Hello, I am Kimberly . I am a professional nanny with montessori training for the last 10 years. Additionally, I am a certified newborn care specialist,CPR and fully vaccinated. Not only am I hard-working, trustworthy and reliable, but also nurturing,firm and fun. I enjoy taking care and help raising the little ones. From helping them crawl to planting their feet in this world. Assisting the little ones to blossom mentally, physically and emotionally is vital in early development stage.

Hi! My name is Isabella and I'm a college student living in Brooklyn for the summer. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have volunteered at the Summer Fun Program and at the Children's Discovery Center in my hometown, working with kids from 3 years old to 12 years old. Most recently I have been a caregiver for infants to toddlers. My responsibilities have included bottle feeding, changing diapers, playing with the children, and putting them down for naps or nighttime routines. I am also open to working as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. My family currently has two dogs and I am happy to work with other families with dogs.

Isabella was watching our 18 month toddler while we went out. Isabella communicated well about when she would arrive and how things were going. We would hire Isabella again in the future

Hi there! Thank you for considering me. Here’s a bit about me: I am a former elementary school special education teacher in which I have 6 years of experience. Last year, I transitioned out my teaching role and now own a travel agency. Now that I'm no longer in the classroom I primarily support families with providing occasional care for after school, family nights out, last minute cancellations, as well as nannying abroad. UrbanSitter has given me the opportunity to continue supporting families and use my educator skills in a variety of settings. I am oldest sister of 3 and was the primary sitter for my brothers growing up. They inspired me to become a teacher and bring love and compassion into the classroom, and now anywhere I go. I have experience with infants, toddlers and elementary age children. I am able to change diapers, follow feeding directions and complete a variety of care routines as needed. I offer virtual homework help and tutoring services as well. Feel free to message me about this to discuss rate if interested.

She was amazing—by far the most reliable sitter I’ve ever had! Despite the early morning shift, she arrived right on time and kept me updated as she was on her way. My child had a great time with her.

Hey families! I’m Nia, 22 years old from The Bronx. For work I am a teacher’s assistant working my way up to become a full time teacher! Working with kids gives me a sense of purpose. I love being able to give advice to a young mind who is building their way up in the world or just being a friend and someone they can enjoy their time with. I am a pretty lively and active person with lots of energy to keep everyone happy and entertained :). The ability to connect, and teach are at the core of my work along with the mental well-being of the children I work with. I hope to share these values with the families I meet in the near future. <3

So sweet, energetic, communicative, and my boys loved her! Will have her back!!
