I cannot say enough positive things about Arifah. She is one of those caregivers you immediately trust, and she consistently goes above and beyond for the children and families she works with. Arifah is kind, patient, and incredibly attentive, and she truly connects with the children in her care while always keeping safety and routines a top priority. What stands out most about Arifah is her calm, reassuring presence and her natural ability to read children’s needs. She is dependable, thoughtful, and communicates clearly, which gives parents real peace of mind. Whether following daily routines, engaging children in meaningful play, or handling unexpected situations, she does so with maturity and care. I would trust Arifah with my own children without hesitation. Any family who works with her will be fortunate to have such a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver.

Booked by 3 families in Maspeth, NY

Hi! I’m Dana — a NYC-based babysitter who’s new to UrbanSitter, but with over a year of part-time childcare experience for a family here in the city. I currently still work with this family on a salaried basis and am looking to pick up occasional babysitting and part-time work. The family I work with has three children, currently ages 7–12, and I’m comfortable caring for children ages 3 and up. My background also includes teaching summer camp, leading a children’s choir at church, and handling after-school pick-ups and daily routines. I’ve lived in New York City for 8 years and know the city very well. I’m extremely comfortable navigating neighborhoods, transportation, school schedules, and the general pace of city life, which helps me stay calm, organized, and reliable. In addition to childcare, I bring a wide range of professional experience, including working as a MainStage performer for Disney Tokyo and at Trader Joe’s. These roles strengthened my communication skills, dependability, and ability to stay positive, focused, and adaptable in fast-paced environments. I’m upbeat, punctual, and very engaged, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids — whether that’s doing creative activities, supporting routines, or being a steady, caring presence. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children and pride myself on clear, thoughtful communication with parents. I’d love to connect! If you’d like a reference from the family I currently work for, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to share. Please message me with any questions or to set up an interview. I look forward to meeting you and your kids!
