How’s it going , When it comes to raising four boys at home, The safety awareness skills you learn while mothering your own children will stay with you throughout your life. Racing my four boys taught me the stages of childhood development and what to expect at different ages. These skills are useful when working with kids at any time in the future and especially if you are planning on working with children to make living! How to entertain children With enough motherhood skills plus caring for other children, you can have child-entertaining down to a fine art. You can quickly become a master of playing, reading, singing, drawing, improvising, and having fun. Children get sick a lot (particularly when attending childcare centers), so caring for them when they are not well is something you will pick up right away. There are many tactics to know that can make a child feel more comfortable, loved, and to help them recover quicker. You can also learn how to prevent the spread of germs and stop other people from getting sick, including yourself! Helping children to understand their emotions, manage their feelings, and learn the difference between right and wrong behavior is challenging, but it is also a rewarding experience. There are many subtleties to learn and every family may have a slightly different set of disciplinary values they wish to uphold. Sometimes children are prone to tantrums. You can learn to pre-empt trigger situations, and how to plan around them. You can learn the art of distraction (very powerful) and if a tantrum does occur, you can learn how to stay calm in stressful situations while remaining firm with your principles. Child encouragement and motivation strategies! Explaining why things need to be done! Building trust, and; Leading by example. These learned strategies can be invaluable in your day-to-day when dealing with children. I hope this answers some of your questions and please to hesitate to contact me if you are willing to meet. I have excellent references available upon request. My references can attest to my dedication, reliability, and the positive impact I have had on the children I have cared for. Have a bless day....

Booked by 62 families in Springfield Gardens, NY

Hello, my name is Amsatou! I’m a cheerful, caring, and reliable babysitter with over 8 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and children of all ages, including those with special needs. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and very organized. I love keeping kids engaged and active—whether that’s playing outside, doing creative games, reading stories, or helping them explore their imagination. I’m also CPR certified, fluent in English and French (with some Spanish and other dialects), and enjoy introducing little ones to new words and fun learning moments. I’m currently a student at Monroe College majoring in Accounting, and I previously tutored math and economics, so I’m happy to help with homework too! I also love cooking and can prepare healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks. Light housekeeping, tidying up, and even pet care are no problem. Most importantly, I take childcare as a big responsibility and pride myself on being present, dependable, and trustworthy. Your children’s safety, happiness, and growth will always be my top priority. I look forward to bringing energy, kindness, and fun to your family!

Hi, I’m Madeline. I’m new to Urbansitter and I’m offering childcare, pet care and household services. I grew up babysitting for my family and neighbors often as a teenager. I adore working with kids and spending time with them. In more recent years I’ve been working in DOE schools as a substitute teacher. Primarily in East Flatbush with elementary aged students. Over the past two years I had the pleasure of teaching with a co-teacher in one classroom. This has given me the opportunity to better see and facilitate growth in my students and create genuine bonds. I also have experience teaching art classes and afterschool classes through a local studio where my responsibilities included lesson planning, tutoring, and behavioral management. I love taking kids outside, swimming if they enjoy that, baking and doing art projects. I grew up with pets, dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. I can also cook, clean and run errands as per your needs. I am CPR/AED certified.

“Madeline cared for three of our children for two hours. She remained calm and capable during some very challenging behavior and thoughtfully checked with me about how I wanted her to respond. Her teaching experience was evident, and she was also personable and lovely to have around. I would definitely hire her again.”

Hi my name is Lorenza! I’m a recent college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in public relations and marketing communications and a minor in design, and I’ve spent over four years working as a professional nanny through an agency. I’ve cared for children from three weeks old up to fifteen years old, and I love being part of their everyday lives — watching them grow, learn new skills, and reach milestones is incredibly rewarding. I take a hands on, creative approach to nannying, making sure to include activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and active games, while always following the family’s priorities! I really enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with the children I care for and their families, and I find that patience, flexibility, and a positive attitude make every day both fun and meaningful. I am CPR certified for infants and adults and prioritize safety while keeping children active, curious, and supported. I recently moved to NYC and am excited to connect with families looking for a responsible, energetic caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with kids!

“We had a wonderful experience with Lorenza. She was incredibly professional and so sweet with our 10-month-old daughter. We felt completely at ease, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

Booked by 7 families in Springfield Gardens, NY

Hi parents! My name is Brooke and I currently work in a daycare, specializing in infant and early-toddler care. I have hands-on experience caring for babies in a structured, professional childcare environment — including feeding, diapering, bottle prep, safe sleep, tummy time, developmental play, and creating a calm, nurturing routine. I’m trained to follow proper childcare standards, safety guidelines, and communication practices. I’ve worked with infants ranging from newborns to 18 months and I’m very confident with soothing techniques, sensory activities, and understanding developmental milestones.

“Brooke was lovely to coordinate with for a last minute sit. She arrived on time, and immediately jumped into playing with my son. I lingered (first time with an evening sitter), she dis not mind. I left, she handled bedtime, when my son awoke he was devastated to find me home instead of his “new friend Brooke”. In literal tears. I was not offended, only pleased that her short first time playdate had left such a lasting impression. Would recommend in a heartbeat! ”

"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."
