I am comfortable taking on a variety of household tasks when provided with the appropriate supplies and instructions.

Hi! My name is Joy and I’m a college student at NYU studying Economics! I am a non-smoker and CPR, AED, Basic Life Support Certified. I have a little sister who’s 12 and I have taken care of her — driving her to and from lessons, going on walks with her, and generally enjoying time whenever I am home from school. I also have experience with grade school aged children and toddlers. I love being around children and their joyful energy is always amazing. I am a flexible babysitter and will treat all kids with the utmost respect and provide quality care. Over high school summers, I was an outdoor pool lifeguard (International Lifeguard Training Program & American Red Cross trained), and I am comfortable with CPR & AED responsibilities. I am also trained in Basic Life Support. On another note, I am happy to help with homework, test prep for older kids, and basic piano/music theory. Feel free to reach out!

Hi! I’m Anaelle, a 22-year-old French girl living in New York. I recently worked as an au pair in NYC, caring for children of different ages, including toddlers. I love spending time with kids, playing games, doing activities, and taking them to the park. I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and daily activities. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, weekends, and last-minute requests.

Hello! I’m Naomi, a recent college grad from NYU and someone who loves spending time with children. I received my BFA in Drama and Film from NYU, so I am quite the creative person, and love doing dramatic play, music, and various world-building activities with younger children. Throughout college, I became increasingly interested in childhood development, and took many Childhood and Adolescent Mental Studies (CAMS) classes. These classes allowed me to learn more about the early development process in infants, children, and adolescents, which further my interest in early childhood education. I worked with Jumpstart while I was at NYU - a program that provided preschool aged children in underfunded schools more opportunities to learn reading and comprehension skills. I worked as a Corps Member, but learned the most as a Team Leader my senior year. As a TL, I worked with a team of corps members to plan session plans, find engaging ways to interact with children and increase their reading and comprehension skills, guide trainings and reviews of best practices for storybook readings and vocabulary lessons, and much more. I lead team meetings, prepared different effective activities, and fostered a positive learning environment. This being said, I do have a lot of experience working with 3-5 year olds in an educational setting, but also have worked with families with children ranging from 1 year to 10 years old. I myself am also an aunt to my lovely niece and nephew, and watched over them from when they were infants until them now being 3 and 1 1/2, respectively. Currently, I am the Lead Babysitter at Chelsea Piers Fitness in Flatiron. I love going on walks, doing activities, arts and crafts, and finding different ways to engage with children. I can also do light housekeeping and prep snacks/meals. I also have worked with several families outside of Urban Sitter, and can give you references if you would like :) Thank you for reading - good luck on your search!
