Hi parents, I have 8 years of childcare experience and provide a fun and safe experience! I’m very active, imaginative, and patient. I’m CPR/First-Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and bilingual (Spanish).

Hi, I’m Gloria, I’m 29 years old and I love working with children. I have experience caring for little ones of all ages. I consider myself a responsible, loving, patient person who is always attentive to children’s well-being. I have training in child development, first aid, and pediatric CPR, as well as references that can confirm my work. I like to create an environment of trust and fun, with games, educational activities, and lots of love. I can prepare simple and healthy meals and organize routines that adapt to each child’s needs. In case of an emergency, I know how to act calmly and effectively thanks to my training. More than just babysitting, my goal is to support children in their growth and learning, in an environment full of respect and joy. I’m available for interviews and happy to share references. It will be a pleasure to meet you!

Hi, I’m Melissa and I keep my calendar up to date! Parents have told me they’ve had a lot of sitters they’ve booked on UrbanSitter cancel or not show up. I find that shocking! You can count on me. 💗 Parents of type 1 diabetics—I got you. I can carb count, monitor CGM, site changes, treat highs & lows, the whole thing. I’ve been type 1 since age 8 and I use a Tandem pump with Dexcom. I've been sitting through this site since Nov 2013, usually ~30 hours per week. I've seen it all! My style with kids depends on the type of people they are (kids’ personalities vary just like adults’ do) and what the parents advise and prefer. I'm flexible! I love to travel to parks, I have a lot of great crafts up my sleeve, I know endless children's songs, I'll do as much physically active play as my body can take! I want the kids to have a good time and remember their experience with me fondly, while also keeping everyone safe & sound. I love hanging out with little folks. I love to hear what they think and see life through their eyes. Kids have unique perspectives. They are learning so much so quickly and from everywhere they can, so it's incredibly important to be mindful of that as a caretaker, modeling patience, good humor, seriousness when it's important to be serious, and attentiveness to the emotional needs of others. Kids can be funny, cute, curious, sweet, accidentally profound, and often super-bossy. They're exhausting in the best possible way. I also just adore infants and toddlers and I could hold them and play with them all day! I have been known to quickly figure out how to accommodate even the most challenging babies. I aim to be flexible! It’s OK if you need to cancel, I will not be upset or expect payment. It's perfectly OK to come home early, I will not expect payment for the full booking time. I will always stay longer if you need me to as well, so long as it doesn't interfere with another booking. I understand life is unpredictable and I hope I can make life easier for parents. Just keep me in the loop and I'll do the same.
