Booked by 10 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi there! I’m Debra, a sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I’ve cared for children across ages, from infants to school-aged, and I like building little routines and activities that keep them engaged: crafts, reading, a trip to the park or library, or just good play. I offer babysitting and childcare, plus help with light household tasks like tidying and organizing as I go. I’m comfortable with the full range of day-to-day care: feeding, naps, bedtime routines, and homework help for older kids. I bring a calm, dependable presence and pay attention to the details. I’m reliable, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. I currently get around by transit, so I’m a great fit for families who don’t need driving. Outside of sitting, I love reading, singing, traveling, and a bit of interior decorating, interests I happily fold into creative time with kids. I’d love to meet your family and learn how I can help. Thanks for considering me!

My name is Liz, I’m 33 years old, and originally from Brazil. I’ve been working with children for over ten years in a variety of roles that include nannying, family assistance, and cook support. I’m passionate about creating structure while also keeping things fun, organized, and nurturing for the children and families I work with. Previously, I was a family assistant/nanny/cook for a family with two school-aged girls. My mornings started early, getting the girls ready for school by prepping lunch boxes, encouraging them to make their beds and tidy their rooms, hairstyles, and handling school drop-offs. I was also responsible for the weekly grocery shopping and collaborate with the mom on meal planning to ensure the family’s routine and nutrition needs were met. I handled all the cooking and meal prep and also took on various home projects such as organizing rooms, closets, and redesigning garage storage systems. When the kids were home, I focused on engaging them with activities like crafts, cooking together, outdoor adventures, playground trips, and museum outings. Before this, I was working in a nanny share with a 21-month-old boy and a 22-month-old girl. I had been with the girl since she was 3 months old, and we started the share when the children were 6 and 7 months old. I have hands-on experience with Montessori practices, sleep training, introducing solids, and supporting motor skill development. In a previous role, I worked as a nanny/family assistant for two incredible girls, ages 7 and 10. My responsibilities included school pickups and drop-offs, homework help, coordinating their daily routines, managing their laundry and belongings, and planning fun and enriching activities like hiking, biking, and arts and crafts. As a family assistant, I supported the household by organizing the family calendar, running errands, grocery shopping, helping with meal planning and prep, and generally making sure the household ran smoothly.

“We had a wonderful experience with Liz. She watched our two daughters for an evening and was punctual, friendly, and immediately put both the kids (and us!) at ease. She was engaging, responsible, and handled dinner, bedtime, and everything in between with confidence and warmth. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

"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."
