"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Natalie Estelle $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Saint Albans, NY
Hello! My name is Natalie and I am here to offer my services for child care, dog care, and household chores. I am newer to the Urban Sitter community, but I have 10+ experience with babysitting, as well as children's camp counseling. As an actor/writer, I bring a lot of heart, creativity, and patience to the care I provide. I am looking for part-time work, including pick ups & drop offs from school/activities, cooking/cleaning, date night babysitting, and playtime. I love kids, and I am looking forward to building trusting relationships with the families I provide care for. Additionally, I have been a dog owner for almost 15 years, so I am here for any pet-related needs as well, as I am organized, cleanly, and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I look forward to meeting you!
Chevelle $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Chevelle and I’m here to offer my services as both a senior caregiver and child caregiver. As an aspiring physician I take joy in any opportunity given to connect with all types of people and caregiving has afforded me the opportunity to do so. I have years of relevant experience as a result of my time as a camp counselor as well as health Director along with my current role as a Behavior Technician to kids on the autism spectrum. I put safety first in all aspects but I’m still about having a good time and bonding with those under my care.
