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!”

I am local Children's Book author and friend of the Brooklyn community. I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Public Health. During my time at UW, I assisted in Child Developmental research where I studied the impact of social cues on 12mo children. I have a passion for serving vulnerable populations and an understanding of how early life experiences tremendously impact an individual's lifelong wellness. I have over 4 years of experience caring for multiple age groups from Infancy to Middle School in both home and classroom settings. Beyond ensuring that your child is safe and healthy, my goal is to foster a creative and fun environment. I look forward to working with you and your family!

“Brittney is extremely communicative, professional, and warm. She has done great with our little guy who can be tough to please. She is patient and kind and isn’t afraid to ask questions. I would definitely recommend her. ”

Hi families! I’m a warm, creative, and attentive caregiver who knows how to keep things fun while also creating a calm, safe, and cozy environment. I have hands-on experience caring for children from newborns through preteens (including my nephew since birth), as well as supporting seniors — I was raised by my great-grandmother and helped care for her into her late 90s, which taught me patience, gentleness, and deep attentiveness. I love bringing imagination into the day through art, reading, music, gentle play, and creative activities. I’m also very clean, organized, and respectful of the home — I enjoy light tidying, keeping spaces comfortable, and preparing simple meals when needed. I also work professionally with pets through dog walking, cat sitting, and house sitting, so your whole household is in good hands. I’m reliable, easy to trust, and I’d love to be a positive, grounding presence for your family — two-legged or four-legged. 🎨🐾

“Sage recently started working with our family. She is so amazing and wonderful, and our family is so lucky to have found her!!!!”

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."
