Meet college nannies and sitters from Fashion Institute of Technology

Hi, my name is Mikaela, and I’m originally from New York. I’ve been living in the city for the past eight years and have several years of hands-on experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 12. From the age of 17 to 21, I worked full-time as a babysitter for a pair of twin girls. My responsibilities included everything from after-school pick-up and homework help to preparing dinner and getting them to their after-school activities. I’ve always loved working with kids, I find it incredibly rewarding to be part of their growth and to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I’m patient, dependable, and energetic, and I bring a calm, positive attitude to every family I work with. I’d be a great fit for any babysitting job and would love the opportunity to support your family however I can.

Hi, I’m Valentina. I’m a 22-year-old college student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where I study Advertising and Marketing Communications. I currently live in NYC and am looking for babysitting opportunities with families in the area. I have experience working with children as a babysitter and former camp counselor, caring for kids ages 3–10. I also taught Spanish to elementary school students (grades 1–5) as part of my high school Spanish Language and Global Citizen program, where I created and led engaging, interactive lesson plans in a classroom setting. I really enjoy working with children and bringing a balance of structure, creativity, and fun into their day. I’m comfortable helping with homework, light cooking, errands, and general household support. Outside of childcare, I’m a very active and creative person. I’m a former soccer player and love outdoor activities, sports, and staying active with kids. I also enjoy creative activities like art, painting, film, theatre, and storytelling. I’m open to working with children of different personalities and energy levels, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged.

I have 10 years of experience supporting families across New York as a nanny, personal assistant and house manager. I truly enjoy being part of a child’s growth and creating a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where they can thrive. I’m experienced in building consistent routines, preparing healthy meals, organizing creative activities and supporting children with schoolwork and daily development. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable managing the day-to-day needs of a busy household whether that’s coordinating schedules, running errands or keeping things organized to help life run smoothly. Outside of childcare, I work as a photographer. I’m looking for a consistent position that fits well with my schedule. I currently work with one other family part-time and my availability remains flexible.

Hi! My name is Stella, I’m 22 and I offer childcare for children of all ages. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have experience with infants, toddlers, and older kids. I genuinely love working with children and watching them grow and develop their personalities. Alongside babysitting, I’ve worked as an Art Assistant Teacher at The Art Guild, an Art Teacher at Buckley Day Camp, and a shadow counselor at North Shore Day Camp, where I supported a child with autism one-on-one. These roles have given me experience with a wide range of ages and needs. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and trustworthy, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment. I also love incorporating creative activities like arts and crafts, dancing, and games to keep kids engaged :)) I’d love to meet your family and provide reliable, attentive care. I’m new to UrbanSitter, so I’m happy to share references or my resume if needed!

I’m a part-time teacher who enjoys supporting families by providing dependable, caring, and flexible childcare. My professional background is in fashion and sustainability, but being an auntie has given me a special love for caring for the many children in my life. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands. I currently work in the nursery at my local church, caring for children ages 1–3. For four years, I cared for a little boy from the time he was 6 months old through age 4. More recently, I have also helped care for a 2-year-old and newborn twins. I bring patience, kindness, creativity, and dependability to every family I support. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel cared for while providing families with reliable support they can trust.

Hello! My name is Isabela! I’m new on Urban Sitter, and I’m a recent college graduate with a strong background in childcare and youth programming. I speak English, French, and Spanish fluently and enjoy working with families from many different backgrounds. I grew up in a household where caring for children was always part of daily life, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from an early age. Beyond family care, I spent two summers as a camp counselor at the Humane Society of Broward County Kids Club Summer Camp, where I helped lead activities, supervised groups of children, and also gained hands-on experience caring for pets. Whether helping with homework, keeping kids engaged with creative activities, or supporting families with pet care, I bring enthusiasm, reliability, and a nurturing approach to everything I do.

I started babysitting at 14 and have worked in childcare since then. I worked at a summer camp for five years, and have also have been a full time swim instructor for children ages 2-12. I have done private lessons and continued babysitting throughout. I love working with kids and enjoy watching them learn with a smile on their face!

Hi my name is Sam and I am a creative, warm, reliable, and experienced caregiver with a deep passion for child development and supporting families. With a background in caring for toddlers through school-aged children, I bring a calm, structured, and engaging approach to every household. I specialize in creating age-appropriate activities that foster learning, creativity, and emotional growth whether it’s through imaginative play with toddlers, supporting preschoolers through transitions, or helping older children with homework, reading, and problem-solving. I’m dependable, adaptable, calm, communicative, and comfortable managing busy schedules, school pickups, light housekeeping, meal prep, and navigating NYC with children. My goal is to become a trusted, consistent presence in your child’s life and a dependable partner in your family's routine.
