Hi! My name is Riley and I am a 29 y/o female from New Orleans looking to help out some families in the area! I have worked with several families in New York doing school pick-up and after school activities, helping out with dinner and and bedtime. I have experience with 3-12 year olds creating a fun environment and finding interactve activities around the city. Most recently I worked as the Art Head for a children's sleep-away camp for 7-13 year olds in Vermont. Before New York I worked in Madrid Spain where I was a 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teacher. I have also worked as a Personal Assistant in New Orleans where I was in charge of house management (grocery shopping, minor housekeeping, house organization, and pet care). I am happy to work with both cats and dogs and would love to help where I am needed!

“Our four-year-old felt comfortable with Riley right off the bat, which is not always the case with new caregivers! Riley is kind and trustworthy and we’re excited to work with her again soon. ”

Hadrien $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hadrien and I’m from Lyon, France. I speak English, French and Spanish. I recently completed my Master’s degree in France and I am currently studying at MiM for 3 months. I have 3 months of experience working in a childcare center, where I took care of children aged 1 to 14 years old. I organized activities adapted to their age, such as creative workshops, card games and board games, depending on the weekly theme. I am patient, responsible and energetic, and I really enjoy spending time with children, especially doing outdoor activities like going to the park. I am also very comfortable with pets, as I grew up with animals. I have one dog and three cats, and I love taking them out for walks and spending time with them. I would be happy to take care of your children and/or pets :)

"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."
