Hello there! I’m Lily, and I am experienced with children of all ages. I graduated with a MA in psychology from the New School for Social Research. Prior to being a childcare provider, I worked at a nonprofit that served high-risk adolescents. It made me very attuned to detail and comfortable in fast-paced, high stress environments—qualities that I believe will come in handy when caring for children. I babysat for years in NYC and SF through college and grad school. I have recently returned to UrbanSitter for occasional evening / nighttime work. CANCELLATION POLICY As compensation for lost time due to last minute cancellations, I expect 50% of the original booking amount for cancellations with less than 48 hours notice and the full amount for same day cancellations.

I also was a profesional swimmer for many years and I taught some of my kids how to swim! I’m also able to help your kids with homework since I’m studying all the time and I keep my brain active!

Hello! I am an artist with my Master's of Fine Arts in Acting from Yale, mother of two school-age children, and I have lived in NYC for four years. I'm happy around shy or high-energy children. I love finding ways to reach them that make them feel accepted and in a trusting environment. I love imaginative play, keeping schedules, and helping with homework. Siblings are great, too! Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos! I absolutely love working with children! When I lived in Texas, I founded a children's theatre camp in Texas for ages 5-18. I developed curriculum, managed scheduling and instructed every class. I have worked as a nanny for over a decade before having children of my own and now take part-time work. Some of my favorite jobs included two brothers, ages 4 and 11 who enjoyed playing adventure make-believe and basketball, respectively, who I nannied for 3 times a week for about a year before graduating. I also loved my time as a nanny for three brothers, ages 6, 9, and 12 who had packed schedules to keep after school: practicing piano, doing homework and playing soccer outdoors, who I watched for over a year. I will also never forget the family who lived in my building here in new york, whose daughters - ages 4 and newborn I watched at least once a week, sometimes more, sometimes just coming over to play and visit; ballet, painting, storytelling, and going on adventures full of imagination and play were all part of the itinerary - all while keeping to the required schedule for feeding and bedtime, of course. :) Most importantly, I have 3 siblings, including two younger brothers, both of whom I adore. I am older than the youngest by 7 years, so by the time I was 13 I not only began babysitting professionally but also proved both my responsibility and joy to play on a constant basis as I watched over my brothers. I have an 11 year old niece who is the apple of my eye. I was 16 when she was born, and my sister worked full time, so my primary job in high school was to come over after school and take over for my mom and watch my niece for the day, starting when she was a newborn to around 2.5 yrs old at 2-3 times a week for long afternoons until my sister came home. I absolutely loved it!

A little about me: I am respectful, responsible, , punctual, outgoing, and passionate about my work taking care of kids. I take things seriously and maintain a positive attitude while always trying to do my best. I love taking care of kids and taking part in activities with them indoors and outdoors. I enjoy getting to know them through fun activities and making them feel special during the time we’re together. I’m very creative and active. I may even have more energy than your treasures! I’ll be willing to help you if you want to have a date in the evening or if you want to hang out on weekends as a couple or with friends. (CPR Certified) Contact me and you won’t regret it! I can’t wait!
