Hi! My name is Nisa. I am currently working as a part time nanny, but I have been a babysitter for over 15 years and I have loved every minute of it. I am a recreational ballet dancer who enjoys puzzles and painting. I am also extremely creative and I love coming up with new and fun adventures for kids to enjoy. I hate for children to be bored, so I like to do arts and crafts projects, read and sing to them, play card and board games, pretend play, bake with them, and go to the park. I even have a recipe for homemade play dough! I have also been an after school teacher for children, grades K-5 and I am currently studying to become a Newborn Care Specialist. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and pre-teens and I love connecting with each child on their level. I am naturally drawn to children which is why I love to spend time with them and be a part of their lives. I formerly worked as a cook and baker so I don't mind cooking and baking for/with the kids as well. I am currently CPR/First Aid certified and I have excellent references. Hopefully, I will be a great fit for your family. I look forward to meeting you! ** Please message me for my rates for any HOUSEHOLD SERVICES. Feel free to reach out to me for kitchen and bathroom cleaning, laundry, as well as pantry, closet, and general home organization. Thank you!**
Hi, I’m Andri! I’ve lived in NYC for 9 years and have over 10 years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve worked with many private families throughout NYC and have experience with both daytime and evening care. I’m kind, caring, dependable, and energetic. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through outdoor activities, games, arts and crafts, reading, and age-appropriate activities. I also enjoy preparing healthy meals and helping families keep their children’s routines organized. Childcare has been a big part of my life since I was 15, and over the years I’ve built strong relationships with the families I work with. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, communicate with, and feel comfortable having in their home. I’m currently looking for occasional, part-time and I’m happy to help with date nights, weekends, evenings, and other childcare needs.
“Super professional! Kept in touch with us, asked about allergies and any safety concerns… She’s definitely on top of things, and my daughter loved hanging out with her and even went to sleep smoothly with her as well! We will be booking her throughout the rest of our stay in nyc!”
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.”
Hi! I'm Zaneta, I’m a NYC native, live music enthusiast, foodie, and the eldest of 6 (ages 1-21). I have worked with kids from 1 month to 16 years as well as those with special needs. I love traveling and am willing and able to do so with your family! Feel free to reach out to me with any interview/booking requests.
Hello! I’m a 29 year old student double majoring in Social Sciences at Columbia University. I’m originally from San Diego, CA & the Tijuana, BC area in Mexico. I’m CPR and First Aid Certified, speak English, Spanish, & conversational French. I’ve been caring for children over 10 years! I’m the best at pretend play, board games, crafts, singing and dancing with the kiddos. I clean up after all our activities which I strive to make engaging, educational, and fun; no matter the age group! I’ve cared for multiple (10+) children at a time, special needs children, have assisted at events, cared for sick children, children with allergies, and have also worked in a daycare setting environment. The ages of the children I’ve cared for range from 4 weeks - 16 years old. I have plenty references I’d be delighted to provide, including my latest long term position in the city. I can pick up/drop off and drive around your children, have a valid drivers license and clean driving record, can tutor or help with homework. I truly love spending time with children and enjoy their company, I value the flexibility of my profession and difference from a 9-5 job. I’m really excited to find a family that will be the best fit for me and hope to soon be the best fit for someone else! My goal is to provide the best service possible without a transactional experience. Thank you so much for taking the time to review my profile!
