Bri $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Bri, I have a passion for helping kids who have struggled with school or been bullied. I believe every kid should have a fun and safe experience with any sitter trusted to be their caretaker. I approach babysitting by getting on each kids level, playing the games they enjoy, and doing activities to fill the time. I love being a kids best friend! I’m happy to prep meals, tidy after playing, walk to nearby parks, and supervise swimming as a soon-to-be certified Lifeguard (this summer).

Myllene $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Myllene. I come from a family of eight children, and as the firstborn, I developed strong caregiving skills from an early age by helping care for my younger siblings. This experience was not out of obligation, but from a genuine passion for supporting and nurturing others. Over the years, my love for working with children has continued to grow. I enjoy creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I would be honored to assist your family and provide dependable, compassionate care for your little ones.

EXPERIENCE IS KEY! I offer nannying, babysitting and childcare for infants, toddlers, kids, tweens and teens. I have over 24 years of professional experience. I am a 40-year-old mother of 2, a non-smoker, and have lived here in Carrollton for over 20 years. I have provided professional childcare since I was 14 years old. I am a Realtor and a Notary, but my calling is children. I am certified in first aid, CPR and AED through American Red Cross. My education was majored in medical science. I have my own vehicle, which seats up to 6 children, is owned by me, and fully insured. I do have excellent references, a clean background and driving record. I am bi-lingual (English/Spanish) and grew up with a deaf sibling; I know some ASL. I love pets and have no allergies of any kind. I cook, clean and will help with chores and organizing if needed. I promise I will treat your children as my own. Please reach out if you think I may be a good match for your family. Thank you!

Booked by 6 families in The Colony, TX

Hello! My name is Daneeta and I am an experienced care provider and turor. I come from a large family, so I have quite a bit of experience with children of all ages, as well as children with special needs. I also volunteer in my church's nursery, so I am very comfortable with babies, and have tutored children from elementary through high school in different subjects. I am a singer and actor, so being creative and animated comes easy to me. I would love the opportunity to provide safe care for your precious little ones.

“Daneeta accepted the job last minute when my daughter was mildly ill and not able to go into daycare. My 9 month old daughter took to her instantly, and Daneeta was so gentle and caring - looking for ways to keep our daughter comfortable when she didn’t feel well. Daneeta was singing to her (beautifully, I might add) and I could hear from the other room my daughter trying to sing along, which was very very sweet. Will absolutely be reaching out to Daneeta again!”

Booked by 10 families in The Colony, TX

Hello, I have sat for multiple families and multiple different ages. I worked at an elementary school, as a group leader, and a learning center with ages 5-8. I love babysitting because I have a genuine love for children and love to figure them out (psych major). I am friendly but firm and I love to play around! Policies are included for mutual understanding. My Policies: I respond and will typically agree to same day bookings. However, if it is the day before the booking, you and I must agree that I will be doing the job. If a job is not sent through Urban Sitter, or I do not receive a response from you, please do not expect me to be available for the job. When inquiring about a specific service, please include all details ( pay, city, expectations ), as my availability depends on what is needed. Due to the large increase in early arrivals: If I am booked for a specific number of hours, it is required that I am paid for said hours. If this is not okay with you, please do not send a request.

“Excellent experience. She has a great head on her shoulders. Very competent with my autistic son. Will definitely hire again. ”

"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)."
