Hello, My name is Hayley. I received my master’s in occupational therapy, working with both children and adults. In pediatrics, I help with developmental milestones, language skills, and fine/gross motor skills. I’ve worked with clients ages 0-16 years old. I was also a certified ABA therapist for 2 years, working with children with autism, focusing on developing communication, social skills, and life skills. I have background and knowledge on proper positioning, feeding, tummy time, and developmental stages for infants. I have been a child care provider for families for 13 years and have been an Urbansitter for almost 10 years. I am CPR certified (infant CPR certified as well). I have a 4 hour minimum policy for bookings. Currently, I am doing occasional evenings and date nights. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Best, Hayley
With over 15+ years of experience in child care, I bring a deep commitment to nurturing and educating children in both home and school environments. I hold a degree in Elementary Education from Saint Peter's University, along with an Early Childhood Teacher Certification from the state of New Jersey. My background includes extensive experience in classroom settings, as well as roles in back-up child care and private nannying. I’m passionate about supporting each child’s development through patience, creativity, and a warm, engaging approach. Whether in a structured learning environment or a more flexible home setting, I strive to create a safe, joyful space where children can thrive. In addition to child care, I also offer dependable pet care and home cleaning services. I'm comfortable with a variety of pets and take pride in providing gentle, reliable care tailored to their needs. When it comes to home cleaning, I focus on creating organized, tidy spaces so families can enjoy a clean and stress-free environment. I’m here to help make daily life a little easier—whether that means caring for your children, pets, or home—with professionalism and heart.
Resume Link:[removed] Hi, my name is Lindsey! I love working with children of all ages, especially infants and toddlers! I have an associate degree in early childhood education from Sauk Valley Community College and plan to pursue a bachelor's degree in the future. I have experience as a summer and after-school counselor, working with kids aged K-5th grade, and, most recently, as a full-time assistant daycare teacher in a 15-30 month classroom. I would also occasionally work in the daycare infant room when needed. One of the main reasons I love working with children is their innate love for exploration, creativity, and learning; just like myself! I believe that children need a strong, safe, and trustworthy support system to thrive, and I will provide all of those qualities. I love to sing, dance, read, write, craft, explore new places, and spend time in nature; all of which are traits that I directly apply when working with children. Furthermore, I am deeply passionate about teaching children age-appropriate emotional intelligence and regulation. While working in daycare, I taught my toddlers the names and feelings of different emotions, breathing exercises, how to find a trusted adult in times of emotional distress, how to say to a peer “Stop!” and “I do not like that!”, healthy ways to express anger, frustration, or other “upset” emotions without physically harming oneself or others, and where to find a safe and calm space to “calm their body.” For me, helping a child grow emotionally is incredibly rewarding, and I am ready and willing to nurture this growth with every child I work with. In addition to childcare, I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons or similar reptiles, hedgehogs, beta fish, and parakeets (my family has had lots of pets over the years!). Additionally, having worked multiple customer service jobs and maintained the cleanliness of a toddler classroom, I am highly experienced in housekeeping services and running errands.
Hi, I’m Maria! I’m an NYC-based childcare provider with 10+ years of experience caring for children of different ages across the city. I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with after-school routines, homework help, dinner, bedtime, and evening care. I’m currently available for occasional care. Availability: • Open availability Sunday–Wednesday • Thursdays before 4 PM • After-school care Monday–Thursday, depending on schedule • Date nights & evening care throughout the week • Friday & Saturday evenings with advance notice I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistency while creating a comfortable environment where children feel cared for and parents can feel at ease. Whether you’re looking for consistent weekly support, after-school care, or a trusted sitter for a night out, I’d love to connect! 🌿
“She was communicative and followed instructions perfectly!”
Hi families! My name is Natasha, and I recently graduated from Bank Street College of Education with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I have experience working as a preschool teacher, nanny, babysitter, and in after-school programs. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and needs, including school pickup/drop-off, evening care, overnight care, and weekend babysitting. I also have experience supporting children with special needs, including autism, sensory processing differences, and deafblindness. My background in early childhood and special education helps me create a patient, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel safe and encouraged to grow. I love planning fun and meaningful activities such as imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, sensory activities, and outdoor adventures. One of my favorite parts of working with children is watching their confidence, creativity, and curiosity grow as they learn about the world around them. In my free time, I enjoy reading, building Legos, and visiting museums. I look forward to connecting with your family!
“Natasha arrived on time and enthusiastic to care for our son. She kept him entertained with many activities and stuck to his daily schedule. She sent updates during the day to keep us reassured. Would definitely book her again!”
