Booked by 20 families in Poughkeepsie, NY

Hi, I'm Megan. I'm a writer and experienced nanny and babysitter looking for part-time or occasional jobs in Westchester or Manhattan! Previously, I was a nanny for a sweet 2 year old, working five days a week with him doing snacks, lunch, nap time, and lots of playtime and outdoor exploring. And I’ve been a daily after school/after camp babysitter for kids ages 8-12. I’ve also worked as a group teacher at an after school program, caring for kids in kindergarten through fourth grade. I've been babysitting since I was a teenager—through high school, college, and grad school. I have experience with kids aged 10 months-12 years, and I love crafts, games, and playing sports with kids. I’m also certified in CPR, anaphylaxis response, and school-age child health and safety. In my spare time I enjoy tennis, visiting museums, and bingeing tv. I'm looking forward to meeting new families -- please contact me if you have any questions!

“Megan was warm, professional and clearly very experienced with caretaking for children.”

"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."
