Booked by 9 families in Middle Village, NY

Hello, my name is Vanessa, I`m 31 years old. I’m able to speak both Spanish and English, I recently graduated from Communication and Corporate Relations. I have experience with babies, toddlers and kid’s ages from 0 to 12. In 2015 I signed for an exchange program called Au pair in California where I took care of several kids from different ages and backgrounds. I lived in their homes with their parents and had to do all kinds of chores including driving them to places, helping them with homework, preparing meals and many activities day by day. In 2017 I enrolled with Care.com and worked with different families. In Urban Sitter I’ve been since 2014. I count with plenty infant experiences, 3 full-time jobs in total, from new born ages. I have First Aid, CPR and swimming training certification. I’m reliable, easy going, punctual, proactive, organized and enjoy my job because I get a long very well with kids. I count with more than 8 years of experience and excellent reviews and references. I also have a great profile in care.com with more updated reviews. Hope to hear from you soon ! Vanessa

“Vanessa helped us go to a wedding recently. She watched two 2 yr olds and a 4 mo old. She fed them dinner and got them all to bed. My daughter, who is notoriously slow to warm (just ask her grandpa!) took to Vanessa immediately, holding her hand and playing with her. She woke up the next morning telling us she liked Vanessa. Vanessa was great with our girls, punctual and responsive when we were checking in. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for childcare!”

Hello! My name is Havina. I was born and raised in NYC. I graduated from Emory University in Atlanta with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) May 2024. I have extensive experience with children of all ages. I have babysat for eight different families in NYC (age range newborn-15). Additionally, I worked in Mount Sinai's Labor & Delivery unit as a Student Nurse Intern (2023). I have volunteered with children at Mount Sinai's Kravis Children's Hospital. I have also tutored elementary and middle school children. I am conversational in Spanish. I have experience with cat-sitting and dog-sitting. I have also taken care of my elderly grandmother with dementia for the last six years. Overall, I love being with people and animals of all kinds and ages! I am currently working as an RN, but in my free time, I will continue to babysit and be flexible.

“Havina was great with our kids (ages 7 and 10). She was very professional, kind, and friendly. The kids looked forward to seeing her each day. We had no issues at all and look forward to calling her back again in the future!”

Booked by 53 families in Middle Village, NY

I started working as a mother's helper at the age of 10, and have been babysitting ever since! In high school I worked as a nanny 20 hours a week for a wonderful family with two infants, and also volunteered at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital to ensure children separated from their parents for long periods of time were receiving the critical attention needed to develop their gross and fine motor skills. During college I worked as an occasional sitter for many different families in the D.C. area. I have been living in New York for about 5 years now and work full-time as a Copywriter at a creative agency, so I just take a few babysitting jobs each month on nights and weekend :) For five summers when I was 18-23, I worked as a counselor at Camp Onaway, a sleep-away camp for girls ages 8-15 in New Hampshire. After graduating from the University of Maryland in December 2016, I worked at a Swiss boarding school as a dorm counselor, Spanish Instructor, and as a ski instructor. In short, I LOVE hanging out with kids both younger and older! I have ample experience with newborns, infants, and toddlers, and I love kids of all ages and needs. I have babysat for children with special needs and behavioral differences, and I am always happy to accommodate any communication/behavioral/educational methods that your family prefers (though I do not have any specific certifications or training for different needs). I speak Russian and Spanish and I am happy to help children learning either language by simply speaking to them or working on certain vocabulary. I am happy to tidy the house or help out in the kitchen when babysitting, help with homework, run errands, etc. Thanks for your consideration!
