Tamiyah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Tamiyah, I am a loving, patient, and dependable childcare provider with over 5+ years of professional experience working with children of various ages. I previously worked as an Afterschool Teacher at Apex Learning Center, where I supported elementary-aged students with homework assistance, structured activities, classroom management, and social-emotional development. In this role, I learned how to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel encouraged, supported, and confident. In addition to my experience with school-aged children, I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle guidance during early developmental stages. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, learning, and emotional growth while always prioritizing safety. I also worked as a caregiver at Mount Vernon Towers, where I assisted senior residents with daily living activities and companionship. This experience strengthened my nurturing nature, attentiveness, and ability to provide personalized care with empathy and respect. Working with seniors has enhanced my patience and my ability to remain calm and supportive in all situations. I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands. I am experienced in multitasking, maintaining routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and caring for pets as well. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once and adapting to each family’s unique needs and parenting style. Families describe me as gentle, trustworthy, responsible, and attentive. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children and families I work with. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can thrive, feel secure, and have fun. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, compassionate care.

Kathleen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kathleen, and I am a sophomore at Hunter College. Throughout high school, I was a 3-sport varsity athlete (cross country, basketball, and golf) and I played several different sports growing up! My main hobby is running, and I am looking to qualify for the Boston Marathon! I love to entertain and make sure the kids are having fun! I am a very friendly person and although I love to have fun, I always want to make sure we are staying safe. I am very familiar with the kitchen and cooking a good meal. I have two sisters, one older and one younger so I am very familiar with the conflict that can arise. I also have a dog and love all pets.

Sila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sila, I am 29 years old. I completed a degree in Preschool Education in my country, and after graduating I came to the United States through the Au Pair program to care for children. My favorite age group is infants, babies and toddlers, and I have extensive experience with them. I was an Au Pair for a baby from 2 months to 15 months old and his 2-year-old sister for a year, but I was taking care of the newborn and the responsibility was on me all day-full time. Morning and night routines, preparing meals, giving him baths, taking him outside, transferring to solid foods, helping with motor skill, burping him, feeding on schedule and creating a calm environment for his growth -everything was my responsibility. We enjoyed going to the park, doing puzzles, visiting the library, making rock and leaf collections, reading picture books together, playing with sensory toys, and encouraging crawling and walking. After my Au Pair year, I cared for an 18-month-old toddler for 1.5 years, until she started school. I gained experience with potty training, sleep training, preparing a variety of different meals, doing activities with her, and participating in various events. Also we enjoyed playing with princess toys and Barbies, going to the park, having playdates at the library, baking cookies, coloring, and playing with playdough. Most recently, I cared for a baby from 5 months to 14 months old. My responsibilities included preparing bottles and healthy meals, introducing solid foods, maintaining feeding and nap schedules, diaper changes, baths, developmental play, outdoor walks, and supporting important milestones such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also worked part-time or one time job for a lot of families, and in my home country I worked in both a kindergarten and a daycare. I love cooking and can prepare different kinds of healthy meals for children. I have completed CPR and First Aid training( American Red Cross), and I have a valid driver's license. I can provide references from my Au Pair family and the most recent family I worked for. I am fully vaccinated (Flu, Tdap, and COVID vaccines). I am also happy to help with light housework and to support mothers. I don't smoke, and I love animals.

"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."
