Hi my name is Jayleen! I am offering child care services at this time. I have been a nanny for about 5 years but have been babysitting since I was 16 and have worked with children from 4 months to 10 years old.

Mekdelawit $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mekdelawit, and I’m currently a senior at Fordham University studying Economics. I’ve been working with children since I was 12 years old and truly love what I do. I bring an energetic, easygoing, and dependable approach to every family I work with. My experience spans all age groups from newborns to pre-teens covering everything from school pick-ups and activity transportation to meal prep, homework help, and diaper changes. Alongside childcare, my background includes six years in high-touch guest relations at establishments like Little Owl and Le Coucou. That experience trained me to anticipate needs, communicate clearly, and stay calm and proactive under pressure skills that translate directly into running a smooth, well-organized household. Thanks to this background, I’m very comfortable with running errands, light housekeeping, and household management. I’m also a big animal lover! Having grown up in a multi-pet home, I am well-versed in caring for dogs, cats, reptiles (like bearded dragons), hedgehogs, betta fish, and parakeets. I’m happy to provide strong references upon request to give your family complete peace of mind. I look forward to connecting and seeing how I can best support your household!

Tachet $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Tachét I am writing to express my sincere interest in being considered for a Caregiver position with your organization. I am eager to begin working in a role where I can support others, make a positive difference in their daily lives, and continue to learn and grow professionally. I am a dependable, patient, compassionate, hardworking, and motivated individual who understands the importance of providing care with kindness, respect, and dignity. As a mother of three children, ages 4, 2, and 1, I have developed strong skills in patience, responsibility, organization, communication, and meeting the individual needs of children. Caring for my own children has strengthened my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment while managing daily routines and responsibilities. In addition to my experience as a mother, I have professional experience working with children through after-school programs and as a paraprofessional. These experiences have given me the opportunity to support children with their learning, development, daily activities, and individual needs. They have also taught me the importance of patience, understanding, teamwork, communication, and building positive relationships with the children in my care. I understand that working as a caregiver requires attentiveness, empathy, reliability, and the ability to build trusting relationships. I am comfortable assisting with daily routines, providing encouragement and support, maintaining a safe environment, and following instructions carefully. I am also willing to learn from experienced professionals and continue developing my caregiving skills. My goal is to build a meaningful career in caregiving while helping those in my care feel safe, comfortable, respected, supported, and valued. I am committed to working hard, learning new skills, and providing compassionate and dependable care. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be considered for a caregiver position. Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my experience, qualifications, and how I can contribute to your organization and the individuals you serve.

"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."
