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.”

**fully vaccinated, immune as of March 20** Hey, everyone, Andrew here. As we enter the new normal, I'd love to discuss your specific childcare needs. In addition to my usual balance of comedy and care, I'm invested in the crucially important health of your family. An actor by trade, I'm also looking at a summer and fall without work or auditions, so I have more availability than usual. Don't hesitate to reach out. I have 6 years of NYC babysitting experience, and I live off the ABCD at 145th. Express trains for the win! I am background-checked and trained in CPR and First Aid, and you can get a great sense of my work from the reviews here on my profile. I'm an actor by trade and lover of yoga, animals, plants, and I'll always pay extra for guac. My goal is to have a positive impact on a family's day--and maybe a child's outlook--and I love to encourage creativity and cooperation in kids of all ages. I'm sensitive to sibling dynamics thanks to my two siblings (also searchable on here--Laura and Tommy), and I'm engaging, patient, and eager to get out to a playground, park, or library. Please note that I also request 36 hours' notice of a cancellation or shortening of a booking. After the 36 hours, I request payment in full for--at minimum--the hours originally booked. Thanks very much for your understanding! For bookings ending 10pm or later, I request a car home or money to book a car myself--since the trains get so strange late at night. Thanks immensely for considering me--I look forward to hearing from you!

“Andrew was so good with my (sometimes fussy) 5-month old! Andrew helped out for a week and was a lifesaver. He has great energy, is comfortable with infants and is a joy to be around. Highly recommend Andrew!”

Booked by 3 families in Englewood, NJ

Hi, My name is Angela and am originally from Wales in Great Britain, UK. I am now a triple citizen (USA, UK, Italy). My vacation to America back in 1981 resulted in acquiring a green card from working as a Governess/Nany for a Dr. and his family in Tenafly, NJ. The children, boy & girl were 7 & 4 years of age when took care of them. I love children and have recently returned to babysitting. My work is video production therefore have a flexible schedule as run my own business. I am divorced and have no children and have 2 nieces in New Jersey and a nephew in Wales. My hobbies are dance, music, photography and yoga, recently completing my teachers training in yoga. Here is a recent testimonial: "Angela has done a wonderful job caring for my daughters, ages 4 and 7. She picks them up from school 3 days per week in two different locations and takes them to after school activities. She has been extremely reliable and easy to communicate with, and is kind and patient with my girls. I always feel confident that they are in good hands. We are so fortunate to have her helping us out with our busy after school schedule! I would highly recommend her to other parents."

“Angela was our regular babysitter for nearly 2 years, from when our son was 2-3 years old until we had our second baby. She did pick up for us 1-2x a week. Angela is a gem of a find in NYC -- extremely reliable, flexible, gentle, gracious and a truly good person. She is like hiring an aunt or extended family member. She will love your children, practice yoga with them, dote on them and be a beautiful presence in your own life. Any family would be lucky to have her as part of their support network!”
