Hello everyone! My name is Marieme and this spring I just graduated from NYU with my master’s in public health. I am fully vaccinated and did receive the booster, so safety first is big on my end! I’ve decided to babysit during times I dont have class so my availability is open and subject to change. I am extremely friendly and I’m definitely a people-person. I am great with kids and I have lots of experience. I am an older sister to two, so I am naturally good at looking after children. Besides my own younger siblings, I’ve babysat professionally for about 5 years now. I love to play games with kids and I am very active and fun to be around. I was CPR certified, however my certification has expired. Luckily, I remember the training, just in case! I can speak English, French, Wolof ( A West-African Dialect), and I am now learning Spanish. I can help with homework, keep kids active/ entertained, and simply watch them attentively. I am fun yet mature and responsible. I hope we can meet soon!

Booked by 6 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi there! My name is Chantal, and I’m a recent graduate of NYU Wagner currently working part-time at a nonprofit organization. Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I’m available for part-time, occasional, evening, and weekend babysitting. Working with children has always been one of the most joyful and meaningful parts of my life. I love building trusting relationships with children, encouraging their curiosity, and creating spaces where they feel safe, supported, and free to explore the world around them. My experience includes: • Nannying children from 3 months to 12 years old, with most of my experience being with children ages 2–6. I have worked long-term nanny positions as well as one-time babysitting, school pickups, evening care, and overnight care. • Working as an English-Spanish bilingual tutor in an elementary school, supporting children ages 6–8. • Serving as a sleepaway camp counselor for 5–6-year-old girls, where I completed training in CPR, First Aid, and water safety. I enjoy creating engaging experiences tailored to each child’s interests—whether that’s trips to the park, museums, libraries, or neighborhood adventures, as well as imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, and sensory activities at home. I highly value outdoor time and believe childhood should be full of joy, creativity, wonder, and opportunities to learn through play. ✨ I’m also happy to provide: • Homework help and tutoring • Snack and meal preparation (omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan) • Pet care and assistance around the home • Support with public transit and practicing age-appropriate safety skills I am fluent in English and Spanish, conversational to near-fluent in Italian, and conversational in American Sign Language (ASL). I’m comfortable working in homes with pets of any kind and would love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meeting! I look forward to meeting you and your little ones. 🫶🏼😊

“Chantal regularly babysits our son after school. She's super trustworthy, communicative, and easy going. I'm usually busy at work when she's with our son out and about in manhattan, sometimes on the subway. I'm able to to focus on work and not worry about our son during this time, because he's always in great hands with Chantal!”

"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."
