Hi families! Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my profile☺️ My name is Kailyn, or just Kay! I am currently seeking part time, occasional, along with date night positions. New to UrbanSitter, however on multiple other platforms! I recently was a sitter to 2 girls on the UES (9&12)! I have experience from ages 3m -13y, Including children with ASD, Cerebral Palsy, and Down syndrome( UP syndrome✨)I have been employed at a sensory center, and I've also worked with long term families and enjoy building lasting relationships✨Caregiving has always been a part of my day to day, being the “babysitter” for family friends. So, naturally, I turned to childcare as a profession rather than a “hobby” at the age of 15! I am very personable, compassionate and caring and always take communicating with both parents and child(ren) as a priority. Some of the things I enjoy to do with my minis; I do like to go on a walk(weather permitting), play at the park, do arts/crafts, the library(Amazing classes+📚). Of course, I am open to follow which ever activities you would like me do with your child(ren).In addition to childcare, I am more than happy to lend a hand with household assistance, whether it is running errands, cooking(*When cooking in your home I am open and more than happy to accommodate dietary needs*) and/or tidying up around and laundry. I also love pets so a hand with pet care is not a problem; dog/cat sit, walk/feed :) ! I'm always looking forward to connecting with new families. It's important that we both feel we're the right match for one another! If you have any questions, please let me know, I look forward to hearing from you! Interests outside of caregiving⚖️- Content creation, trying new food places, shopping, wellness, brooklyn bridge pier walks, ALL the museums🖼️🎨🤖 - Spanish language speaker🇩🇴 -Basic Sign language 🤟🏽 References available upon request.

I’m Ana, an energetic and experienced nanny who is passionate about creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. Transforming everyday playtime into engaging learning adventures is one of my specialties! Whether we’re building magnificent LEGO castles, creating arts and crafts, or designing our own comic books, I believe in making every moment meaningful and memorable. Over the last 9 years as a full-time nanny, I’ve proudly adapted to each family’s unique needs and parenting styles. In addition to my nanny experience, I am also a certified Home Health Aide (HHA), which has strengthened my caregiving skills, patience, attentiveness, and ability to provide compassionate support in a variety of situations. I have experience working with children of all abilities, including children with disabilities, developmental delays, autism, ADHD, and social-emotional challenges. I am experienced in administering prescribed daily medications, supporting therapeutic routines, and creating an inclusive, understanding, and nurturing environment where every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I strongly believe in helping children develop healthy coping skills, confidence, independence, and emotional regulation through patience, consistency, creativity, and compassion. My priority is always making sure children feel loved, understood, and able to thrive at their own pace. I understand the importance of trust when inviting someone into your home, and I strive to become a reliable extension of your family. I have years of experience working with children ranging from infancy through high school, providing homework help, engaging in creative and educational activities, maintaining structured routines, preparing nutritious meals, and keeping play and learning areas organized and tidy. I’m a quick learner, highly adaptable, and flexible with scheduling, including being available for last-minute bookings when needed. I especially have a soft spot for babies and toddlers and truly love watching them grow, learn, and develop throughout the years. Building lasting bonds with children and families is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I’m excited to connect and discuss how my experience, energy, and passion for childcare can benefit your family :)

Anna did a wonderful job babysitting my 3-year-old. She was patient, attentive, and made sure my child felt comfortable and happy the entire time. Anna followed instructions well, kept my child engaged with age-appropriate activities, and communicated clearly with me. I felt completely at ease knowing my child was in her care, and I would happily recommend her to other families.

Hello my name is Angelica. I'm currently majoring in Early Childhood at Queens College. I look forward to completing my schooling and becoming an elementary school teacher. I currently work for Kindercare as a lead teacher. I love interacting with kids, playing games, and doing indoor/outdoor activities with them. I enjoy being surrounded by children because of their imagination and creativity. I am a creative person who enjoys making crafty items and exploring sensory activities using safe materials for children. I love listening to music of all different genres, reading non-fiction books, dancing, and meeting people of all different cultures. I am very skilled in supervising activities of children of different ages while providing them with ongoing care and a safe environment. I pay special attention to detailed instructions that vary from family to family. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones.

I grew up in a small town in Missouri and attended the University of Missouri-Columbia. I graduated with a degree in Theatre. I am the oldest in my family and took care of my younger brothers, as well as younger cousins, growing up. From age 13 through high school, I babysat for a local family who had six kids all between the ages of 7 and newborn. I taught dance through high school and my first two years of college. I taught 3-5 year olds as well as pre-teens and teenagers. I am happy to help with homework and projects or anything else they may need!

MK was so lovely and kind. She arrived on time, the kids really enjoyed playing with her and she went above and beyond by even tidying up a bit. Great babysitter, would absolutely hire again!

Hi, I’m Lucia! Brooklyn has been my home for over a decade, though I’m originally from California. As the eldest of three and the first grandchild among 30 cousins, I’ve been caring for children of all ages for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after wonderful kids, ages 1.5–16, and many families have told me I became their child’s favorite sitter—the highest compliment I could hope for! I love getting to know each child’s unique personality and tailoring activities to what excites them most—whether that’s baking cookies, arts & crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors. My focus is always to keep little ones safe, happy, and engaged. Families describe me as punctual, kind, patient, fun, and fully present. Please feel free to check my references—they’re filled with kind words from families I’ve had the privilege to work with. I would be honored to care for your child and create a nurturing, playful space where they can thrive. I look forward to connecting! Warmly, Lucia

Lucia was awesome! Super sweet and punctual. We will hire her again!
