Hi! My name is Haley and I am a 26 years old with bachelor degree in psychology and a minor in Education from UCSC. I have 10 years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages. I also have a elementary school teaching credential. I have worked at summer camps and after school programs as well.
Hi I'm Hannah!. I'm a former preschool and kindergarten teacher, experienced sitter looking for a part time, weekend or occasional evening gig. I work in theatrical and live events. When not doing so, I support kiddos and their families. I am a licensed driver but am also happy to walk anywhere or use a subway. I’m CPR & first aid certified. I’m a recent Yale graduate with a masters degree in stage management. After working in a preschool during the pandemic, I worked in a Chicago area preschool classroom for almost two years in both the 2-12 month and 4 & 5 year old classrooms. In the spring of 2020; I graduated with a BA in early childhood, elementary education, and theatre. I am passionate and emphatic about viewing and valuing the child as a capable individual with a sense of agency. Throughout the years, I've had the opportunity to work with kids of many different backgrounds, encouraging them to engage through a sense of play, confidence and individualism. My experiences as a teacher, nanny, facilitator and graduate professor and taught me about teamwork, collaboration, problem solving and I am not adverse to cleaning up Legos or Shopkins that litter your living room. Nor am I afraid of a dirty diaper or any other messes your little one may make. I am also experienced with children of all different needs and abilities.
“Hannah is amazing! She is super communicative and really plays with the kids. She also helped with school pickup and navigated all of the logistics of that easily. I have three kids from 4 up to 9 who can be a handful and she was great with them, they have declared her the “best babysitter ever”! Highly recommend!”
*****Taking a few weeks off from bookings to focus on a recovering from a health flare up. Will hopefully begin taking bookings again around 9/15. Thank you for understanding**** *****Please note: I am immunocompromised and have an autoimmune disease so I cannot watch sick children and must limit time outside in extremely hot weather. Hi! I'm Ali. I’m originally from Seattle and moved to New York in 2015 to study acting. I joined UrbanSitter during college and have been using it as my day job ever since. I have 18 years of childcare experience, ranging from date nights and private nannying to daycare and summer camps. Over the last four years I have began working in arts education as a teaching artist and youth theater director. I’m the 2nd oldest of 10 so I’ve been around young kids my entire life and am used to watching multiple kids at once. Due to being CPR and First Aid certified since I was 12, I’ve gained years of experience watching kids with varying disabilities and medical conditions, and am very familiar with working with children who are autistic, have epilepsy, or have life threatening food allergies. My go to activities are coloring, board games, going to the park, reading, movies, and arts and crafts. Outside of childcare, I am an actor, writer, and run an indie theater/production company. I’ve spent the pandemic studying trauma informed, consent based rehearsal spaces and mental health first aid. Both of these skills have been easily transferable to my childcare work. I have experience teaching at after school programs using the Montessori Method and have been working more as a teaching artist lately, doing theater and improv with kids. Cancellation policy: cancellation less than 24 hours my policy is full payment. If it’s within 72 hours, it’s half the agreed payment, and more than 72 there isn’t a fee. If you come home more than 15 minutes late with no communication I reserve the right to charge a late fee on top of that extra time. If you come home early I still charge for the full time booked since I had to block that time out in my calendar, unless we’ve agreed on it beforehand.
I’m an experienced caretaker and housekeeper with a strong background in caring for children and adults both on and off the spectrum ( including diabetes, autism, and ADHD) Currently working as enrichment teacher at bilingual French speaking daycare center part-time. (2:45pm till 6pm weekdays) I’m CPR/First Aid certified and background checked (through the daycare system and urbansitter ). *Can provide proof of authenticity* Also enrolled to school for Early Childhood Education Bachelors birth-2nd grade starting in the fall. In addition to childcare, I offer house care cleaning services. I have a knack for cleaning and organizing from a young age and take great pride in doing every job—big or small—with care, efficiency, and attention to detail. I consider myself a patient, loving, and precise caregiver/housekeeper. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the services I offer, please feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect and set up an interview! Have a blessed one everyone.
Hey there, future families! I'm Vashti, and I'm excited to introduce myself. I've had the pleasure of caring for little ones from toddlers to teens, making each day an adventure. I'm here for tweekends when you need an extra hand, and if my schedule allows, I'd love to help out on date nights too. In my free time, you'll often find me aimlessly strolling through the city, and pedaling on a trusty Citibike. Just a friendly heads-up: if our day together stretches past 10:00 pm, I'd appreciate your help covering half of my Uber ride home. Looking forward to getting to know your family better! 😊
