I am a reliable, enthusiastic, disciplined, and honest individual with a successful track record of working with kids of multiple different families through which I developed exceptional child care and needs management expertise. I am well versed in taking care of children between the ages of 5 months to 12 years. Specifically, I am very competent at: - Meal and snacks preparation and bottle-feeding infants - Bathing, dressing, and toilet-training children - Tidying up children's bedroom and play room - Keeping a vigilant eye on the children's activities, preparing them for school, helping them with homework and organizing their leisure activities Above all, I know how to keep the kids safe and amused in different healthy ways. I am also a very experienced pet sitter. I love animals very much and am very caring to the fur babies. I have mostly cared for large/small dogs and various breeds, such as German Shepherd’s, Labradors, an Old English Sheepadoodle, Golden Retrievers, Yorkie’s, and Dachshund’s. I understand your pets are important to you and they are to me as well. I am mindful of the needs of your pets and will treat them as my own.
*Not available to sit for sick (contagious) children* Having been on UrbanSitter close to its inception in 2014, I have over 25 years experience in childcare. I’ve worked with infants to 15-year-olds, and earned my certificate for early childhood development with the University of Oklahoma. I have worked in a nursery, as a teacher's assistant in an after school care program, as a nanny and mother’s helper. For over four years I was contracted by a sitting agency in Oklahoma and Dallas and was chosen twice as Sitter of the Month based on requests and family feedback. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am attentive to routines and guidelines while also connecting to kids with silly playtime. I am also very artsy and love to create things with kids, sing and make up stories and characters. Several families ask me back multiple times, and I look forward to meeting yours!
Hi, I'm Emily :) I'm 29 years old, and I work from home full time. I’ve babysat for 8+ years on and off and volunteered at VBS for 5+ years. I love working with kids and have experience with various ages.
“Emily was on time and very professional. She was a blast for the kids, who were literally chanting, "Emily is the best!" We will definitely be using her in the future! Mom tested and kid approved. ”
Hello! My name is Ariana and I am a graduate student. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 12-13 years old watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I have been responsible for driving to/from school, crafts, driving to/from after-school activities, and completing chores. I love hanging out and doing activities that the children enjoy, while teaching life and communication skills that are age appropriate! (ex. maintaining a clean room, completing homework, communicating needs, etc.) For house sitting, I have been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, and regularly checking in on the house when needed. I am comfortable with most pets, but am most familiar with dogs.
“Warm, professional, and a joy for our daughter to be around. ”
Hi families! I am a 28 year-old college graduate living in Plano. My mom was 1 of 20 children, so I have a lot of little cousins who I grew up around and helped care for. I have 13 years of paid babysitting experience. I've after-school nannied for two families with 8 and 5 year-old girls. I have experience with all ages of children, including: infants, toddlers, twins, multiples and special needs (ADHD and Down Syndrome). I'm comfortable changing diapers, bottle-feeding, rocking children to sleep, etc. I have a calm, patient and easy-going personality with a good sense of humor that allows me to connect well with kids. I enjoy meeting new families and would love to hear from you if I seem like a good fit!
“Megan was great with our two boys and two young dogs. She managed bedtimes, meals, crating dogs, and communicated throughout the evening. She was prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!”
