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.

I'm the proud mom of a kind, curious, and cuddly tiny human who fills my life with joy and inspiration. Plus, I bring over 20 years of professional experience as a child care provider, camp counselor, tutor, family/personal assistant, household manager. On top of that, I have a lifetime of hands-on experience as the eldest sister of eight siblings-including two sets of twins! My philosophy is simple: Children teach us as much as we teach them. They remind us to slow down, find beauty in the little things, ask questions, and embrace change. I strive to nurture curiosity, intellect, and imagination in a safe, compassionate environment. I integrate music and play into everyday activities while empowering children to grow with confidence, self-discipline, and self-respect. I adapt my approach to each child's unique needs and development, as well as to each family. My passion lies in working as a team to create a fun and engaging atmosphere that fosters learning and growth!

Hi there! I'm 32 years old. I'm from Brazil and I have 8+ years experience with kids. My experience is with kids from the age 0 months old to 16yo. I'm patient, caring, responsible, flexible, dependable, organized, happy and very positive. I’m actually looking for opportunities for the month of June to help out with summer. I have an open schedule this month while I’m transitioning in my full time corporate job. I look for families that are respectful, mindful, and that values communication. Please contact me and I'd be happy to provide more information. Thank you! ✨

“She was professional, on time, and someone I will definitely hire again. Thank you Dèbora!”

Booked by 4 families in Berkeley, CA

I just moved to New York for a couple of months. During this time I would love to babysit. I have experience working as a camp counselor where I was responsible for groups of 10 children aged 3 to 5. I learned how to care for all ages and all profiles. I also have experience with babies, I have cared over the past few months for a baby (from when they were a 6 month old to now a 1 year old), caring for them during the day and completing their night time routine. Tasks I did: help with lunch, assure safety at all times, respect a tight schedule, be alert and observant of all children always, motivate children to do what they have to get done (eg. Drinking water, brushing teeth), play games and engage conversations,keep parents informed of any problems asap, … I have also done overnight babysitting for a regular family (multiple days/ nights without parents) and gotten children ready for bed & school in the morning. I am one of four siblings and have two younger brothers. Both of which I have spent a lot of time with and caring for, from diaper cleaning to helping with homework. Outside of my family, I have taken care of multiple children in New York, Paris, London and San Francisco. A non-exhaustive list of tasks I have done: walking with children from school to home, helping with homework, playing board games, waking up and getting ready for school, morning and evening hygiene tasks, putting children to bed, reading with them, outside walks to the park, planning cultural outings. In addition, I can do house cleaning tasks, prepare basic and healthy meals, and take care of cats. I am a french native and I can help with oral practice and homework. I have experience with family seniors that are physically impaired with general help and hygiene. Overall, I believe that every child is unique, special and has particular needs. I am respectful and responsible and will prioritise any tasks assigned. I have always been around young children and I love seeing them evolve.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
