Hi, ********(Please don’t send a booking request before you first message me. I work as a substitute teacher, so I’m not available for short-notice bookings at this time.) ******* My name is Woodlyn, and I am currently a substitute teacher. I have been working with families and children for over a decade. I have always possessed a natural aptitude for caregiving and a profound passion for working with children. As a wife and mother, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Montclair State University. I am characterized by my trustworthiness, responsibility, passion, and patience. Additionally, I am active and possess a high level of energy that children find endearing. I would be honored to provide childcare and nurturing for families. I am capable of taking children to various destinations, including parks, museums, ice skating arenas, and any sports practices (such as those offered by the YMCA, JCC, indoor, and outdoor facilities). I am highly engaging with children of all ages, even when managing multiple children simultaneously.

Hi, my name is Valeria. I speak two lenguajes fluently, Spanish and English, I also have beginner korean and German. I studied at Baruch college with a major in international business and a minor in marketing. I am now doing my master degree however I am currently just doing research therefore I have all freedom when it comes to scheduling. I’ve been working as babysitter since 2018 with UrbanSitter and I’ve been a mentor and tutor for kids starting from preK all the way through 7th grade with some experiences in high school writing tutoring. I truly love to work with kids and pets, having experience with both. I have worked with a big range of ages and more than 15 long term families along the way. In my free time, I love to dance, learn languages, and travel. I would love to become part of your family and for you to become part of mine. I still occasionally work with families I worked for full time years ago.
