Booked by 3 families in Jamaica, NY

While I am in between jobs, I find that I have free time (way too much of it!) and would love the opportunity to spend that time babysitting. I have babysat, nannied, taught Sunday School, worked in my church nursery, volunteered with after-school programs, tutored students--you name it--and I'm eager to get back into childcare. I am an energetic, creative, and responsible babysitter with 15+ years of experience caring for children ranging from 8 months to early teens. I pride myself on my ability to create fun, engaging, and educational activities, while always prioritizing children’s safety and well-being. I am certified by the American Red Cross in Child First Aid/CPR/AED. I am happy to provide a more detailed description of my experience upon request.

Booked by 1 family in Jamaica, NY

Hi! My name is Makela, I attend college at LaGuardia Community College, where I’m studying to become a NICU nurse because I’ve always dreamed of caring for little ones. I’ve been looking after kids for about five years now, I have experience working with children aged 0-12 but mostly new borns/toddlers and children up to age of 9. The first job I had was at 14 caring for my little cousin who was a new born at the time and it’s something I’ve loved since the very beginning. I enjoy cooking, dancing, and making everyday moments fun while also being responsible and reliable. I also speak Spanish which is something I’m open to teaching. Most of all, I want to create a safe, happy space for kids and be someone they can look up to. I’d love the chance to bring my energy and care into your family!

“Amazing young,responsible and kind lady. Thank you for being here for us!”

Booked by 1 family in Jamaica, NY

I am a hardworking and caring Latina who has 3 years of professional babysitter and nannying experience working with children from as young as 1-month to as old as 12 years old. I worked for a childcare company where I quickly learned how to maintain a calm, patient and loving presence in order to guide children in sharpening interdependence, listening skills and build their confidence to ensure they can shine bright with authenticity and happiness. I am a person who has clear communication skills and likes to check in with parents every step of the way as they gain trust with me as a caregiver. I am reliable child care provider who seeks a respectful workplace that pays a dignified wage for the hard work that often goes unnoticed in the caregiving field. Moreover as a sitter/nanny, I also cleaned homes and have years of experience tidying up the places of people in order to ensure their homes have a clean and fresh energy for them to thrive.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
