Alicia $18 per hour for 1 child

Perfect! Based on that, here’s a draft introduction for your UrbanSitter profile: ⸻ Hello! I’m [AliciA], originally from Kingston, Jamaica, but living in sliver springs Aspenhill area now and I bring a warm Caribbean spirit to everything I do. I’m a certified CNA with extensive experience working with special needs children as well as typically developing kids. Back in Jamaica, I was a preschool teacher and I also work as a nurse, so I bring both professional and nurturing care. I love reading, music, and, most importantly, spending time with children. Their laughter, curiosity, and innocent charm are truly special to me. I’m also a proud mom of two, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. I look forward to caring for your little ones! ⸻ Feel free to tweak it or let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to add!

$17 per hour for 1 child

I have been working with kids for a very long time with family and outside of family. I love having fun and also being open and experiencing New things. I have also worked with a summer camp (Therapeutic Recreation) with kids with disabilities so I am open and willing to work with all types of kids. I’m also down to do long term and look for a place and a family to grow with and learn! I’ve also dog sat and am willing to clean around the house if needed. Will also negotiate price if needed! Thank you.

“Maya is a very sweet girl, she is always on time, communication is on point, she is very flexible. She took care of my 7 year old son and took care of my 8 month old puppy frenchie. Never had no problems Maya is the best!”

Jenifer $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jenifer, I’m 22 years old, and I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I’m currently a phlebotomy student and have hands on healthcare training, which has taught me the importance of patience, safety, communication, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I’m also CPR certified and have basic medical and first-aid knowledge, so your child’s safety will always be one of my top priorities. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable creating a positive environment where children can feel safe and be themselves. Whether that means playing games, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, keeping up with routines, or just being someone they feel comfortable around, I’m happy to help. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I would love the opportunity to become a reliable and trusted sitter for your family!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
