Hello- My name is Roxanna and I am currently a High School Senior getting ready to graduate in a couple of months! I love being a babysitter, and I love working with kids.

I love working with kids and have been fortunate to see many of the kids I’ve taken care of grow up!
Hi, my name is Jessica and I'm a stay at home mom to a three year old boy. My son will be tagging along unless otherwise stated. Please inform me if your child is sick. I keep my Urbansitter calendar accurate, so that's the best way to know my availability. I like taking the kids to the park for hours, playing outside, playing board games and reading to them. In my previous jobs, my duties included bathing, parks, museum and library. Cancellation policy day of: The time booked is the time I'm paid for.
Hi I’m Andrea! I am a responsible and caring babysitter with hands-on experience working with children through a school child development program. I have two years of experience supporting children’s growth, safety, and daily routines, including working with children with special needs. I have also volunteered as a camp leader, supervising a group of five children, organizing engaging activities, and managing daily schedules from morning wake-ups to bedtime. In addition, I am a certified medical assistant with current BLS certification, as well as adult and pediatric CPR and First Aid training. I have volunteered in elementary school settings and am confident in creating a safe, structured, and positive environment for children of all ages. Additionally, I don’t mind helping out with housework and/or pets! :)
