I have experience working with seniors, in medical settings as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA,) and outside medical settings as a graduate student clinician of speech-language pathology & in caretaking for senior neighbors and relatives. In my work as a CNA, I obtained thorough experience in assisting with activities of daily living, including bathing, feeding, grooming and hygiene, toileting, and more! I have extensive experience working with individuals with disabilities of all types. My work as a CNA, as well as 4+ years in the service industry, have given me experience in household services, and I pride myself on giving every job my 110%.

I’m a 27-year-old childcare provider based in Jersey City, New Jersey, and I work in New York City. I’m currently seeking part-time work in nearby areas. I have over 10 years of experience providing childcare for children ranging from 10 months to 12 years old. I am also fluent in English and Spanish. I enjoy engaging children in outdoor activities, museum visits, arts and crafts, and board games. In addition to childcare, I have experience with light cleaning and meal preparation for children. I also offer house-sitting and pet-sitting services.
Hi, I’m Alexandra, 26 years old. I’m a responsible, friendly, and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience looking after kids of all ages, from babies to teens. I love getting creative with crafts and games, and I’m always happy to help out with cooking and light household tasks. Most of my experience comes from babysitting nieces and nephews of different ages, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. While I don’t hold a formal CPR/first-aid certification, I completed first-aid training in school and I’m always alert and prepared when caring for children. I’m available for morning shifts and on Saturdays, or at night after 8 PM. One recent family shared this about our time together: “Completely satisfied — she kept our son entertained for 7 hours straight with lots of variety. Impressively good.” (5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) I’d love the chance to meet your family and help care for your little ones!

"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."
