Hi! I have always loved kids and started babysitting when I was 11 years old. Up until I had my daughter in 1998, I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t doing some kind of work with kids: Interning in high school (Learning to Read Through the Arts, after school counselor ), volunteering (New York Foundling Hospital), assistant teacher (5 years at The Jewish Guild for the Blind early intervention program), sewing/craft instructor (home based classes). I had my daughter in 1998 and stayed home with her while caring for another child twice a week when she was small. I starting babysitting on Urban sitter to supplement my income while working on creative projects before deciding to go back to school. I completed my degree as an occupational therapy assistant and have rejoined Urban Sitter while looking for full-time work and am hoping to pick up the occasional babysitting job when I am working, as well. I am an artist at heart, love music (play a bit of guitar and sing) and truly enjoy young people. I am available on an as needed basis (date nights, filling in when your regular sitter is out, etc.) and my hours are very flexible. Please give me a call if you would like to meet me and see if I might be a good fit for your family!
“We would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone searching for a sitter. Our daughter took to her immediately and she radiates warmth and friendly energy. We were looking for someone who we felt we could rely on to follow our bedtime routine for our daughter, who's definitely in a separation-anxiety phase, and Sarah has been wonderful. We'll absolutely be hiring her again!”

I have experience with babies, toddlers and kid’s ages from 0 to 12. In 2015 I signed for an exchange program called Au pair in California where I took care of several kids from different ages and backgrounds. I lived in their homes with their parents and had to do all kinds of chores including driving them to places, helping them with homework, preparing meals and many activities day by day. In 2017 I enrolled with Care.com and worked with different families. In Urban Sitter I’ve been since 2014. I count with plenty infant experiences, 3 full-time jobs in total, from new born ages. I have First Aid, CPR and swimming training certification. I’m reliable, easy going, punctual, proactive, organized and enjoy my job because I get a long very well with kids. I count with more than 8 years of experience and excellent reviews and references. I also have a great profile in care.com with more updated reviews. Hope to hear from you soon ! Vanessa
“Vanessa helped us go to a wedding recently. She watched two 2 yr olds and a 4 mo old. She fed them dinner and got them all to bed. My daughter, who is notoriously slow to warm (just ask her grandpa!) took to Vanessa immediately, holding her hand and playing with her. She woke up the next morning telling us she liked Vanessa. Vanessa was great with our girls, punctual and responsive when we were checking in. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for childcare!”

Hi! I’m Tanha, and have been babysitting for most of my life. I grew up as one of the oldest, with tons of littles around at any given time, I still have little cousins under 5 years old to watch. I also have little nephews that I absolutely adore. Holding a college degree, I'm experienced in caring for children aged 0-11, and comfortable with up to three children at a time. I'm patient, creative, and always approachable. I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities, and reading together. I prioritize open communication with you, using your preferred method to discuss your child's day. I'm also comfortable following your household rules. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe and enriching environment where your children can thrive, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a part of your family's support system. I love cats and dogs and am comfortable being around them, I have 2 of my own sweet kitties. I am also very clean and tend to tidy up when I have downtime
“Tanha was a great fit for us! She and my daughter hit it off instantly. She was pleasant and attentive to my daughter and helped her with her bedtime routine. They bonded over their love of animals. Would def book her for childcare help again. ”
