Booked by 3 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi all, I’m Kayla — I’m currently studying to become a grade school teacher, and working with kids is truly my passion. I lead my church’s daycare and have experience with a wide range of ages, personalities, and group sizes. I absolutely love how creative, curious, and different every child is! I’m very routine-oriented and understand how important structure and consistency are for kids to feel secure and thrive. Whether it’s homework help, playtime, crafts, meal prep, or bedtime routines, I aim to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel supported and excited. I’m patient, calm, dependable, and big on communication with parents. My goal is always to make your life easier while making sure your little ones are happy and cared for!

“I’ve known Kayla and her family for many years through our church, and she has always been such a blessing to our family. My children, Adrian and Elizabeth, absolutely loved their after-school time with her, Sunday classes, and just spending time together in general. She has a natural way with kids that makes them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Kayla has always been flexible and reliable — whether it was late nights, early pick-ups, or even helping care for the kids when they weren’t feeling well. We truly trust and love Kayla to this day. 10,000/10 — I would recommend her to any family without hesitation.”

"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."
