I’m energetic sitter with around 5 years of experience in childcare. I’m currently a Behavioral Tech team during the week. I use to be an Early Childhood educator. I have my CPI certification as well as CPR (adults, adolescents and infant). I love doing puzzles and reading with children. During the spring I love taking them out to do different activities in the city. I’m open to any overnight jobs where any extra chores would need to be complete. Feel free to message me and I can send you some references. Thank you for trusting me with your child!
Hello my name is Jaden and I’m NYC based. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of experience taking care of children. I’ve worked as a camp counselor at a summer camp for kids of all ages, babysat regularly throughout school, and have nanny’d for multiple families now throughout the city. Some of my hobbies include baking, bike riding, watching movies, and reading.
“Jaden is excellent. He was punctual and immediately engaged with the kids. They always enjoy their time with him. ”
Hi, my name is Mashiyat and I have been working with kids since I was 16 and have always enjoyed it. I worked my summers in high school at a science and engineering camp where I was a counselor for ages 5-7. I became early education and care certified in college when I was a teaching assistant for the on campus daycare primarily as an infant/toddler daycare teacher. In addition to providing direct care for the babies in my classroom, I also have experience working with infants as a medical assistant for a pediatrician’s office and worked directly with families at a children’s hospital to enroll them into clinical trials. Although I have mostly worked with infants and toddlers, I also have experience with kids of all age groups from summer camp or other previous babysitting positions.
On Urbansitter since 2018. Experienced babysitter of 12+ years caring for newborns, toddlers, and kids of all ages. Known to make playtime fun, bedtime easy, and always put safety first. Happy to share quick updates while you’re out so you know your little one is in good hands. I have completed both Caregiver First Aid training and Wilderness First Aid with NOLS, although I have not renewed this year.
Hi families! My name is Chantal and I’m a childcare provider based in NYC for 4 years with 6 years total of hands-on childcare experience. I am currently studying Childhood Education and have a strong background in child development! For the past 4 years, I worked closely with one long-term family, helping care for their child as they grew. As they’ve gotten older and no longer require care, I’m excited to connect with new families here on UrbanSitter! Throughout those years, I also worked consistently with several other wonderful families on an occasional basis, building strong relationships along the way! :) I genuinely enjoy creating a fun environment for kids, and arts & crafts are definitely one of my favorite go-to activities! While I’m new to UrbanSitter, childcare is absolutely not new to me! My profile may still be growing, but I’m happy to provide excellent references and recommendations from the amazing families I’ve worked with upon request. I look forward to meeting your family!
