Find an emergency babysitter in Brooklyn, NY

Hi, my name is Kim, but my friends and clients call me the "fairy dogmother" and the "doggie doula" because of how great I am taking care of dogs (and because of how much I spoil and love them)! A little bit about my background-- I am based in Brooklyn two blocks from Prospect Park. I have over 15 years experience caring for and rescuing high-need dogs with health issues. I decided to open up my home to dogs on Urbansitter after my senior dog recently passed away from end stage renal disease. Through caring for him and others, I have learned to administer subcutaneous fluid as well as oral medication to animals. I specifically have ample experience supporting dogs with generalized anxiety disorder, Cushing's, bladder stones, chronic pancreatitis, allergies, injuries, and so on. While I do have a full-time job that's unrelated to my passion for animals, I mostly work from home, which means I am available during the day for many walks and snuggles for your furry loved one. If you ask any one, they will tell you that they've never met someone who goes so above and beyond for dogs and that your companion will be so well-taken care of. (In fact, my old vet might have asked me a few times to adopt her as well. LOL! 💜) I don't do this for money. I do this because I truly love spending time with dog babies. It brings me the utmost happiness to bring them joy and to know that I'm providing someone else peace of mind while they are away from their loved one.

I am Cornelia , an experienced nanny with great references! I have had the opportunity to care for kids from newborns to school age for the past 16 years, and it has been a pleasure. My skills has sharpened as the years went by, and it has taught me a lot about myself. I love caring for kids because it affords me the opportunity to help contribute towards our next generation, as the first three years of a child’s life is the most crucial phase developmentally.

I am a lifelong babysitter, starting as a mother’s helper at 8 years old for a neighbor and their infant. I babysat throughout high school for an infant until I moved to NYC when she was 8 years old. In college, I worked at a daycare with children aged 12 weeks to 5 years old. When I first moved to NYC I was a nanny for 3 different families with children ranging in age from 8 months to 2 years old. I am currently a 5th grade math teacher and have been a teacher to elementary and middle school aged children for 14 years. I love playing games, reading and going for walks or to the playground. I love to joke around while still have boundaries with kids to keep them safe and learn how to navigate the world around them.

Hi families! I have over 17 years of experience working with children and creating safe, supportive, and engaging environments. I’m CPR certified, lifeguard certified, and have spent the past 10 years teaching swim lessons to children of all ages, which has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to stay calm in emergencies. I also have experience as an overnight camp counselor, supervising children, supporting routines, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I enjoy building meaningful connections with kids while being reliable, attentive, and someone families can feel comfortable trusting with their care.
