About Me Hi, my name is Pamela, and I’m a caring, responsible, and trustworthy child care provider. I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable and supported. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on children’s well-being and safety. Families often describe me as a “Mary Poppins type” nanny nurturing, dependable, and always prepared with creativity, structure, and a calm presence (minus the disappearing act) Child Care Services I offer reliable child care services for families who need someone dependable and compassionate. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, supervising playtime, assisting with meals, and ensuring children are safe and well cared for at all times. Experience With Children I have experience caring for children and enjoy engaging them in age-appropriate activities such as reading, creative play, games, and outdoor activities. I’m patient and understanding, and I make sure each child feels heard, respected, and cared for. Certifications & Training I am CPR and First Aid certified, which allows me to respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. Child safety is always my top priority. Why Choose Me I take pride in being dependable, punctual, and kind. Parents can trust that their children will be cared for in a safe, attentive, and loving environment.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Ms. Pamela provided for our kids! From the very first day, she was engaging, responsible and brought such a positive energy to our home. Our kids absolutely loved spending time with her! Whether it was playing games, doing crafts, or just chatting about their day, they were always excited to have Ms Pamela around! We also appreciated the clear communication and how she kept us updated with little details about what the kids were up to. Made us feel comfortable knowing our children were in such great hands we highly recommend Ms. Pamela to anyone in need of trustworthy and caring sitter we’ll definitely be asking for her again!”
I am a Professional Nanny with over 15 years experience taking care of children of all ages, including multiple siblings at the same time. I take care of all children as if they were my own. I am nurturing, caring, and will always have their best interest in mind. I always look forward to meeting with parents to truly customize the experience, after all, no 2 kids are the same! Discussions include food preferences, personal habits, restrictions, etc. Maintaining a safe and positive environment is very important to me. I enjoy preparing various activities, playing games, and meal preparation. I can be available to help with laundry, grocery shopping, assist your children with their studies as well as assist in pick ups and drop offs as needed. I know it's not easy to leave your children alone with someone new, but rest assured, they will be in great, comforting, and patient hands. I look forward to meeting with you and your family soon!
Hi - My name is Kelly and I'm currently a sophomore at SUNY Purchase. I am offering child care, pet care, and light cleaning duties. I was a three sport athlete for most of my life and have helped take care of my 7 year old cousin from age 1-present as well as my new baby niece who is 4m.
I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.
“Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!”
Hi - My name is Makayla and I'm currently a home health aide. I am offering child care and senior care.

My responsibilities have included potty training, crafts, tutoring, and outside activities. I have been a caretaker for two years now and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook meals, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I am happy to work with families with dogs.

"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."
