Luci 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! 😊 Do you need a part-time sitter? I’m available for weekday/daytime childcare. I’m Luci, a recent Middlebury College graduate with degrees in Psychology (with a concentration in Child Development) and Studio Art. I’m also certified as a restorative justice facilitator and in child mental health crisis intervention. I have 4 years of experience babysitting for children ages 12 months–10 years. I’ve also taught art to young children in nonprofit early education settings. My approach to childcare aligns closely with the Montessori philosophy. I engage directly with children through play, encourage imagination and creativity, and am happy to take them to enrichment activities. If you’re looking for childcare or would like to chat more about what your family needs, feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect.

“with luci, i experience a trust, ease, and grounded sense of responsibility in a caregiver. at the same time, luci is extremely light, creative, and finding fun with my 10 year old son. you'll see that luci is consistently accountable for her time as well as lovely, considerate, and understanding of the pivotal role she plays in the daily schedule and mind of a young child. highly recommend :)”

Hello. I am a home organizer and love creating systems that work for your life. I work in corporate, the majority of my friends are childless and I miss spending time with children after growing up surrounded by them. That's why I am on Urban Sitter. I also speak Spanish and can incorporate that into childcare. Regarding experience, most of it involves children aged 9 - 12, but in the past two years, I have looked after newborns to 2yrs old. I'm a dog lover and dog sitter. I used to volunteer at a no-kill shelter and have experience with dogs and some behavioral issues.

Hi! My name is Leslie, and I'm currently pursuing my Master of Social Work (MSW) at Rutgers University. I've been caring for children since I was 15 and have hands-on experience working in daycares, camps, and recreation centers. Babysitting has always been something I truly enjoy! I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping and crafts. I'm looking for a position on Mondays and Fridays, and I'm also available for occasional babysitting, including evenings and date nights! Please message me if interested!

Hello, I’m Christopher, and I look forward to the opportunity to tutor. I’m passionate about helping others succeed academically. I tutor in math, science, and engineering, and I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple, understandable steps. I have many hobbies, including hiking, running, fixing cars, and working in my father’s construction company to help improve productivity. I also enjoy having conversations with interesting people because it gives me a chance to learn something new from different perspectives. I consider myself to be an active individual whenever I’m not studying or working, as the benefits it brings know no bounds.
