Rebecca $15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Astoria, NY

Hi! I'm Rebecca, or Becky, and I'm a college student currently taking some time off. I'd love to babysit a bit more than I currently am and to work with your family! I've been babysitting since I was about 13, have worked with several families regularly with great success, and am very reliable. I'm also a very involved sitter, who actively plays with the children I'm watching, but I also am fully able to take on responsibilities such as feeding, bathing, bedtime, and social activities. I look forward to hearing from you!

Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Maria. I am a mom to a 32-year old adult with autism. As a special ed teacher, I have worked with many children with special needs helping them with activities of daily living (feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting, etc) behavioral and communication adaptations. I can take children to school or other appointments, as well as assist them with homework. I live on the Upper East side and am available to work twice a week. I am allergic to animals so I cannot work in households with pets. I do not speak Spanish. I consider myself to be an organized, compassionate, patient and trustworthy person. I prefer to work with seniors or no more than two kids aged 2 and above.

Katie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, welcome! My name is Katie. As a babysitter/nanny I enjoy caring for children, it's been very rewarding. Soon, I hope to pursue a career in "Pediatric Occupational Therapist." I look to gain as much experience while working with kids as I possibly can. I’ve been a childcare provider for a few years now and it’s been great! The children I've cared for have been amazing, I've gained such an Immense love for them. I truly love being a caregiver provider for numerous reasons, Including the happiness it brings me knowing I am contributing to their growth and development. While caring for children I have learned plenty such as patience and the love and connection that is shared as well as to be compassionate. My experiences being a childcare provider have helped me grow so much as a person I’ve also learned things of myself. I’ve learned to develop strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to different situations and temperaments, the ability to make quick decisions in a safe and supportive manner. I have learned to gaining a deeper understanding of child development. Learning ways to manage children’s behaviors effectively providing positive social and emotional development. I try to work to my best ability, very dependable and responsible as well as very understanding, and self-confident. Which are important qualities to have when being a childcare provider as well as with any line of work. The families I've worked for have truly been amazing. I've been very lucky! I’ve kept a great relationship with the families which I believe it’s important. While working alongside the families I’ve always kept open and honest communications to keep everything afloat and make sure the families are comfortable while their children are under my care. I have also made myself available to other families when there was a need of a backup sitter/nanny, I’ve been flexible when there was a need for me to arrive earlier or stay much later. I try to be as flexible as possible because I am aware things may occur and families may need a little extra help. I truly love what I do which is why I look forward to it every day. This is a short summary of myself and my experiences, if it sounds good to you that makes me happy! Please reach out! I look forward to speaking further. Thanks :) As far as training and certifications, I have: - First Aid/CPR/AED certification - Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers certification. I can provide references!

"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."
