$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 16 families in Floral Park, NY

Hey Parents! My name is Arianny, I am 23 years old, born and raised in Brooklyn with strong Dominican roots. As the oldest of six siblings, caregiving became a natural responsibility early in my life and sparked my passion for working with children. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, leadership, and the importance of creating supportive, joyful spaces for young children to thrive. In my free time, I enjoy baking, a hobby that allows me to be creative and often becomes a fun, hands-on activity to share with kids. I am an accomplished childcare professional with over five years of comprehensive experience supporting the developmental, academic, and social-emotional needs of children ranging from infancy through school age. Currently, I serve as a paraprofessional and hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Development — a discipline that underscores my enduring commitment to fostering growth, resilience, and curiosity in young learners. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I bring the added value of bilingual communication, enabling me to facilitate meaningful connections across diverse families and to integrate language enrichment into everyday learning experiences. My approach to childcare is guided by patience, intentionality, and a thorough understanding of developmental milestones. I am adept at cultivating safe, nurturing, and intellectually stimulating environments tailored to each child’s individual temperament and strengths. I am available for full time work, occasional babysitting, overnight assistance, as well as open weekend availability. Above all, I am committed to establishing collaborative, trusting partnerships with families to ensure that every child receives thoughtful, developmentally appropriate, and high-quality care. I welcome the opportunity to connect and to discuss how my expertise can best serve your family’s needs.

“Arianny is very kind and sweet, definately recommend her!”

Booked by 1 family in Floral Park, NY

Hi! I’m a dedicated childcare provider who just moved back to New York after spending the last four years teaching early learners (ages 3–6) in Krakow, Poland. I absolutely love working with kids and bring a lot of patience, creativity, and calm energy to my time with them. I’m also currently earning my master’s in education through the University of Glasgow. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and cozy environment where your child feels happy and supported. I’m always happy to help however I can — can’t wait to meet your family!

“*updating as of 1/13/26: we have continued to use Danielle regularly since we first met her and are BEYOND delighted to have found her. She is amazing with our son, he is SO excited to see her, and she's super reliable - you would be lucky to have Danielle watch your children! :) They go to the park, she prepares his meals, and I really appreciate that she plays with him / is on "his level" the entire time - they have a blast and he is genuinely excited for his "friend" to come over and play. 10/10 recommend! I am delighted to recommend Danielle as a reliable, responsible, warm and dedicated caregiver! I connected with Danielle through Urban Sitter and she was super responsive / warm / organized in our initial correspondence - I then spoke with a mom in Poland who Danielle had worked for in the past who spent 30 minutes on the phone with me and could not recommend Danielle highly enough (she had cared for 3 of her sons) - we met Danielle in person last Friday and spent a few hours watching our 1.5 year old and he had the BEST time. Danielle was super calm, loving, play-oriented and very responsive to all of our directions / instructions. She took him out for a walk, prepared his dinner, and gave him lots of attention / love / play - he was in GREAT spirits when we came home. We have decided to hire Danielle on a recurring basis to watch our toddler at least 1-2 times per week. I definitely recommend hiring Danielle and we can't wait to work with her again (and feel so lucky to have found her!).”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
