Hello, My name is Hayley. I received my master’s in occupational therapy, working with both children and adults. In pediatrics, I help with developmental milestones, language skills, and fine/gross motor skills. I’ve worked with clients ages 0-16 years old. I was also a certified ABA therapist for 2 years, working with children with autism, focusing on developing communication, social skills, and life skills. I have background and knowledge on proper positioning, feeding, tummy time, and developmental stages for infants. I have been a child care provider for families for 13 years and have been an Urbansitter for almost 10 years. I am CPR certified (infant CPR certified as well). I have a 4 hour minimum policy for bookings. Currently, I am doing occasional evenings and date nights. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Best, Hayley
“Hayley is professional and friendly. My kids felt comfortable with her right away and had a great time with her. I highly recommend Hayley as a sitter!”
With over 15+ years of experience in child care, I bring a deep commitment to nurturing and educating children in both home and school environments. I hold a degree in Elementary Education from Saint Peter's University, along with an Early Childhood Teacher Certification from the state of New Jersey. My background includes extensive experience in classroom settings, as well as roles in back-up child care and private nannying. I’m passionate about supporting each child’s development through patience, creativity, and a warm, engaging approach. Whether in a structured learning environment or a more flexible home setting, I strive to create a safe, joyful space where children can thrive. In addition to child care, I also offer dependable pet care and home cleaning services. I'm comfortable with a variety of pets and take pride in providing gentle, reliable care tailored to their needs. When it comes to home cleaning, I focus on creating organized, tidy spaces so families can enjoy a clean and stress-free environment. I’m here to help make daily life a little easier—whether that means caring for your children, pets, or home—with professionalism and heart.

Hello! It’s a pleasure, my name is Lina! I have 4 years of babysitting experience. I’ve worked with 30+ families with children ranging from 0-10 years old through Sittercity, UrbanSitter, and local opportunities. I live in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. I’ve been around children for most of my life since my mother was a nanny for 20+ years. I’m also a mother to an adorable 3 year old. I consider myself a kind, reliable, responsible, and attentive individual. I’m currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, as I have a passion for working with children. I’m bilingual, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I'm also CPR, First Aid & AED certified. I’m available for occasional evening/date night opportunities. Thank you!
“My husband and I had the pleasure of hiring Lina to babysit our four-year-old for a few hours on a Saturday evening so we could go see a movie together. We were incredibly impressed with her professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm. From the moment she arrived, she connected with our son, and we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Her background in Early Childhood Education and her experience as a mother are clearly a huge asset, as she seemed to know exactly how to engage him in a fun way. In addition to being a fantastic playmate, Lina was incredibly responsible and attentive. We truly felt that she was present and focused on his needs the entire evening.”
Hi, thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I graduated from college in 2024 and am currently working full-time at a law firm. I have lots of experience working with children (infants as young as 2 months old to 11 years old) whether it be through nannying, volunteer organizations, summer camps, and in the classroom. Currently, I babysit for one-year old twins, sibling toddlers that are four and two, and a four-month old baby. Lastly, I grew up swimming competitively up until my senior year of high school (and have coaching experience) so am also comfortable at the swimming pool. I am available in the evenings and anytime during the weekend. I look forward to hearing from you!
