Booked by 20 families in Riverdale, NY

Hey my name is Valentina. I’m a professional, reliable nanny with many years of experience caring for ages 7 months old to 16 years old. I’m especially strong with routines and transitions feeding, naps, play, homework, and bedtime so children feel secure and days run smoothly. Families describe me as structured, flexible, and hands-on. I balance warmth and playfulness with clear boundaries and consistency, which works well for both young children and school-aged kids. I help with taking children to appointments and afterschool activities, support homework, meal prep, and light cleaning, and provide occasional date-night babysitting. I keep parents updated regularly, sharing how their child is doing throughout the day. I take care of the details from activities to routines so children feel secure and parents know everything is handled. I also provide reliable pet care and have plenty of experience keeping animals on schedule. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, washing, and administering medication as needed. I have hands-on experience with my own two dogs and a cat, so I understand the attention, routine, and care pets need to stay happy and healthy. I’m also in college attaining my degree in digital marketing. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your children and hope to hear from you soon!

“Valentina did a really amazing job with our two kiddos. She was engaged and kept us updated with how the evening was going while sitting for us. Our kiddos had glowing reviews of her energy, time and attention. They were excited of the idea of her return on the next date night. I can highly recommend her for your childcare/evening date night sitting needs. ”

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.”
