I am a 19 year old dedicated college student pursuing a nursing career under pediatrics seeking to expand my work ethic with an understanding of children’s behavior and needs. I am an enthusiastic, caring, and organized individual looking to grow as a person and professional every day while prioritizing children. I am a young lady myself, but i prioritize the safety of children with softness and calmness and will forever care over any child like they are my own family.
Hi! My name is Rac-Khyla, I’m a 22 year old pharmacy technician. On my off days I’d babysit my younger cousins that used to live with, a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter who loves working with kids. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I enjoy helping with homework, playtime, even bedtime routines, and I treat every child as if they were my own siblings or cousins. Parents can count on me to be responsible, respectful, and trustworthy.
Hello. I am a home organizer and love creating systems that work for your life. I work in corporate, the majority of my friends are childless and I miss spending time with children after growing up surrounded by them. That's why I am on Urban Sitter. I also speak Spanish and can incorporate that into childcare. Regarding experience, most of it involves children aged 9 - 12, but in the past two years, I have looked after newborns to 2yrs old. I'm a dog lover and dog sitter. I used to volunteer at a no-kill shelter and have experience with dogs and some behavioral issues.
Hello! My name is Lenice and I am a MACTE trained Montessori infant toddler teacher and professional babysitter. I am an expert in having fun, creating safe spaces and activities and seeing each child’s unique capabilities and forming lasting connections
Hi parents! 😊 Do you need a part-time sitter? I’m available for weekday/daytime childcare. I’m Luci, a recent Middlebury College graduate with degrees in Psychology (with a concentration in Child Development) and Studio Art. I’m also certified as a restorative justice facilitator and in child mental health crisis intervention. I have 4 years of experience babysitting for children ages 12 months–10 years. I’ve also taught art to young children in nonprofit early education settings. My approach to childcare aligns closely with the Montessori philosophy. I engage directly with children through play, encourage imagination and creativity, and am happy to take them to enrichment activities. If you’re looking for childcare or would like to chat more about what your family needs, feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect.
“with luci, i experience a trust, ease, and grounded sense of responsibility in a caregiver. at the same time, luci is extremely light, creative, and finding fun with my 10 year old son. you'll see that luci is consistently accountable for her time as well as lovely, considerate, and understanding of the pivotal role she plays in the daily schedule and mind of a young child. highly recommend :)”
