Hello, I’m Catherine! I am child and infant certified in CPR and first aid. I offer primarily child care, as well as pet sitting, and household services. I graduated from NYU, and went to Convent of the Sacred Heart on 91st street. I love reading aloud with kids, taking them to the park, playing pretend, arts and crafts, etc. I am very creative!! Listed are my specialties: - classically trained ballerina - guitar, flute and piano player - actor (trained @ NYU Tisch) - dance party expert - temper tantrum ready - excellent with poopy diapers I am also great at tidying up and preparing snacks/simple meals. I am great with pets- I have taken care of and adore both cats and dogs. I am also great at running errands and am excellent at house cleaning/organizing. I'm accepting of all religions, spiritualities, and lifestyles. I’m new to urban sitter, but am looking to build a good reputation/rating. I promise you loving, attentive, enthusiastic, and engaged care no matter the task. 😊

I babysat/ overnight many of my patients kids ranging from newborns to middle school ages. Im fun, super engaging with kids. I love to keep them busy with creative art activities, I can make meals, help with light cleaning and help the kids the homework.
Hi— my name is Ava and I’m a current graduate student studying at Columbia University. I am offering childcare and household services. I love kids and have been working with them for the past 4 years. I have 3 years experience of teaching toddlers survival swim, and 2 years of teaching and camp counselor experience with elementary aged children. I have also been a babysitter for my own younger siblings, one of which has a disability. All of this experience has given me patience needed to work well with kids :) I enjoy doing outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and reading to kids. I can also clean and run errands. The one thing I cannot do is drive, but hopefully that is not too much of a problem in the city.
Hi! My name is Yaritza, and I’m currently a sophomore at NYU. I’ve had hands-on childcare experience since I was 14, caring for my nieces, which helped me develop a genuine love for working with children. I’m comfortable picking children up from daycare or school, assisting with homework, and engaging them in fun and age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning and running errands when needed.

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
