Hello all! My name is Emma, and I am a current doctorate student at Hofstra studying clinical psychology. I have been babysitting/nannying for over 10 years now and have a master’s in human development and education from Harvard’s graduate school of education. This past year I nannied and weekend sat for families with children ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years. I love taking kids to play outside at parks, doing crafts and coloring, and answering questions from inquisitive little ones. In addition, I am a certified lifeguard with three years of experience and have also taught swim lessons to 1-10 year olds for over five years. I currently teach private swim lessons in NYC. Contact me if it sounds like I'd be a good fit to your family, I look forward to hearing from you! References by request.

“This was our first time using UrbanSitter, and we’re so glad we chose Emma! She was incredibly warm, professional, and put us at ease right away. She connected quickly with our son and kept us updated throughout the evening with thoughtful communication, which allowed my wife and me to fully enjoy our date night. We came home to a happy little guy and couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Thank you, Emma!”

Hi there! I graduated from Tufts University with a major in Political Science and have worked in foreign policy on Capitol Hill for several years before moving into contract specialization here in NYC. I spent four summers as a preschool teacher working with children ages 1 to 5 and spent two years working with fourth graders, in addition to regular babysitting, and I absolutely love working with kids! I also have a year's experience as a full-time professional nanny for a single family with a toddler. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about availability or would like to learn more about me as a babysitter. I am also happy to provide additional references upon request from my full-time childcare jobs, if you would like them in addition to my reviews listed here on the website. I look forward to hearing from you!

Resume Link:[removed] Hi, my name is Lindsey! I love working with children of all ages, especially infants and toddlers! I have an associate degree in early childhood education from Sauk Valley Community College and plan to pursue a bachelor's degree in the future. I have experience as a summer and after-school counselor, working with kids aged K-5th grade, and, most recently, as a full-time assistant daycare teacher in a 15-30 month classroom. I would also occasionally work in the daycare infant room when needed. One of the main reasons I love working with children is their innate love for exploration, creativity, and learning; just like myself! I believe that children need a strong, safe, and trustworthy support system to thrive, and I will provide all of those qualities. I love to sing, dance, read, write, craft, explore new places, and spend time in nature; all of which are traits that I directly apply when working with children. Furthermore, I am deeply passionate about teaching children age-appropriate emotional intelligence and regulation. While working in daycare, I taught my toddlers the names and feelings of different emotions, breathing exercises, how to find a trusted adult in times of emotional distress, how to say to a peer “Stop!” and “I do not like that!”, healthy ways to express anger, frustration, or other “upset” emotions without physically harming oneself or others, and where to find a safe and calm space to “calm their body.” For me, helping a child grow emotionally is incredibly rewarding, and I am ready and willing to nurture this growth with every child I work with. In addition to childcare, I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons or similar reptiles, hedgehogs, beta fish, and parakeets (my family has had lots of pets over the years!). Additionally, having worked multiple customer service jobs and maintained the cleanliness of a toddler classroom, I am highly experienced in housekeeping services and running errands.

**To keep all of the kids I work with healthy, I mask at school, in crowded public spaces, and while babysitting.** I am a Covid-conscious learning specialist available in Manhattan on nights and weekends. I have been babysitting for 15+ years for children of all ages, and in my day job, I work with 4th-12th graders. I've also taught elementary ESL, MS and HS literature and health, and K-2 drama. I’ve worked for a pediatrician’s office and an infant/toddler nursery as well as been a nanny, a camp counselor, and a drama teacher—when it comes to kids, you name it, and I’ve done it!

“Wonderful experience with sitter being reliable, communicative and professional. ”

Hi there! My name is Aidan. I am 24 years old, I finished my Culture and Arts degree at Fordham last year, am pursuing working in the performing arts, work in the Theatre Industry, and am looking for some babysitting gigs to earn some extra money in this new chapter of life! I grew up between San Francisco and Brooklyn, so I am great with city kids as I am one! I have so much passion for working with kids (I have tons of classroom experience) and really think I could be a great fit for your family if you gave me a chance! - Why do I babysit? - 1. I love kids! I grew up in a big family as the oldest child on all sides so I have been helping take care of little ones for most of my life. 2. I have a passion for working with kids! I have in the classroom experience which has given me tons of childhood development skills and babysitting lets me use them! 3. I strive to be a positive male role model in all children’s lives. I grew up with girls and loved doing arts and crafts, make believe, dolls, etc… As a boy I love to rough house, run around, and play games. Anything a female babysitter can bring to the table, I can too! - My Background - I have been working with kids for 10 years as an After School Teacher, Nanny, Babysitter and Camp Counselor. I am certified in CPR/First Aid and have training in Child Abuse Prevention. Additionally, I have in-the-classroom experience which has enabled me to become very familiar with current educational standards and would be an excellent assistant to your child's homework needs. More importantly though, that knowledge helps me be more relatable to them as I understand what they’re currently experiencing at school! I have a background in performing arts, which you will find allows for pretty awesome story-times and games. We theatre kids have a ton of energy and I am no exception to this. I can keep up with all the energy your kids have and then some. I am a good listener and am flexible and willing to do just about anything a family needs of me. At the end of the day, the most important thing to me is to make sure your children are safe and happy, and that you as parents are satisfied with my care. I know it is uncommon to hire men in this field, but I promise you that you will not regret hiring me and I would be more than happy to provide as many references as you want! Let me know if you think I could be a good match for your family!

“I feel lucky that we found Aiden for regular care! Super reliable and engaging, I know my kids are going to have fun and have his full attention being out and about with him. He even helped me with the toddler diaper routine and to transition the nap schedule, above and beyond helpful. ”
