Hello, I'm Alexa, a dedicated caregiver with a passion for working with children! I am currently pursuing a bachelors degree in Psychology at Brooklyn College. I have several years of experience ranging from working with infants to elementary aged children. I have worked with children of various backgrounds. I also have experience as a teaching assistant and with special needs children as well. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am a big animal lover as I have a dog and two cats of my own and do not mind pets! My commitment to success drives me to provide the best care possible. I find joy in watching children flourish under my guidance. I can provide great references! **Willing to work in NYC and Long Island areas**

Hi! My name is Diana, I’m 24 years old, and I’m bilingual. I currently work full-time as a Program Director for adults with disabilities, which has given me years of experience providing care, support, patience, and understanding to individuals with different needs. I have 2 years of experience caring for children and babies, including toddlers and children with disabilities. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, playtime, meals, bedtime, or simply being an extra set of helping hands for busy parents, I always strive to provide the best care possible. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive, trusting relationship with both you and your children!
Hello! I am a graduate student studying for my degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. I am looking for a part-time job outside of my career to help pay for my student loans. I have been familiar with childcare since I was 13 years old! I have been caring for my siblings after school, neighborhood kids, and also infants in my family. I know people don’t typically take familial gigs seriously, but these were paid. In these babysitting jobs, I’d be responsible for bathing, doing homework, entertaining, cooking, and putting the child to sleep. I’d also do cleanly duties around the house to keep it tidy for the parents to come home. I also do have experience in working in a children’s day camp. In the day camp, I was responsible for teaching the children, caring for their safety, taking them on field trips, and taking care of their dietary needs. I have immense attention to detail and adaptability, so if you need any services that I haven’t mentioned, please feel free to talk to me about it. I am fine with pets. I am just unfamiliar with precise care, so as long as directions are provided I’d be good to go. I do have an allergy to cats. However my severity depends on the breed and my proximity to the cat. I’d love to work with you! Hope to hear from you soon.

"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."
