Hello! I am a loving, playful, creative professional Ballerina, Early Childhood Educator, and Nanny. I have been a regular part time nanny for multiple families in NYC for the past 10 years and am in Dallas for a few weeks to work at the Opera. (I am actually still with a family that I met when I first joined Urbansitter- through the birth of their second child and a move!) I strive to provide a loving, peaceful environment, and to nurture all areas of development for these wonderful little humans. In addition to more than a decade of hands on experience, I have been trained in childhood development through movement with Dionne Kamara, and through sensory play with Jennie Monness at Union Square Play. I have since joined the staff there as a Lead Educator and a Co-Creator of the ‘Dance! Play! Ballet!’ curriculum. I base my approach to nannying on the Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and RIE philosophies that I have been exposed to and experienced in my work. I am Infant CPR/First Aid certified.

Hi parents, My name is Roma and I love babysitting/dog sitting. I believe it’s important to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. I have a big family and they’ve instilled important values and professional work ethics on me. I work in the medical field as a pharmacy technician. It’s a rewarding experience as I keep in touch with my patients occasionally , as you build long-lasting relationships throughout the months and sometimes years! I volunteer, as well through CERT. It’s an acronym for Community Emergency Response Team. We prepare/train fellow community members in what to do incase there is an emergency life-threatening situation. As you can see..I like to stay busy and keep my mind sharp. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon and hopefully building fun memories :]

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.

Booked by 6 families in Garland, TX

I'm Deisy, a nanny with more than 5 years of experience in taking care of children of all ages. My approach is based on creating a safe, fun and educational environment, where children can explore and learn. I consider myself a loving, punctual and creative person, always looking for ways to keep the little ones entertained and happy. Although my English is not very good, I have never had communication problems; I always find a way to connect with families. In addition, I teach Spanish to children, which enriches their learning. I offer support with light cleaning tasks and I can help with pet care. I have a clean driving record and I have my own vehicle, which allows me to be flexible in my schedules. I have certificates in CPR and first aid, which gives me the confidence to act in emergency situations. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals tailored to family preferences. My good references from several families reflect my commitment and dedication. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the well-being and development of your children.

“Deisy is such a sweet and humble young lady. She was an amazing caregiver for my three kids, and I can’t recommend her enough! For anyone who has a hard time trusting others or doesn’t know where to leave their little ones, Deisy is truly someone you can count on—whether it’s for a night out or an emergency. My kids absolutely loved her! She was very punctual, and she communicated since I booked !! She is someone responsible and I was able to rely on her with my babies !! We will be using your services in the future 🤍 Thank you Deisy I couldn’t recommend you enough !!! ”

Booked by 2 families in Garland, TX

Hello! I'm a Richardson native looking to help local families while earning a little extra income. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Dallas and several years of experience working with children of all ages including infants through my time as a dance instructor. I'm happy to provide engaging, attentive care in your home, whether that means playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, or keeping little ones entertained. With your permission, I'm also happy to take children to a nearby park for some outdoor fun. I was recently married and have a dog and two cats, so I'm very comfortable around pets. I'm dependable, patient, and understand how important it is for parents to know their children are in caring and responsible hands. I look forward to meeting your family! Please note I do have an 8 am to 5 pm day job, so I will only be able to accommodate outside of these hours. A quick note about my reviews: You might notice I only have one review, and it's a few years old. That's because I took a break from babysitting while focusing on building my career after college. Rest assured, I've babysat for far more families than my profile suggests. The happy kids and relieved parents just weren't in the habit of leaving online reviews back then. 😊 I'm excited to be back and look forward to earning many more five-star reviews!

“Kelley arrived before time and was really friendly. She walked my son to the park and he had a great time. I highly recommend her. Thank you Kelley!”
