Hi my name is Emma and I’m a 25 year old with experience working as an educator on a farm in Connecticut and camp counselor. I love working with children. I have also worked in after-school programs and been tutoring (K-8) english and math since freshman year of high school. I am happy to drive the kids to and from activities. I also have experience doing housecleaning and yard maintenance. For indoor cleaning I am comfortable cleaning bathrooms, kitchens, dusting, vacuuming, laundry, and dishes.

Hi! My name is Maxine and I am a rising junior at Syracuse University. I study International Relations and Digital Humanities, with a minor in Spanish. I am offering services in childcare and tutoring services. I have been a babysitter all throughout high school and was a mothers’ helper in middle school and always enjoy working with kids. I can cook and can do pick-up/driving. I can help with homework and also tutor children in Spanish. Kids need to start learning a second language at a young age to obtain fluency. I love crafts, dancing, singing, and games! I am comfortable around dogs. Please reach out with any inquires or questions!

Hello! My name is Mica! I LOVE working with kids and families. I have a TON of experience and consider myself a natural caretaker with a very loving, engaged and nurturing approach. In my over 20 years of experience working as a childcare provider, I have worked for over 60 families and watched literally hundreds of children. I've worked with some families for over 10 years, watching as their family grew from one 2 year old to having four kids! From newborn to middle school, but with the majority of my experience being with newborns and infants to young elementary. My mother was a nursery school teacher and my siblings and I worked summers at their nursery school camp program, which is where I had a lot of parents asking me to babysit from there. I worked occasionally as a substitute assistant teacher at that same nursery school as well. I have a B.A. in Psychology and took classes on developmental psychology, studying attachment theory and so on. A little more about my background: I am the oldest child in my family and even amongst extended family and family friends children, so since I was a child myself I've been put in charge of watching the younger kids! But I started babysitting officially at 14. I also have young nieces and nephew who I've watched extensively as well :) I am half Japanese and grew up living in Japan at least every other summer. I speak a little Japanese and know a little Spanish as well and consider myself very culturally sensitive. I've also taken cross-cultural psychology and just have a real love of other cultures, I've worked for multiple families with immigrant parents and bilingual children :) Some personal interests are health and wellness/fitness/dance, healthy plant based cooking, volunteering, music! I sing and play a little guitar and love when the kids get excited about that as well! I drive and have my own car, I've taken children to and from every activity including doctors appointments. I've done overnights, full weekends and have traveled internationally with families. I can cook/prepare meals, help with homework where needed and do some light housekeeping as well if desired. I have experience with elderly relatives in the home with dementia, etc, and experience with pet and plant sitting. I am open and flexible! :) Feel free to ask me about anything else I may have missed! Love working with and helping families and look forward to working with yours! :) Be well and looking forward to chatting! :) -Mica

Hello! I am a loving, playful, creative professional Ballerina, Early Childhood Educator, and Nanny. I have been a regular part time nanny for multiple families in NYC for the past 10 years. (I am actually still with a family that I met when I first joined Urbansitter- through the birth of their second child and a move!) I strive to provide a loving, peaceful environment, and to nurture all areas of development for these wonderful little humans. In addition to more than a decade of hands on experience, I have been trained in childhood development through movement with Dionne Kamara, and through sensory play with Jennie Monness at Union Square Play. I have since joined the staff there as a Lead Educator and a Co-Creator of the ‘Dance! Play! Ballet!’ curriculum. I base my approach to nannying on the Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and RIE philosophies that I have been exposed to and experienced in my work. I am Infant CPR/First Aid certified.

Hey families! I’m Nia, 22 years old from The Bronx. For work I am a teacher’s assistant working my way up to become a full time teacher! Working with kids gives me a sense of purpose. I love being able to give advice to a young mind who is building their way up in the world or just being a friend and someone they can enjoy their time with. I am a pretty lively and active person with lots of energy to keep everyone happy and entertained :). The ability to connect, and teach are at the core of my work along with the mental well-being of the children I work with. I hope to share these values with the families I meet in the near future. <3
