Hi, I'm Bruna! I’ve worked with kids of all ages. I’ve been a summer camp counselor, subbed in schools (elementary, middle, even hs) and was a daycare/pre-school TA. I speak Portuguese and conversational Spanish if you’re interested in language exposure.
Hello! I am an experienced caregiver with years of experience working with children ages 0-12. I'd love to explore the city and do crafts with your kiddos, as well as help out with reading and homework! I have experience caring for many children, including those with special needs and those who have experienced ACEs. I'd love to contribute to your children's enrichment with fun, sensitivity, and curiosity!
Hi! My name is Leah, and I'm a 24-year-old Brooklyn-based caregiver currently preparing to start law school. I'm seeking part-time childcare work over the summer and would love to support a family during this time. I bring over six years of childcare experience, including working as an overnight camp counselor, supporting children with special needs, and providing tutoring across various subjects. These roles have helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills, as well as the ability to adapt to each child's unique personality and needs. My schedule is very flexible throughout the summer, and I'm happy to work with families to find a routine that fits best. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children I care for and creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. I look forward to chatting with you and seeing if I would be a great fit for your family's needs!
Hello! My name is Natalie and I am here to offer my services for child care, dog care, and household chores. I am newer to the Urban Sitter community, but I have 10+ experience with babysitting, as well as children's camp counseling. As an actor/writer, I bring a lot of heart, creativity, and patience to the care I provide. I am looking for part-time work, including pick ups & drop offs from school/activities, cooking/cleaning, date night babysitting, and playtime. I love kids, and I am looking forward to building trusting relationships with the families I provide care for. Additionally, I have been a dog owner for almost 15 years, so I am here for any pet-related needs as well, as I am organized, cleanly, and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I look forward to meeting you!
Hello, my name is Melanie, and I am an experienced and qualified caregiver with a genuine passion for providing exceptional care. I hold a bachelor's degree in early childhood education, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in child development and effective teaching techniques. Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of working with children of various ages, ranging from 3 years to 14 years old. Throughout my diverse experiences, I have served as a dedicated caregiver in multiple roles, including a teachers assistant, summer camp counselor, program counselor, after-school specialist, and future teacher. My expertise extends beyond childcare, as I am also adept at caring for pets and providing household services. I understand the importance of maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for both children and animals, and I am committed to ensuring their well-being. One of my key strengths is my ability to create engaging and fun activities that promote learning and development. I believe that children thrive when they are actively involved and excited about what they are doing. I take pride in designing age-appropriate activities that stimulate creativity, critical thinking, and social interaction. Reliability, flexibility, and responsibility are qualities I prioritize in my caregiving role. Parents can trust that I will be punctual and dependable, ensuring a smooth experience for both the child and the family. I understand that each child is unique, and I strive to be adaptable to their individual needs and preferences. As a caregiver, my goal is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to explore their interests. I value open communication with parents, and I am always ready to discuss any concerns or share updates on the child's progress. In summary, my qualifications, experience, and passion for caregiving make me an excellent candidate for the Urbansitter app. I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for children, pets, and assist with household services.

"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."
