Find an emergency babysitter in Astoria, NY

Hello!! I have 12 years of childcare experience with 4 of those years spent as a full-time nanny and 1 of them as a house/nanny-manager. I have experience with children ages 3 months-13 years. I prioritize safety and love to be a hands on caretaker. My favorite activities with children include reading, arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, teaching dance (I'm a dance teacher!), and encouraging creativity through fun, engaging activities. I also have experience with household management, including running errands, meal prep and cooking, laundry, light housekeeping, dog walking, and home organization. I also have experience with morning roles in getting kids ready for school/daycare in addition to transport before and after school/camps. I am recently Red Cross CPR certified. I currently work at Paul Taylor Dance Company in the education sector. I have a bachelors degree in marketing from the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business. In my free time, I love to take dance classes, create art, play with my cat, thrift, and spend time exploring the city!

Hello! I’m Naomi, a recent college grad from NYU and someone who loves spending time with children. I received my BFA in Drama and Film from NYU, so I am quite the creative person, and love doing dramatic play, music, and various world-building activities with younger children. Throughout college, I became increasingly interested in childhood development, and took many Childhood and Adolescent Mental Studies (CAMS) classes. These classes allowed me to learn more about the early development process in infants, children, and adolescents, which further my interest in early childhood education. I worked with Jumpstart while I was at NYU - a program that provided preschool aged children in underfunded schools more opportunities to learn reading and comprehension skills. I worked as a Corps Member, but learned the most as a Team Leader my senior year. As a TL, I worked with a team of corps members to plan session plans, find engaging ways to interact with children and increase their reading and comprehension skills, guide trainings and reviews of best practices for storybook readings and vocabulary lessons, and much more. I lead team meetings, prepared different effective activities, and fostered a positive learning environment. This being said, I do have a lot of experience working with 3-5 year olds in an educational setting, but also have worked with families with children ranging from 1 year to 10 years old. I myself am also an aunt to my lovely niece and nephew, and watched over them from when they were infants until them now being 3 and 1 1/2, respectively. Currently, I am the Lead Babysitter at Chelsea Piers Fitness in Flatiron. I love going on walks, doing activities, arts and crafts, and finding different ways to engage with children. I can also do light housekeeping and prep snacks/meals. I also have worked with several families outside of Urban Sitter, and can give you references if you would like :) Thank you for reading - good luck on your search!

Hi parents :) My name is McKenna and I would love to babysit for you! A little bit about me, I am originally from Kanas City and went to college at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. In high school and college, I babysat frequently for multiple families as well as worked at a daycare for six years. During my time at the daycare, I cared for children 6 weeks old to 10 years old. I received my Master's in Elementary Education and am certified to teach K-6. During my graduate year of college, I completed a year-long internship and student taught in kindergarten, third-grade, and sixth-grade classrooms. Since moving to New York, I have taught as a lead teacher in a two year old classroom at a daycare, nannied over the summer, and taught third grade for two years in the Bronx. I am currently a fourth grade teacher at a public school in the UWS. I love pets and am great with art, activities, cleaning, laundry, schoolwork, etc.

Hello there! A little bit about me 😊 I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders with the goal of becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist! I have 4 going on 5 years of experience working with children in special education, ABA, early intervention, private nannying, and childcare. Most of my experience comes from working at a school for children with autism and an early intervention center. I love keeping childcare fun, playful, and lighthearted, while also being comfortable working with a variety of behaviors, developmental needs, and communication styles. I bring patience, structure, and an educated approach while still making sure kids can be kids! I’m currently looking for a part-time position of around 20 hours a week or less. I’m especially experienced with special needs children, but am just as comfortable with typically developing children. Please reach out if we sound like a good fit! 😊

I'm Camila, new to NYC and looking for babysitter opportunities! I'm a caring and experienced babysitter with a strong background working with children of all ages. I've been babysitting for years, including supporting a child with special needs, and I'm comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. I've also worked as a Spanish teacher for kids, which I love incorporating into fun, engaging activities, and have experience in a daycare setting managing multiple children at once. I love working with children even in my professional career, where I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with child actors, producing, directing, and helping them train their performance. This has strengthened my ability to guide kids with patience, creativity, and structure. I can care for dogs/cats and light housekeeping and organizational tasks and errands. I'm patient, reliable, and truly enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where kids can learn and have fun.
