Hi there! I’m a warm, creative, and self-motivated caregiver with over 20 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter. I prioritize working with families who are fully vaccinated and am excited to connect with those who need evening or late-night (disco nannying!) care. I have worked with newborns to 14 year olds. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny, evening babysitter, and in private schools in NYC and SF. Right now, I’m looking for part-time and consistent evening roles. I love making childcare fun and enriching! Some of my favorite activities with kids include creating art, singing, making music, dancing, baking, and reading stories. I believe the occasional movie night can be a great bonding experience too. My approach to childcare is soulful, joyful, and filled with shared stories and laughter. Fluent in both English and Spanish. Let’s connect!

Hello there! I’m Lily, and I am experienced working with multiples and children of all ages (from less than 1 month old babies to high school tweens). I graduated with a MA in psychology. Prior to being a childcare provider, I worked at a nonprofit teaching digital media and magazine writing to adolescents from underserved communities. Professionally, I’m trained to be a construction manager, which makes my favorite bedtime storybook “Goodnight Goodnight, Construction Site”. All my other professional experiences made me very attuned to detail and comfortable in fast-paced, high stakes environments—qualities that I believe will come in handy when caring for children. I have babysat for years in both NYC and SF through college and grad school. I have recently returned to UrbanSitter for occasional evening / nighttime work. CANCELLATION POLICY As compensation for lost time due to last minute cancellations, I expect 50% of the original booking amount for cancellations with less than 48 hours notice and the full amount for same day cancellations. Payable via Venmo or Zelle.

Hi, I'm Shak! As the eldest in a large family, childcare has been a part of my life from a young age. I began as a mother's helper in 2009 and now have 16 years of active childcare experience. I've worked primarily with newborns and toddlers, but I love working with children of all ages. I bring an empathy-first approach to every family I work with. For infants, I specialize in sleep training and mother's helper support, and I'm happy to work alongside new parents through that journey every step of the way. I also focus on early language development through textures, sounds, rhythm, and music. With toddlers, I lean into interest led play, imagination building, curiosity about the world, early reading and counting. For school-age kids and teens, I emphasize active listening, healthy boundaries, and creating safe spaces for authentic expression. I also have meaningful experience with neurodiverse children who benefit from a different level of engagement and care. And since I studied classical text and diction, I love putting that to use — making up plays, collaborative storytelling, theatre games, you name it! But I'm just as happy getting active: bike rides, fort building, kite flying at the beach, little hikes, and whatever else sparks joy. I have a very low cancellation rate. If I accept a booking I am committed and will be there. I also have a reliable vehicle. I'd love to be a part of your family's village. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
