Hello! My name is Shay and I am a warm, conscientious, communicative, and emotionally intelligent nanny with a Mary Poppins-esque touch and over 10 years of in-home care experience. I am passionate about child development and dedicated to nurturing kind, curious, and resilient young humans. I am from San Francisco, California, and have been living in New York City for the past 5 years pursuing acting. In that time, I've worked primarily with two families each with three children. I have experience with children experiencing major life transitions (just moving to NYC from another country with another language and learning english for the first time at 3 years old), children with gross motor, fine motor, and speech delays with multiple therapists and S.E.I.T.'s, children with ADD, and newborns joining the family. I am also an educator at Cocoon (Membership-based social clubs welcoming families to learn, play & grow together) and teach music, art, preschool prep, and dance for children ages 6 months to 36 months. It has been my true joy to have as many relationships with families and children as I do. I treasure the moments rolling around on the floor laughing with elementary schoolers, when a 16 month old walks over to me to give a hug for the first time when I come to the door, or when baby wakes up and we have a cuddle before discovering what the rest of the day has in store for us. My strength comes from remembering how my parents treated me with so much love and patience when I was a kid. I have a true interest and curiosity for child development. I have a love for Montessori and fostering independence in children. I bring joy, energy, and a breadth of knowledge from babysitting and nannying for over 10 years with hundreds of families. I am always available for phone or in person interviews. My calendar is almost always up to date. My resume and reference letters are available upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family! Best, Shay

Hi there! I'm Kendall, a date-night sitter with 20 years of experience. While I appreciate your interest, I have no availability for full-time, part-time jobs or jobs during the day, because I have a 9-5 job as a product manager. Fully vaccinated (boosted Dec 2021, Oct 2022). Specialties: date nights, travel sitting (in hotels and Airbnbs), ages newborn to 3 I absolutely love working with kids. I started babysitting when I was 11 years old as a mother's helper for a family on my block, and kept babysitting for several families all through high school. I have experience with kids of all ages, from 6 week old newborns to 12 year old middle schoolers. I used to lead a dance company for kids with physical disabilities, so I am big on movement as well! If it's nice out, I also love taking kids outside to play. I have experience working with kids who have autism and Down syndrome. I have worked on UrbanSitter on and off since 2014, and have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing families. I understand the hesitation in booking a babysitter online, but I've found great relationships and mentors in many of the families I've sat for. Thanks for reading and I'd be happy to talk with you soon.

Hi! My name is Nisa. I am currently working as a part time nanny, but I have been a babysitter for over 15 years and I have loved every minute of it. I am a recreational ballet dancer who enjoys puzzles and painting. I am also extremely creative and I love coming up with new and fun adventures for kids to enjoy. I hate for children to be bored, so I like to do arts and crafts projects, read and sing to them, play card and board games, pretend play, bake with them, and go to the park. I even have a recipe for homemade play dough! I have also been an after school teacher for children, grades K-5 and I am currently studying to become a Newborn Care Specialist. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and pre-teens and I love connecting with each child on their level. I am naturally drawn to children which is why I love to spend time with them and be a part of their lives. I formerly worked as a cook and baker so I don't mind cooking and baking for/with the kids as well. I am currently CPR/First Aid certified and I have excellent references. Hopefully, I will be a great fit for your family. I look forward to meeting you! ** Please message me for my rates for any HOUSEHOLD SERVICES. Feel free to reach out to me for kitchen and bathroom cleaning, laundry, as well as pantry, closet, and general home organization. Thank you!**
