Gabrielle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gabby. I’m 28 - born and raised in NYC. I’ve had a huge passion for childcare since being a teen. Most recently I babysat for 2 gorgeous twins - 1 boy and 1 girl from their ages 5-7, until they moved away in 2024. I built a strong bond with them almost instantly that only got stronger over the 2 years. Since then, I've been doing occasional gigs here and there, but I hope to find more steady work. I’ve had several other jobs related to child care as well as pet care. I’m naturally a very nurturing person, so babysitting especially is something I gravitate towards. It’s also in my blood as I come from a line of teachers! My grandmother was a teacher in her day and my mother is an assistant teacher at an amazing nursery school! Everyday she comes home from work excited to show me new pictures of her babies at school - so sweet. Aside from childcare, I also have a background in art from my father’s side. As much as I love children, I'm currently finishing up a degree in Interior Design at Parsons (all asynchronous classes, so it would not interfere with my schedule). My favorite thing in the world is being able to combine my two passions – childcare and art! I love teaching kids art and introducing them to new medias, even getting technical and teaching perspective such as drawing 3D objects! During my last job with the twins, I introduced them to felting which was very fun. It was so rewarding to see their colorful creations! Overall I’m looking forward to going back to childcare. I know having a connection with a child is not something you can force, so if you think I might be a good match for your child/children, please do not hesitate to contact me! I am also able to look after any animals if needed, I am a huge animal lover and have looked after everything from dogs, to even chickens! Any chores you need done around the house can also get taken care of (permitting there's enough time in the day). Thank you!

My name is Ashley I love to serve others, children, seniors, and pets! For Children: I have several years of experience in child care from toddlers to teenagers. I'm gentle, kind and fun. I like to get minds and bodies moving, I won't just put your child in front of a screen! I offer a wide range of engaging and educational activities including arts and crafts, games, nature walks, improve/drama, photography, and cooking. I'm happy to do homework help! I have a degree in computer science and can can tutor your child in math and coding. For Seniors: I can offer seniors companionship and help with basic tasks around the house like cooking and cleaning. With seniors I love to have long chats and hear life stories (I'm a patient listener!) , play card games/backgammon/chess, or take them on walks depending on mobility. For Animals: I primarily have experience caring for dogs, and can also care for cats. I take care of dogs that are small to large (larger dogs must be more friendly, but I don't mind a small dog with trust-issues). I can take dogs on long walks and to the park. I don't have a car but can escort to and from schools or appointments via walking, public transit, or Uber.

"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."
