Hello families! My name is Mariel - I am from Brazil and a current Nutrition and Dietetics major at NYU. Before going back to college, in 2020, I was an Au Pair in NYC for over two years where I had the opportunity to gain experience with different ages. Back home, I was a baker and owned a small bakery with my cousins; thus, one of my favorite things to do with kids is baking. I've baked some amazing Brazilian recipes with many American kids and their favorite recipe is always the Brazilian brigadeiros and Brazilian carrot cake. I also grew up in a big family and always liked taking care of my little cousins. I've babysat many kids with a variety of ages. I'm very responsible, active, creative, a great cook (always enjoy introducing some Brazilian dishes to the kids) and I'm an easy going person. I'm looking for ocasional babysitting or a part-time job that would be flexible with my college schedule. My first language is Portuguese, but I also speak Spanish, and English, of course. Can't wait to meet you!

Hello! My name is Jennessa (first name Kathryn). I'm 27, and have been a nanny and babysitter for multiple other wonderful families over the course of the past 7 years with kids ranging from newborn (4 weeks) to 10 y/o. While I am new to the UrbanSitters platform, I have previously worked through a nannying agency and will gladly provide references from my past clients. I love pets and am very comfortable with being around/ caring for them, am CPR/First Aid certified, speak Spanish, and have years of experience as a private tutor. I have a BA in English from Boston College and spent the past two years working a very draining writing job in the legal field. The entire time I missed the kids and families I used to nanny for, so I am regrouping and reentering the childcare field! My goal is always to provide a safe, fun, low-stress environment for children where they feel comfortable expressing themselves. I also love to foster the development of strong language skills and creativity through reading and storytelling. I am often described as calm, patient, creative, and engaging. I'd love to hear more from you and learn about your childcare needs!
