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!!”
Hi! My name is Lexi and I’m a 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!
Hi! I am 21 years old and have over 6 years of childcare experience with ages 0-10, and the past 3 years have been primarily full-time. I am a friendly, creative, and patient caregiver who prioritizes child development and strong parent communication. While nannying, I enjoy playing outside, going for walks, reading, singing and dancing, and doing crafts, along with many other creative activities. I also have plenty of experience with meal prep, nap routines, homework help, and light household chores. I look forward to hearing from you!
Hi, my name is Nidia. I’m offering my services as a sitter for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, dogs, and even house sitting. I have years of experience caring for children of all ages, having worked as a sitter while attending school to help pay for my education. In addition, I volunteered for several years in church for Sunday school, caring for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. I’m a mother to a 23-year-old and currently furthering my education online. For the past 19 years, I’ve worked as a medical assistant, including over eight years of experience caring for pediatric patients. My goal is to be a trustworthy resource for parents and a fun, responsible caregiver for your children, pets, and home. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m bilingual in English and Spanish.
Hi! I’m Ashlyn, a dedicated and caring childcare professional with several years of experience working with children of all ages in preschool, after-school, and summer camp settings. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education and have a passion for creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where children can learn and grow. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and love building meaningful relationships with the families I work with. Whether it’s planning creative activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, keeping routines on track, or simply being a positive role model, I always strive to make each child feel supported and cared for. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, pet care, and household organization. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing reliable, compassionate care!
