Hi! My name is Samantha and I am looking forward to meeting you and your family! I am originally from the UK but I have lived in the city now for 15 years. I am a college Graduate with a degree in Education and I have been a regular babysitter for family and friends since the age of 16. I have fantastic experience caring for children of all ages. My current 9-5 job is as the Director of a program for children aged birth-21 with developmental disabilities in the foster care system so I also go into their homes regularly. It is my responsibility to assess their needs and ensure they are getting the services they need. I am available evenings after 5pm and weekends. Any questions please feel free to reach out. I also have background checks from my current job which I can provide to families upon request and I am certified in CPR and First Aid.

“Great job thanks so much!!”

Booked by 8 families in West New York, NJ

Hello! It’s a pleasure, my name is Lina! I have 4 years of babysitting experience. I’ve worked with 30+ families with children ranging from 0-10 years old through Sittercity, UrbanSitter, and local opportunities. I live in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. I’ve been around children for most of my life since my mother was a nanny for 20+ years. I’m also a mother to an adorable 3 year old. I consider myself a kind, reliable, responsible, and attentive individual. I’m currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, as I have a passion for working with children. I’m bilingual, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I'm also CPR, First Aid & AED certified. I’m available for occasional evening/date night opportunities. Thank you!

“My husband and I had the pleasure of hiring Lina to babysit our four-year-old for a few hours on a Saturday evening so we could go see a movie together. We were incredibly impressed with her professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm. From the moment she arrived, she connected with our son, and we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Her background in Early Childhood Education and her experience as a mother are clearly a huge asset, as she seemed to know exactly how to engage him in a fun way. In addition to being a fantastic playmate, Lina was incredibly responsible and attentive. We truly felt that she was present and focused on his needs the entire evening.”

Hi, thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I graduated from college in 2024 and am currently working full-time at a law firm. I have lots of experience working with children (infants as young as 2 months old to 11 years old) whether it be through nannying, volunteer organizations, summer camps, and in the classroom. Currently, I babysit for one-year old twins, sibling toddlers that are four and two, and a four-month old baby. Lastly, I grew up swimming competitively up until my senior year of high school (and have coaching experience) so am also comfortable at the swimming pool. I am available in the evenings and anytime during the weekend. I look forward to hearing from you!
