Booked by 119 families in Flushing, NY

Hello! My name is Shay and I am a warm, conscientious, communicative, and emotionally intelligent nanny with a Mary Poppins-esque touch and over 10 years of in-home care experience. I am passionate about child development and dedicated to nurturing kind, curious, and resilient young humans. I am from San Francisco, California, and have been living in New York City for the past 5 years pursuing acting. In that time, I've worked primarily with two families each with three children. I have experience with children experiencing major life transitions (just moving to NYC from another country with another language and learning english for the first time at 3 years old), children with gross motor, fine motor, and speech delays with multiple therapists and S.E.I.T.'s, children with ADD, and newborns joining the family. I am also an educator at Cocoon (Membership-based social clubs welcoming families to learn, play & grow together) and teach music, art, preschool prep, and dance for children ages 6 months to 36 months. It has been my true joy to have as many relationships with families and children as I do. I treasure the moments rolling around on the floor laughing with elementary schoolers, when a 16 month old walks over to me to give a hug for the first time when I come to the door, or when baby wakes up and we have a cuddle before discovering what the rest of the day has in store for us. My strength comes from remembering how my parents treated me with so much love and patience when I was a kid. I have a true interest and curiosity for child development. I have a love for Montessori and fostering independence in children. I bring joy, energy, and a breadth of knowledge from babysitting and nannying for over 10 years with hundreds of families. I am always available for phone or in person interviews. My calendar is almost always up to date. My resume and reference letters are available upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family! Best, Shay

Booked by 76 families in Flushing, NY

Hi there! I'm Kendall, a date-night sitter with 20 years of experience. While I appreciate your interest, I have no availability for full-time, part-time jobs or jobs during the day, because I have a 9-5 job as a product manager. Fully vaccinated (boosted Dec 2021, Oct 2022). Specialties: date nights, travel sitting (in hotels and Airbnbs), ages newborn to 3 I absolutely love working with kids. I started babysitting when I was 11 years old as a mother's helper for a family on my block, and kept babysitting for several families all through high school. I have experience with kids of all ages, from 6 week old newborns to 12 year old middle schoolers. I used to lead a dance company for kids with physical disabilities, so I am big on movement as well! If it's nice out, I also love taking kids outside to play. I have experience working with kids who have autism and Down syndrome. I have worked on UrbanSitter on and off since 2014, and have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing families. I understand the hesitation in booking a babysitter online, but I've found great relationships and mentors in many of the families I've sat for. Thanks for reading and I'd be happy to talk with you soon.

“Kendall is great! Sweet, professional, smart. ”

Booked by 126 families in Flushing, NY

Hi! I'm Olivia. Thanks for visiting my profile. A little about me: I have 15 years of experience as both a full-time and part-time babysitter. Currently, I work as a full-time Lower School teacher at a private school in NYC, so I can babysit during weekday evenings and weekends. **Note: I live in both NJ and NYC, so I can work in either place.** A brief history: From 2012 to 2017 (before I left NYC temporarily for grad school), I babysat for 10-40 hours each week. From 2[removed], I worked as a substitute elementary/middle teacher while attending grad school. From 2020-2021, I was a full-time teacher at a private school in Florida, where I taught fourth grade reading, writing and science. In late 2021, I returned to NYC and to NYC/NJ babysitting! My experience ranges from newborns to 14-year-olds, with every age in between. I have an M.F.A. in fiction writing, and I especially enjoy sharing my love of books & reading. I also love simply chatting with kids, answering their (hilarious/profound/thought-provoking) questions, and playing their favorite off-screen game. I am skilled in social-emotional learning (SEL) and working with children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder), Levels I, II, and III; OCD; and ADHD. I am also skilled in helping kids cope with anxiety, anxious thinking, or anxiety-related behavior patterns. My hobbies include reading, spending time with my friends, and kayaking. I was born in Manhattan, and I grew up in North and South Florida. Some other helpful info: I am comfortable with pets and light housework/pet care. I’m comfortable babysitting sick children as long as you let me know in advance.

Booked by 148 families in Flushing, NY

My name is Luke and I'm a graduate of New York University ('16) with a BFA in Drama. Some of my favorite things to do are go to Broadway shows (obviously), playing tennis, writing, and going for a run along the Hudson River while jamming to Taylor Swift. I enjoy all things Harry Potter and will talk with anyone about it for hours. I've been babysitting in various capacities since I was 14. First, it was occasionally babysitting my neighbor's daughters while she cleaned the house or ran to the store. After that, I did some student teaching in first and second grade classrooms for a year, along with babysitting kids who were involved with my high school's musical productions. Just before graduating college in 2016, I transitioned into date night and after-school babysitting in NYC, working for close to 200 different families (so far)! My favorite thing about babysitting is making a connection with the kids I work with. Relationships are very valuable to me, regardless of if it's my family, my friends, or the people I work with. Being able to know that I've made not only a bond with the kids, but a positive impact as well, is the most rewarding part of my job. When it comes to working with kids, I've basically done it all at one time or another. Among my favorite jobs have been being a nanny for a number of incredible families after-school; working at a children's theatre in Manhattan, where I taught musical theatre classes for ages 3-14; and working as a tennis and theatre counselor at an all-girls summer camp in Maine, where I taught girls ages 7-16 and was a bunk counselor for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. Most recently, I've worked at several day camps in Manhattan - Asphalt Green Summer Day Camp, where I was the On-Site Program Manager for two years, and Steve and Kate's Camp at Kips Bay, where I was the Site Director. I am currently the PS 527 Program Director for the Imogen Foundation, an after-school program focusing on SEL and emotional literacy. I am very skilled in managing large groups of kids. As a camp counselor, you quickly learn to think on your feet because there's nothing more stressful than dealing with 200 incredibly bored kids stuck inside on a rainy day. Through my teaching experience, I've learned quite a bit of classroom management and how to command the attention of a room. Whether I'm working with one kid or several dozen, I have the experience to make the most of any situation. I look forward to hearing from you! :)
