Hi! I'm Rachel, and I absolutely love being a babysitter and caretaker! There's something so rewarding about working with kids, and I've been lucky enough to have some amazing experiences along the way. I've worked at a pediatric occupational therapy clinic where I learned how to help children reach their full potential while making sure they have fun in the process. I've also coached gymnastics, where I got to watch kids grow, challenge themselves, and celebrate their successes. Whether it's playing games, teaching new skills, or just being there to lend a hand, I'm passionate about helping kids feel safe, happy, and supported. I'm all about having fun, staying positive, and making sure every moment is filled with joy! I'd describe my personality as fun, creative, and friendly I like working with kids because they are curious, creative and are witnessing the world for the first time. Being able to be to help foster their creative spirit and witness their development is rewarding. I’ve been a nanny here in New York for a little over a year now and worked with a variety of children ages 4mo-12 years. Also available for: - house assistant work/ errands / home projects - pet sitting and walking - House Sitting
“Our son, 9, had so much fun with Rachel. She was punctual, communicative, and considerate.”
Hi families! My name is Ana, and I’m a warm, caring, and dependable childcare provider based in NYC! I have 4 years of experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I genuinely love spending time with kids and being part of their everyday routines. :) I’ve completed a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, and I’m also CPR & First Aid certified, Infant Qualified (IQ), and have completed childcare training courses. I love keeping kids happy and engaged through play, arts & crafts, playgrounds, libraries, museums, the zoo, and playdates! I believe children learn so much through exploring, having fun, and trying new things. I’m patient, organized, and reliable, and I’m happy to help with children’s meals, laundry, play areas, and other related tasks. Most importantly, I want every child to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve worked with upon request. I’m excited to meet your family! ☺️
“Consistent, caring, trustworthy - Ana worked with my son for 5 months. She showed up on time always with a smile. My son loved her. She’d take him to the zoo, aquarium, picnics in the park, etc. as well as cook nice meals for him. You’re lucky to have her”

Hello parents and caregivers! I'm Jordan, a NYC–based caregiver with a passion for childcare! I'm a recent UC Berkeley alum who has spent countless hours through education-centered coursework and hands on experience investing in the bright minds of tomorrow! My experience includes working with children in both formal household settings, as well as in educational environments (through tutoring and volunteering at school events). I bring a thoughtful, attentive approach to caregiving that prioritizes safety, creativity, and emotional awareness. Beyond childcare, I have experience assisting with pet care and household tasks, and I’m happy to support busy families with errands or light upkeep as needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s values and routines. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained off-screens, helping them learn or simply making sure they feel safe and heard, I aim to create a calm, positive environment parents can trust!
