Hi! My name is Stephanie. I'm a paraprofessional and a neighborhood soccer coach with a passion for working with children. I've been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have experience caring for newborns, toddlers, and children ages 6–13. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, driving children to and from activities, helping with homework, maintaining a safe and engaging environment, and keeping play areas clean and organized. I have completed some college coursework in Early Childhood Education and am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm a dependable, patient, and caring caregiver who enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun while giving parents peace of mind.

Hi, I’m Alisha! I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced professional nanny with 8 years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age throughout the NYC and Tri-State area. Over the years, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including siblings and multiple children at different developmental stages. I genuinely enjoy being hands-on and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. My experience includes newborn and infant care, bottle feeding, introducing solids, nap and sleep routines, developmental play, sensory activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, school and activity transportation, and creating age-appropriate daily routines. I’m also comfortable helping with children’s laundry, meal preparation, tidying, errands, and other tasks that help keep a household running smoothly. I have completed Early Childhood Education coursework through my Child Development Associate (CDA) journey, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and developmental milestones. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified. As a nanny, I’m patient, communicative, proactive, and adaptable. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, understood, and given opportunities to explore their interests. I also value open communication with parents and believe the best nanny-family relationships are built on trust, respect, consistency, and teamwork. I’m comfortable working independently or alongside work-from-home parents and enjoy becoming a trusted and valued part of the families I work with. Whether we’re having a quiet day at home, exploring the neighborhood, visiting the park or library, or trying a new activity, my goal is always to make the day meaningful, fun, and age-appropriate. I’d love the opportunity to connect with a family who is looking for a caring, experienced nanny who will genuinely invest in their children and become a dependable part of their support system.

Hello! My name is Tesla. I am 29 years old and have worked in childcare on and off for the last 9 years. During those years I have amassed a diverse array of childcare experience in Utah, California, Hawaii, and New York. I have assisted families with relaxed lifestyles who just need an extra hand, as well as families who require lots of extra assistance and operate with fast-paced schedules in large cities. The bonds I have forged working in childcare have changed my life. I would love to help you and your family!

Hello all! I'm looking forward to meeting new families. I have been a childcare provider for twelve years and I love working with kids and babies. I went to FIT for fine arts, and I love to help children learn to paint 🎨 and explore their musical abilities (I teach guitar 🎸). I like to cook🥘, and my favorite meal to make is buttery cheesy pasta with veggies. I like to play music from jam bands like Kruangbin while helping with homework and studying. I know things have been challenging for everyone during this time, and I am happy to be a strong supportive presence for any family who needs me. Creating a positive, loving, tidy, and structured environment is very important. 📚It’s great to have reading time throughout the day and it’s important for kids to learn by example, so I like to read books to the younger kids, and have book time with the older kids where we all read our own personal books. My favorite book is The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Heidi W. Durrow. For families that like to include technology in their little ones' routine, I like to use fun different language apps to help build a new linguistic foundation. I am an intermediate French speaker so practicing French, in particular, is fun for me. My most recent experience includes working with a 2 year old in Indonesia and two toddlers in Brooklyn. I love playing sports with kids and getting to run outside with them and have as much fresh air as possible. Tag and soccer are favorite games of mine and I like shooting hoops🏀 Everyone's safety is of the most importance, being strict about mask wearing, hand washing, and all around vigilance is essential. Be safe out there, and I wish you all luck on your search! Cassidy

"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."
