Booked by 2 families in Reno, NV

Hi there, my name is Jasmine! I have always loved taking care of kids by making them feel comfortable and stay safe while their parents are away. I want to be a mom one day as I value creating an environment for children to learn and grow. I am currently a student-athlete at the University of Nevada, Reno where I have had the opportunity to volunteer with Girls on the Run and at a couple of local elementary schools. As an active member in college athletics and 5+ years of babysitting experience, I embody responsibility and have already made the commitment to put your kids first. I look forward to connecting!

Jasmine is awesome and I really hope to hire her again. She instantly bonded with my kids, kept them happy, fed, clean, entertained (on a rainy day!), and tidied up with them after playing and meals. She handled nap time like a pro and was entirely self sufficient. Highly recommend!!

Booked by 1 family in Reno, NV

Hi! My name is Lexi and I’m a rising college junior in Nevada. I’m offering child care, pet care, and a few household services. I’ve been doing serious, paid babysitting with UrbanSitter since summer of 2024, but don’t let that scare you! I have babysat my little cousins and family friends’ kids many times before I started working with UrbanSitter. Since working with UrbanSitter, I’ve worked with a few families and repeat families. Therefore, I’ve been told that I’m great with kids of all ages. I love being around kids as they open up a whole new whirlwind of curiosity and possibilities. I’m pretty experienced in dog care as well, as I have a dog of my own! I love to play with her, take her on walks, and give her all that she needs to be cared for. I’m also open to household services like errands, laundry, and organizing. I’m super eager to work with your family!
