Hello families! I am a third grade teacher living in Brooklyn. I have been a full time teacher for ten years and have over fifteen years of experience working with elementary and middle school age children in classroom and home settings. I began working with children when I started babysitting my toddler twin cousins, and have worked in education and childcare for over ten years. I currently teach fourth grade in Brooklyn. I’ve previously taught first grade, third grade, and K-12 art therapy. I am excited to work with all ages of children, and love to engage in their favorite activities with them. Thanks so much for reading, I look forward to working with you! Best, Leanne

Hi, ********(Please don’t send a booking request before you first message me. I work as a substitute teacher, so I’m not available for short-notice bookings at this time.) ******* My name is Woodlyn, and I am currently a substitute teacher. I have been working with families and children for over a decade. I have always possessed a natural aptitude for caregiving and a profound passion for working with children. As a wife and mother, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Montclair State University. I am characterized by my trustworthiness, responsibility, passion, and patience. Additionally, I am active and possess a high level of energy that children find endearing. I would be honored to provide childcare and nurturing for families. I am capable of taking children to various destinations, including parks, museums, ice skating arenas, and any sports practices (such as those offered by the YMCA, JCC, indoor, and outdoor facilities). I am highly engaging with children of all ages, even when managing multiple children simultaneously.

Hello! I am a loving, playful, creative professional Dancer (Ballet, Contemporary, Tango), Teacher, and Part-Time Nanny. I grew up in a family of 6 ( 2nd oldest). I have been a regular part time nanny for multiple families in NYC for the past 9 years. (I am actually still with a family that I met when I first joined Urbansitter- through the birth of their second child and a move!) I strive to provide a loving, peaceful environment, and to nurture all areas of development for these wonderful little humans. In addition to more than a decade of hands on experience, I have been trained in childhood development through movement with Dionne Kamara, and through sensory play with Jennie Monness at Union Square Play. I have since joined the staff there as a Lead Educator and a Co-Creator of the ‘Dance! Play! Ballet!’ curriculum. I base my approach to nannying on the Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and RIE philosophies that I have been exposed to and experienced in my work. I am Infant CPR/First Aid certified.
