during the search? I’m available! I am a Freelance Film Production Coordinator looking for some part time work. I am the oldest of 7 children and have always been around kids. I worked at a daycare throughout high school and college, and then was a nanny for several years. Currently, I help to take care of my nieces and nephews (aged 3months - 5years) as needed. I am very comfortable and confident with all ages. First Aid and CPR Certified. References available.
“Kayla was great with both kids. My 4 year old loved talking with her and she had my 2 year old smiling and giggling. We will definitely have her back!”
Hi caregivers! My name is Dylan, and I’m currently looking for one-time jobs since I’m currently in graduate school! I am currently pursuing my Masters in Speech Language Pathology at Emerson College. I previously attended the University of Connecticut where I studied Communication Sciences and American Sign Language. My experience working with children started in 2022. In the summer of 2022, my first job was at a summer camp for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children. It was an overnight camp where I also taught archery. Following that experience, I decided to pursue more experiences in childcare and was hired at an early care and education center that I worked at part time while at UConn. During winter and summer breaks I often babysat and dogsat for many families. I also have experience working at a children’s fitness club within the gym I used to go to in my hometown. My most recent experiences have been working with children 3-17 years old as a Teacher of the Deaf during the 2[removed] school year. So far, as a graduate student clinician I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and school-age children. I do not have much experience with seniors, however, my first job was working as a waiter at a retirement home!
I’m a registered nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and years of experience caring for children and families. In addition to my nursing background, I have several years of babysitting experience with multiple families, caring for children of different ages and personalities. I’m CPR certified and am responsible, patient, attentive, dependable, and calm in unexpected situations. My nursing experience has taught me to pay close attention to detail and prioritize safety while still making sure kids have fun and feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, activities, errands, and light household tasks. I’m warm, energetic, trustworthy, and easygoing, and I genuinely love spending time with kids. I’m also a huge animal lover and am comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walks, and general care. Overall, I’m someone families can feel comfortable trusting in their home, and I always strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own family.
