Hello NYC Families! I’m a graduating nursing student currently looking for work as I prepare for my licensing exam. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter in Brooklyn for the past five years, and have over ten years of experience working in childcare and youth services. Before diving into nursing, I earned my first bachelor’s degree in sociology and dance, which gives me a unique, interdisciplinary perspective that I love to bring into my work. I’m passionate about education, dance, and play, and I’m excited about the possibility of connecting with your family! A little about me: - I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, where I spent most of my free time dancing or exploring the outdoors. - I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from 18 months to 18 years, including those with a wide range of abilities and behaviors. - I’ve created and led hands-on learning programs in everything from outdoor education and arts & crafts to cooking and dance/movement. - I spent three summers touring with Circus Smirkus, where I supported a troupe of 30 teen performers—an experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of creative expression. - I have a valid driver’s license and have driven to all my babysitting jobs around the city. - I’m CPR/BLS certified and trained in first aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m not working, you’ll find me dancing, biking, rock climbing, enjoying ocean sports, or making handmade cards for friends and family. I’d love to share my passions and experiences with your family, and I’d be honored to help out in any way I can. I truly believe in building open, honest relationships with families and kids, and I’m always eager to learn about each child’s unique personality and interests. Looking forward to connecting!

Hello! My name is Isabela! I’m new on Urban Sitter, and I’m a recent college graduate with a strong background in childcare and youth programming. I speak English, French, and Spanish fluently and enjoy working with families from many different backgrounds. I grew up in a household where caring for children was always part of daily life, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from an early age. Beyond family care, I spent two summers as a camp counselor at the Humane Society of Broward County Kids Club Summer Camp, where I helped lead activities, supervised groups of children, and also gained hands-on experience caring for pets. Whether helping with homework, keeping kids engaged with creative activities, or supporting families with pet care, I bring enthusiasm, reliability, and a nurturing approach to everything I do.

I believe childhood should be filled with laughter, learning and love. I consider myself patient, loving and reliable. For the past two years, I have been a full-time nanny to a wonderful little one, starting when he was 6 months, which it’s been a wonderful experience, that taught me so much about infant care. I’m a certified preschool teacher in my home country, which has given me knowledge and strong skills in early childhood development. As a plus, Spanish is my first language and I truly enjoy introducing children to it through songs, books and playful activities. I’m CPR-certified caregiver.

Hi, my name is Jalani and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household support. I started working with kids in high school while helping at a daycare, and since then I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my goddaughter and friends’ children of different ages. I focus on making sure little ones feel safe, comfortable, fed, and genuinely looked after. I’m patient, attentive, and I love creating a smooth, happy environment for the kids I’m with. I also have experience with pet sitting, especially dogs and cats, and have stayed with pets for several days at a time. I’m reliable with routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and cared for while their owners are away. For house sitting, I’m organized, responsible, and great at keeping a home tidy and running smoothly. I’m someone families feel comfortable trusting with their space and their loved ones. I bring a warm, positive presence and communicate clearly so you always know everything is taken care of. Looking forward to working with you and your family! x

Hi my name is Monica, I’m an ex Au Pair/nanny and I’m offering child care, pet care and household services. I’ve been a nanny in the states since 2019 but I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 17 years old in my home country Bolivia.(yeah I do speak Spanish too 😊). I have experience with kids from different ages, and my usual responsibilities were taking them to school, preparing breakfast, lunch,snacks, helping them with homework, taking them to after school activities or going to the park. In addition to that I can help with light house chores, cleaning or running errands.
