Hi everyone! I'm a college student currently finishing my bachelor's degree in Economics, with a minor in History at Hunter College. I've always enjoyed working with children, and I have several years of experience caring for infants and toddlers, as well as a background in teaching and tutoring elementary school students. I previously worked as a second-grade teaching assistant, where I helped children strengthen their reading, writing, and learning skills. I love finding fun ways to keep children engaged, whether that's reading together, doing educational activities, playing, or simply encouraging their curiosity. I'm also fluent in English, French, and Bambara, and conversational in Spanish. I enjoy introducing children to new languages and cultures through everyday activities. I'm patient, responsible, organized, and genuinely enjoy helping families make their daily routines a little easier. I'm comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, naps, children's laundry, meal preparation, and keeping play areas clean and organized. I'm currently looking for a part-time position in Manhattan, preferably on East Harlem, the Upper East Side or Lower East Side. I'm available Monday through Thursday and would love to find a family I can build a great relationship with!
Hello! I’m bilingual (English/ Spanish) and nannied for 3 years, throughout college. I have also babysat children of all ages for >10 years. I love arts and crafts, cooking, and being outdoors. I can help with light household chores if needed. When I’m not babysitting, you can find me at my day job, volunteering at my community garden, or hanging out with friends. My rates are negotiable and depend on the level of care / responsibility needed. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have!

Hello! My name is Ashlynn and I am going into my senior year at Ohio State University. I work at Ohio State’s childcare center, through which I am CPR and First Aid certified and take care of children 0-5. I have been working there for about 3 years, and seeing the children learn and getting to know them is one of the greatest joys of my life. Outside of the center, I’ve babysat since I was 16. I’m energetic, patient, and most of all, I love kids. My primarily language is English, but I am an ASL double major at school and would love to teach your children some signs if that is something you are open to. I can’t wait to meet your family and see if we’re a great fit :)

"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."
