I'm only looking for occasional jobs because I have kids myself! Available on short notice! I was born in Russia, then moved to Finland at a young age . I have traveled a lot and lived in many countries. I speak 3 languages: English, Russian and Finnish. Russian is my native language. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in International Sales and Marketing from Haaga-Helia University in Finland. I love babysitting, teaching children something new and exploring the world with them. P.S. Please call me Kate :)
Hello parents! I am a dedicated and caring part-time nanny/babysitter in NELA & mom of 3 with 18 years of experience in child care. With my youngest being autistic I have learned so much when it comes to children with challenges and the importance of advocacy. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and fun environment where children can thrive, learn, and grow. I have experience working with children of various ages, from infants to toddlers and school-age kids. I’m skilled in creating age-appropriate activities, and offering emotional support to children and families. I know first hand how challenging things can be. My goal is to provide peace of mind to parents while offering a safe and enjoyable experience for the little ones in my care. I really enjoy engaging kids in activities that spark their creativity and curiosity. Some of my favorites include arts and crafts, playing outdoor games, reading fun books, baking together, singing and dancing! It's great to see their imaginations come to life! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves working with kids. Wether you need an extra pair of hands to sip on hot some coffee, help with laundry, events, organizing, stare at a wall with no interruptions I’m always happy to help in any way I can. I would love to connect and discuss how I can be of help to your family!
Hello families! During the day, I am a Substitute Teacher for K-12 charter schools. In addition, I am a Tutor specializing in ESL, ELA and Reading Comprehention. I have a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and I've served in the Peace Corps as a TEFL Teacher and Trainer (Ukraine, 2[removed], and Uzbekistan 2002-2005. ) I am a very caring, fun and creative caregiver who thinks outside of the box! I like to create fun activities to keep the kids busy and engaged. Not a big fan of Tech for play or entertainment! I prefer Reading books/Storytelling, Arts & Crafts, Games, Outdoor Play, Music & Movement for the little ones (play a little bit of guitar), and Cooking. Lastly, I like helping out with pets and have experience with Seniors as well!
“Vickie has been our go-to person for house/dog sitting for approximately 15 years. She is responsible, reliable, clean, and trustworthy with kids and fur-babies. She has a vast experience with kids, typical and special needs, which is how we first came to know Vickie. Taking care of our dog was yet another positive and rewarding experience. We know call Vickie our good friend. We highly recommend her for Urban Sitters.”
I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with over two years of professional experience working in private homes, state facilities, and hospital settings, including Kaiser Permanente. My background spans caring for children of various ages and needs, with a strong emphasis on safety, emotional support, and enrichment. Internationally, I have participated in mission and mentorship programs throughout the Philippines and Thailand, supporting underserved and at-risk children through education, structured activities, and positive guidance. I have supervised classrooms of up to seven children at a time, led mentorship programs for troubled youth, and organized community initiatives such as beach cleanups and educational surf programs that encouraged both discipline and joy. In addition to my caregiving experience, I am currently a holistic chef working with a luxury hotel, where I specialize in creating mindful, nourishing snacks and developing healthy eating habits for children, including those who are selective or hesitant eaters. I enjoy making daily routines fun, engaging, and meaningful while fostering curiosity, confidence, and healthy habits. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth in a way that feels safe, exciting, and nurturing, and I truly value opportunities where I can make a positive impact in a child’s life.
