Iman 8 reviews
South Ozone Park
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve worked in early childhood care for about 7 years, beginning as a Pre-K assistant teacher in 2017, where I quickly fell in love with working with children. In 2021, I transitioned to working with younger age groups, which allowed me to further develop and showcase my skills in the classroom. Through these roles, I’ve built strong relationships with families that have led to regular babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting opportunities for the past two and a half years. I currently work weekdays with the DOE and am available in the late afternoons and evenings. I’m committed to following your family’s routines closely, including bedtime schedules, and I’m happy to provide references if needed.

Iman is my go-to person to watch my 3 year old son. She was his teacher previously and I was so thrilled when she could become a babysitter for us after. She is reliable, super fun but calm and patient at the same time. They have a great time together making art, making trips to the library, and more. Cannot recommend her enough!

Talents: - Strong Communication Skills: I prioritize open and clear communication with both children and parents, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and comfortable expressing their needs and concerns. - Organization: I excel at managing schedules, keeping track of appointments, and maintaining a tidy and organized environment conducive to children's well-being. - Compassion: Above all, I approach caregiving with a genuine love and compassion for children, treating each child in my care with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own family. Overall, my extensive experience, combined with my nurturing personality traits and talents, make me a trusted and reliable caregiver who is committed to providing the highest quality of care for children and their families.

Zina was able to come on very short notice when I really needed some help, which was very appreciated. She was great, very proactive and able to relate to our kids very quickly. She came up with some great games for our fairly active boys and they had a good time with her. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely hire her again.

I hope all is well with you and your families. Over the years, it has been a great joy to be a source of relief and comfort for dozens of families worldwide, supporting their childcare, household management, and senior care needs. Like many of us, I started nannying during college. My undergraduate degree in Legal Research, combined with my interest in International Business, gave me the opportunity to study in New York, South Korea, Egypt, and Italy. My cultural adaptability, patience, and reliability have allowed families to entrust me with the care of their most precious loved ones. After college, I dedicated my time and expertise to supporting families with long-term needs. I have experience with infants to school-age children, including those with special needs or behavioral challenges. I am familiar with rotational schedules and flying to destinations on a rotation basis. I have accompanied families on holidays and served as a valuable extension of their comprehensive needs, especially for high-net-worth individuals. Regarding my demeanor, I am lighthearted and love to laugh. I remain calm in stressful situations and am well-equipped to handle the unexpected. I love learning and am never too proud to admit when I am wrong. My superpower is learning quickly. Outside of my professional life, I am quite adventurous. I love trying new things, whether it’s a new sport, restaurant, or activity. I enjoy walking long distances, watching and reviewing films, and, of course, my love for travel remains strong.

Kiyonah has been a reliable and good babysitter for our child. She is punctual, follows instructions carefully, and engages the child with patience and creativity. We appreciate her calm and attentive approach, and our child was happy and well-cared-for in her presence. We confidently recommend her to any family.

Hello Parents, My name is Patricia, im a Studio Art college graduate and originally from Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. My childcare experience began at the age of 11. Living with both my aunts and uncles under one roof, babysitting my younger cousins wasn't a job it was apart of my life. Before graduating from college, I studied abroad in South Korea. where I taught English as a second language in winter/summer camps for younger learners (age range: 5-10). For the past four and half years, I have had the opportunity to care for children varying in age from 2 1/2 months to 11 years old from UrbanSitter since 2012 and working as an on-call nanny for Bright Horizons agency for 4 years. Currently work as Special Education D75 Paraprofessional for the DOE. Working with Children with ADHD and Autism. What I like most about babysitting is developing activities that focus of creative exploration like coloring, drawing, painting, legos, imaginary story telling, stage play, and going on library/park/ museum outings. I also love reading and sing songs. In my free time, I love practicing Yoga, dance, and reading.

Patricia was excellent! She asked good questions ahead of time to make sure she knew what was expected of her during her care of my cats. She followed up regularly with updates and pictures.

Hello! I absolutely adore babysitting because I enjoy caring for others and playing with children's wild imaginations. As a highly experienced caregiver, I hold an associate degree in Early Childhood education, am currently finishing my bachelor's in human services and community, and have worked at the Rockefeller University Child and Family Center for six years. During that time, I gained an extensive background in babysitting and teaching children of all ages. In addition to my education and work experience, I am also trained in CPR and first aid, so you can trust that your child is in safe hands. I am also highly flexible and available to work on short notice or at irregular hours. In fact, I am able to work overnight and most weekends, so you can have peace of mind knowing that I am always there for your family. I've built great connections with many families from this website, some of whom I've even remained close with to this day. In fact, I'm honored to say that one child I used to babysit is now a part of my wedding! I mention this to let you know that I'm more than just a babysitter; I truly care about the families I work with and strive to build meaningful relationships with them. If you're looking for a reliable, caring babysitter who truly loves what she does, I would be honored to work with your family. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a time to chat. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Needed a sitter to help me throw my daughter's pink princess bday party at her school. Lauren was wonderful - punctual, helpful, knowledgable about toddler bday parties, personable, professional and strong. The students (two and three year olds) loved her. Lauren stepped into the MC role, also held that stuffed pinata for a long time with very few breaks for about 15 minutes as 14 toddlers took their turns to try to beat it open (with my daughter getting first and last turns). Lauren is at the top of my list for next year's school party. Grateful that she applied and accepted the job. Highly recommend.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
