Booked by 6 families in Springfield Gardens, NY

Hi there! My name is Chantal, and I’m a recent graduate of NYU Wagner currently working part-time at a nonprofit organization. Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I’m available for part-time, occasional, evening, and weekend babysitting. Working with children has always been one of the most joyful and meaningful parts of my life. I love building trusting relationships with children, encouraging their curiosity, and creating spaces where they feel safe, supported, and free to explore the world around them. My experience includes: • Nannying children from 3 months to 12 years old, with most of my experience being with children ages 2–6. I have worked long-term nanny positions as well as one-time babysitting, school pickups, evening care, and overnight care. • Working as an English-Spanish bilingual tutor in an elementary school, supporting children ages 6–8. • Serving as a sleepaway camp counselor for 5–6-year-old girls, where I completed training in CPR, First Aid, and water safety. I enjoy creating engaging experiences tailored to each child’s interests—whether that’s trips to the park, museums, libraries, or neighborhood adventures, as well as imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, and sensory activities at home. I highly value outdoor time and believe childhood should be full of joy, creativity, wonder, and opportunities to learn through play. ✨ I’m also happy to provide: • Homework help and tutoring • Snack and meal preparation (omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan) • Pet care and assistance around the home • Support with public transit and practicing age-appropriate safety skills I am fluent in English and Spanish, conversational to near-fluent in Italian, and conversational in American Sign Language (ASL). I’m comfortable working in homes with pets of any kind and would love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meeting! I look forward to meeting you and your little ones. 🫶🏼😊

“Chantal regularly babysits our son after school. She's super trustworthy, communicative, and easy going. I'm usually busy at work when she's with our son out and about in manhattan, sometimes on the subway. I'm able to to focus on work and not worry about our son during this time, because he's always in great hands with Chantal!”

Hi! My name is Kaidy- I graduated with a B.S. from West Virginia University in 2013, then continued to take classes towards a Master’s degree in Education shortly after. I have worked both as a preschool teacher and a full-time nanny since then. I am offering childcare, such as nanny and babysitting, and pet services. I’ve always loved taking care of kids; I started babysitting at 11 years old and continued that career path through my adulthood. I’ve worked with children off all ages ranging from infants and toddlers (including twins!), all the way through high school age. I have the education and training to care for all different types of children through my work as a Paraprofessional; this includes children with developmental, behavioral, and/or learning disabilities as well as children with autism. In my previous nannying experience, my responsibilities with the children have included (but are not limited to): driving or using public transit to take children to school, museums, parks/playgrounds, and sports; daily arts and crafts; STEM experiments; teaching phonics, basic math, writing skills, and homework help; integrating music through guitar, song and dance; and creating engaging, and often educational, daily games. Additionally, I offer household services to the families I work with, such as: laundry, cleaning general play areas, cooking meals, and running errands. I have both a dog and a cat at home- I love animals! So I am offering pet care services as well. I am trained and certified in infant/child/adult CPR & First Aid, and I have utilized my skills several times working with children. I have successfully preformed the Heimlich Maneuver on separate occasions for a baby and a toddler, as well as identified the signs of a child experiencing an asthma attack and immediately used their rescue inhaler. I have also administered regular medication to children (and pets!) and I feel totally comfortable doing so. I don’t have any children of my own, but I grew up the oldest of 30 first cousins and I have absolutely loved being able to care for them, as well as children of any age and background; to see them grow, and help them flourish, is an honor that I don’t take lightly. I am confident in creating a fun, engaging, and educational experience for your little ones. I hope to show your family the compassion and strong work ethic that I have to offer!

Booked by 10 families in Springfield Gardens, NY

Hi there! I’m Debra, a sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I’ve cared for children across ages, from infants to school-aged, and I like building little routines and activities that keep them engaged: crafts, reading, a trip to the park or library, or just good play. I offer babysitting and childcare, plus help with light household tasks like tidying and organizing as I go. I’m comfortable with the full range of day-to-day care: feeding, naps, bedtime routines, and homework help for older kids. I bring a calm, dependable presence and pay attention to the details. I’m reliable, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. I currently get around by transit, so I’m a great fit for families who don’t need driving. Outside of sitting, I love reading, singing, traveling, and a bit of interior decorating, interests I happily fold into creative time with kids. I’d love to meet your family and learn how I can help. Thanks for considering me!

"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."
