Find an emergency babysitter in Astoria, NY

Hi there! I'm Kendall, a date-night sitter with 20 years of experience. While I appreciate your interest, I have no availability for full-time, part-time jobs or jobs during the day, because I have a 9-5 job as a product manager. Fully vaccinated (boosted Dec 2021, Oct 2022). Specialties: date nights, travel sitting (in hotels and Airbnbs), ages newborn to 3 I absolutely love working with kids. I started babysitting when I was 11 years old as a mother's helper for a family on my block, and kept babysitting for several families all through high school. I have experience with kids of all ages, from 6 week old newborns to 12 year old middle schoolers. I used to lead a dance company for kids with physical disabilities, so I am big on movement as well! If it's nice out, I also love taking kids outside to play. I have experience working with kids who have autism and Down syndrome. I have worked on UrbanSitter on and off since 2014, and have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing families. I understand the hesitation in booking a babysitter online, but I've found great relationships and mentors in many of the families I've sat for. Thanks for reading and I'd be happy to talk with you soon.

Hello families! I am a third grade teacher living in Brooklyn. I have been a full time teacher for ten years and have over fifteen years of experience working with elementary and middle school age children in classroom and home settings. I began working with children when I started babysitting my toddler twin cousins, and have worked in education and childcare for over ten years. I currently teach fourth grade in Brooklyn. I’ve previously taught first grade, third grade, and K-12 art therapy. I am excited to work with all ages of children, and love to engage in their favorite activities with them. Thanks so much for reading, I look forward to working with you! Best, Leanne

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.

Hello NYC (and traveling) Families, I have 17+ years of childcare experience, including several years working in NYC charter schools. I am currently attending graduate school full-time. I'm CPR/AED and First Aid certified and up to date on all immunizations. What I love most about childcare is helping children build confidence, develop new skills, and discover their interests. In my free time, I enjoy reading, trying new restaurants, hiking, and traveling. If you have any questions, feel free to message me or schedule a FaceTime. Happy to connect! :)
