Hi! I’m Charlet! I’m originally from Portland and now a student at Fordham University here in NYC. I’ve spent the last five years caring for children from infants to age 16 through babysitting as well as some full-time nannying. Caring for kids comes naturally to me, I love to help create a warm, clean, calm, and fun environment where young people feel safe, encouraged, and excited to explore. I’m confident with daily routines, including cleaning, meals, naps, school pickups/dropoffs, bedtime, and playtime. I value clear, consistent communication with parents and always strive to support whatever rhythm works best for your family. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and truly enjoy forming long-lasting, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I’d be happy to provide references, and I’d love to connect with you and your family.

Hello! My name is Ashlynn and I am going into my senior year at Ohio State University. I work at Ohio State’s childcare center, through which I am CPR and First Aid certified and take care of children 0-5. I have been working there for about 3 years, and seeing the children learn and getting to know them is one of the greatest joys of my life. Outside of the center, I’ve babysat since I was 16. I’m energetic, patient, and most of all, I love kids. My primarily language is English, but I am an ASL double major at school and would love to teach your children some signs if that is something you are open to. I can’t wait to meet your family and see if we’re a great fit :)
Hi! I’m Luci. 😊 New to this platform and happy to provide copies of my background checks. I’m a warm and dependable babysitter with three years of experience caring for children ages 10 months to 8 years. I focus on helping kids feel safe, understood, and supported while keeping routines calm and predictable. I recently graduated from Middlebury College, where I studied psychology with a focus on child development. This background helps me support emotional regulation, communication, and positive behavior, especially for children with ADHD or on the autism spectrum. I’m certified in First Aid and CPR and have experience with homework help, simple meal prep, bathroom routines, school pick ups and drop offs, and supporting bilingual English and Spanish language development. I also love incorporating creative, screen free activities like art, movement, and imaginative play. Families describe me as patient, attentive, and reliable. I communicate clearly with parents and follow household routines closely. I’m currently seeking a part time, long term position Tuesday through Friday and am available to start ASAP. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
