Hi! I’m Odessa, a recent BFA Fine Arts graduate from Montclair State University, and I offer experienced, creative, and dependable childcare and pet care. I’m a Teaching Artist, who’s worked with children since 2021 across a wide range of ages. I’m currently a full-time K–3 tutor, supporting students with daily learning with age-appropriate activities. I’ve also worked as a full-time Co-Lead Preschool Teacher with toddlers and preschoolers, as well as a Lead Art Instructor and Art Assistant with children ages 3–17 through summer programs. These experiences have taught me how to adapt my approach to different ages, personalities, learning styles, and energy levels. I especially enjoy keeping children engaged through creative activities like painting, drawing, crafts, storytelling, educational games, and imaginative play. I’m also happy to help with homework, prepare simple meals, support bedtime routines, and create a structured but fun environment. I value patience, clear communication, and making sure children feel comfortable, heard, and encouraged. My pet-care experience dates back to 2024, including mostly dog walking and recently house sitting. I’m comfortable handling feeding, walks 1–2 times daily, playtime, basic routines, and medication dispensing when instructions are provided. I’m comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I am unfortunately allergic to cats, so I’m unable to provide cat care. I’m currently available for part-time babysitting and dog sitting and would be happy to build a trusting relationship with your family. I may be new to UrbanSitter reviews, but I bring several years of hands-on childcare experience, teaching experience, and a genuine love for working with children and animals. Whether your family needs an afternoon babysitter, homework help, a creative playmate, or reliable dog care, I’d love the opportunity to help
“Gabby was honestly so good with my kids. My toddler, she can take a little while to warm up to new people, but Gabby was really patient with her and made her feel comfortable pretty quickly. My 5 year old had so much fun with her and he was still talking about her after she left lol. She kept me updated, handled both of them really well, and I never felt like I had to worry while I was away. Would definitely have her back!”
Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile! As a child I was always the unpaid babysitter for my siblings and cousins. I was able to change diapers before I was even 10 so it comes naturally to take care and look after small kids. I’m very attentive and kind. I enjoy creative and fun activities! I currently take care of a family member as a caregiver for 3 years so that definitely emphasizes to my abilities to care, delegate and support others.
Hi I am Alesha. I am a caring coach and youth leader with 10+ years of experience working with children. Skilled in sports, safety, behavior support, fun activities, and creating a positive, safe environment for kids.
Hi my Name is Siena and I am college student. I have always babysat or hung out with little kids. Being that I grew up around a lot of little ones, it is something that I love to do. I am interested in a job for after classes during the week, something which I enjoy and hopefully the kids will too!
Hi! My name is Rivkah, and I work as an assistant teacher at CTA. I am currently studying forensic psychology and am deeply passionate about the field of psychology. I take pride in my skills, which I believe will enable me to understand and effectively work with children. I am certified in BLS and have received training in adult, child, and infant emergency care. I work with students aged 3-4, but I have been involved in childcare for various ages since I was 12. I love and am great with all animals, although I am best when it comes to dogs. I am currently on summer break and available to assist with any needs you may have. While I am comfortable with a wide range of services, I excel particularly with younger kids. As a teacher, one of my main responsibilities is to create projects that help children develop their skills and learn to express themselves. My work has provided me with extensive experience in meeting the unique needs of each child and finding what works best for them. I hope I can be of assistance! :)
