I am an experienced early childhood educator with 5 years of teaching experience in early preschool and preschool classrooms. I specialize in supporting children ages 2 to 5 through engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that build strong foundational skills in literacy, handwriting, and phonological awareness. I use trusted, research-based programs such as Handwriting Without Tears and Heggerty Phonological Awareness to make learning fun, hands-on, and effective. My goal is to help each child grow in confidence and readiness for kindergarten while fostering a love of learning
I am a mom to 2 teenaged boys and have 20+ years teaching experience, mostly at the secondary level. I have significant experience working with children with a variety of special needs and allergy protocols. I am an advocate of limited screen time for children and am happy to read, play board games, and spend time outdoors with them. I have always had a dog and am very comfortable with pets. I am looking for occasional work on weekends and during school breaks.
Hi! I am a 26 year old Psychology graduate and have worked with kids since 2015. I love working with kids and playing with them while being vigilant and making sure they’re safe. I am bubbly and energetic which helps keep up with the kids energy as well as household chores. I have worked with kids with special needs as well as kids at a camp and in a day care which gives me a versatile amount of experience with varying ages of kids.
My name is Sofia, I'm 24 years old and I've been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I absolutely love children and animals, and can't wait to have children of my own some day. I graduated from Scripps College during Spring 2023. The families I have babysat for in the past describe me as kind, loving, responsible, communicative, and encouraging. I grew up abroad and babysat for an American family twice a week in high school, ages 6 and 10; I babysat a family friend's 4 year old over the summer when I was 17 years old; and most recently, I was a regular babysitter for a family in California as a college student, ages 5 and 8. I am half Japanese/half Russian and feel very comfortable in multicultural familial environments. I like to connect with children as my equal, while maintaining a responsible and trusting relationship. I also have grown up around animals and have experience pet/house sitting. I love to cook for myself and would be happy to cook nutritious and delicious meals for your children! I am happy to meet your family's needs, whether this involves children, animals, or cleaning duties/errands. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Hello there! My name is Cameron and I am offering babysitting services in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I am new to Urban Sitter, but not new to babysitting! I have experience with children ages two through twelve. I was also an overnight chaperone for the Kennedy Center Dance Lab in 2023. I also have experience in dance education. I have taught a range of students from ages 5-18. Teaching has given me so much knowledge about how to tend to children of different natures, temperaments, and personalities! I graduated from Howard University with a B.F.A in Dance Arts, and currently work for a dance company called Urban Bush Women. I will keep your little ones active, entertained, and creative in spirit! Additionally, I am CPR certified and the eldest of five siblings. Feel free to reach out with any questions or inquiries!
