Hello! My name is Meadow, I am 24 and just moved from Wisconsin. I graduated a few years ago with a business management degree. I have been babysitting since I was in middle school, I was also a full time Nanny 2 years ago during the summer. I come from a big family and have always been around kids. I currently work as a barista and we have a playroom available so I am still working with kids daily. With former families that I have worked with, I have assisted in helping with homework, getting the kids ready for school or bedtime, cooking, cleaning and walking them to school. I am comfortable with cats and dogs as well.
“Meadow is competent, trustworthy, patient and kind. My son takes awhile to warm up to people and he quickly connected with Meadow. She understood his feelings, was empathetic and patient with him. She found topics to connect with him and they built a fun relationship. She also was great with my daughter (9) who could talk with Meadow for hours. I highly recommend her and have full confidence in her skills and abilities with kids of all ages.”
My name is Lorna and I am 24 years old, I am a teacher assistant and also a registered behavioral therapist. I work with children 3 years old to 15 years old and I have been doing this for 5 years. I am in school majoring in biology because I love science so much and I want to be a doctor. Outside of working with children and taking care of them I love cooking for my family and dancing.
Hi! My name's Jordan! Before I joined the corporate world, I spent 7 years coaching children from ages 4-18 in competitive cheerleading. I also doubled as their camp counselor for 4 of those summers. I'm hoping to help out parents in need of a date night, extra hours at work, time to themselves, etc. There aren't many kids in finance! So I thought this would be a good way to reconnect with them, while helping families out. I can also care for your pets if needed - assuming they're okay with new people. I am prepared to keep your children entertained with whichever activity you prefer! Whether that be helping with their homework, reading to/with them, playing games, etc. I can take them to the park, to school, whatever you need!
Hello! I am a retired Paraprofessional/Teacher Assistant with 20 years of experience working for the NYC Board of Education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and am also a proud mother of two. My driver's license is clean, and I am CPR certified. I have a genuine love for children and extensive experience working with special needs kids. Patience, care, and nurturing are qualities I pride myself on. I have significant classroom experience as well as tutoring backgrounds. I have experience working with infants and toddlers. I have worked part-time at a Montessori school with toddlers aged 18 months to three years. I find this age group particularly fascinating, and I thoroughly enjoy working with these young children. I possess extensive experience in feeding and supervising their naps. The two-year-old stage is a critical period, during which they acquire communication skills and assimilate new knowledge. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets and can help with walking them if required. Currently, I am working part-time with two sisters, ages five and six. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, taking them to various activities, entertaining them, and preparing dinner when necessary. I am also currently working with a three-year-old girl who is speech-impaired and has some medical issues. My duties include feeding and changing her, as well as engaging her in activities, specifically puzzles and other exercises to improve her motor skills. I also assist with driving her to outside services and school. I’m new to the urban app. I have great reviews on Sittercity you can check my profile on there.
Hi - My name is Natalie and I currently live with my husband and two cats in Brooklyn, NY. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I have 12+ years experience as a nanny for children ages newborn-12 years in NYC. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even soccer practice. I have also worked as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own in-laws and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I love animals and am also comfortable working with pets as I have two rescues of my own.
