Hi! I’m Ashitaka, a CPR-certified preschool teacher and children’s gymnastics instructor with over 2 years of experience supporting little ones as they grow, learn, and play. I specialize in working with toddlers and early childhood age groups, and I bring a warm, high-energy, and creative approach to caregiving. As a Broadway actor and performer, I love incorporating music, movement, and storytelling into everyday moments — from dance breaks to dramatic storytime. I’m comfortable with meal times, routines, transitions, and sensory play, and I thrive in environments where kids feel both safe and celebrated. Helping children feel confident, curious, and cared for is at the heart of what I do. I’d love to be part of a home where joy and structure go hand in hand!
I am a mature women with well over 20 years of experience with children of all ages. I am kind, caring and fun to be around. I am reliable and trust-worthy person, your children will be safe in my hands. I am CPR certify and college educated. I have a clean background and clean driver license. Please consider me to take good care of your children. I am willing and able to produce the best service.
I have a close relationship with the children in my family and have been involved in caretaking for my younger cousins since my years early in high school (14-15 years old). I've also been responsible for caretaking for my neighbor's dog regularly during the day from 9-7/8 PM and am very comfortable with dogs generally.
Hi, I’m Lena (lee-nah) While I’m new to the Urban Sitters app, I bring over a decade of professional childcare experience, supporting families with diverse living situations, dietary preferences, age groups and developmental needs. I love building connections with the children and families I work with, taking the time to understand their interests, routines and learning how I can contribute to their growth and well-being. As a dependable and trustworthy caregiver, I’m also deeply committed to fostering healthy development and creating a positive environment for every family I work with. I take pride in offering tailored care for siblings while accommodating the ever-changing needs of busy parents. I’d be happy to answer any questions about my experience or arrange an introductory call/meeting. Thanks for your consideration!
“Lena is the absolute BEST. Do not hesitate before booking her. We did a veryyy long search before hiring her, as we are picky neurotic first time parents. Lena is absolutely amazing with our 5-month-old—always actively engaging with her, and our baby loves her. And when she naps, Lena cooks us the best meals!! We are so grateful to have found her.”
Hi! My name is Josephine. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon, but recently graduated from Boston College in May, and moved to New York City in June! I've been babysitting since middle school and have the most experience caring for toddlers and school-age children, though I'm happy to work with kids of any age. I'm incredibly responsible, organized, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe and fun environment for the children I care for. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help around the house with cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walking, and other household tasks. I also speak French and a little Spanish, and I'm glad to help with homework or provide extra academic support when needed. A little about me: I love spending time outdoors, exploring New York, and visiting art museums. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, or helping with homework, I enjoy finding activities that keep kids engaged and having fun. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and help however l can!
