I'm an experienced child caretaker who has mainly worked with younger school aged kids as well as high schoolers. I've worked in after school programs as well as at an overnight summer camp as a counselor. My strengths are in patience, conflict management and adaptability. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs of various ages and sizes.
Hi! My name is Katrina! š Iāve been the go-to babysitter for my family and friends for many years, and Iāve been caring for children ranging from about 5 months to 9 years old since I was a teenager. Iāve always loved being around kids, and honestly, working with them has always just come naturally to me. Iām patient, caring, dependable, and I really enjoy making kids feel comfortable, happy, and understood. I currently work as a Paraprofessional with the NYC Board of Education in Williamsburg, where I work closely with children in special education. Iāve worked one-on-one with children with ADHD, autism, developmental delays, speech disorders, and different sensory and behavioral needs. Iāve also worked with children from Pre-K through 2nd grade, so Iām very comfortable with different ages, personalities, routines, and learning styles. When I babysit, I donāt want kids to feel like theyāre just being āwatched.ā I love keeping them busy with fun, age-appropriate activities while still giving them structure and following their normal routines. Depending on your childās age and interests, we might: ⢠š¶ Sing songs and play movement games ⢠š Practice days of the week, months, letters, numbers, etc. ⢠šØ Color, do crafts, and other hands-on activities ⢠š¢ Play counting and early-learning games ⢠š Dance, listen to music, and have a little fun ⢠š Read stories and have story time ⢠š§ Bake or do simple kitchen activities (Iām actually a baking & pastry graduate!) Iām especially comfortable working with children who may need a little extra patience, structure, reassurance, or help communicating their needs. I always try to meet each child where they are and make sure they feel safe, respected, and comfortable with me. ⨠Availability: Pickups, summer days, occasional weekends, school/DOE days off, and other occasional babysitting needs. I currently have availability for Wednesdays through Fridays ! Iād love the chance to get to know your family and hopefully become someone you and your little one feel comfortable having around. š
āKatrina has been an amazing sitter to our two kids (and dog!) for many years. She's so sweet, very reliable, engaging and fun with the kids. She's thoughtful and comes up with fun activities, the kids love her and we consider her family. She is bright, warm and tidy.ā
Hi families! Iām a 30-year-old, reliable, energetic, and experienced sitter transitioning from a corporate career back to grad school for clinical psychology. I have been caring semi-regularly for children since I was 12 years old. I grew up with four siblingsātwo of whom are 12 years younger than meāand I played an active role in helping raise them. That hands-on experience continued through college and my corporate working life here in NYC with dozens of families (new to UrbanSitter, previously used HelloSitter). It has also recently come full circle as Iāve supported my siblings with their own babies, helping with everything from the sensitive postpartum newborn stage to chasing active toddlers. After several years in the corporate tech world, Iāve left to pursue my masterās degree. This schedule change allows me to return to what I genuinely love: hanging out with kids. I bring the āadultā reliability of a former professional (punctual, communicative, safety-conscious) mixed with the warmth and energy of a seasoned aunt/uncle. I am comfortable with all ages, confident with bedtime routines, and happy to help with homework or light meal prep. Looking forward to meeting your family! Note: I built the majority of my career in journalism, and I love tutoring if any kids need help with their homework or college essays!
āMara is so wonderful. Very responsive, capable, warm, communicative⦠and my kids immediately liked her. ā
Hi- My name is Maya and I am currently a junior at NYU. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have always loved being a babysitter and spending time with kids and have taken care of mostly 4 year olds and older and a 1 year old since being in high school. I also worked as a summer camp counselor for 3 years with loads of different aged children. I also tutored young children in high school and have worked with high school children since being in college. A fun fact about me is I am fluent in French if any children happen to be needing language help. I am mostly looking for childcare opportunities as I absolutely adore looking after children and watching them grow and experience all the energy and joy they have to offer. I am a responsible, attentive, and energetic caretaker, am very patient when need be, and will be able to communicate with children and parents about anything that may come up. I can also work as a household assistant and can run errands, as well as love caring for all sorts of animals and would also be interested in pet care services. *I will be out of town June 19-29 my schedule is very clear and flexible before and after that
Hi, Iām Kate! I am a first-year Masters in Social Work student at NYU living in Brooklyn. I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2021 with a degree in Cognitive Studies and African-American and Diaspora Studies. Iām just getting started on Urban Sitter, so Iām happy to provide references from families Iāve worked with in the past. I have 11 years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages, genders, and personality styles. I have experience with kids with Downs Syndrome, autism, and other special needs. This has included children with aggression and other severe behavioral problems, and I am confident in my abilities to meet these patterns with patience and compassion. I love kids and empowering them to practice autonomy while also being someone they can depend on. Iām looking for part-time babysitting opportunities during weekday evenings and weekends! Iām looking forward to meeting you!
