Hi, my name is Mashiyat and I have been working with kids since I was 16 and have always enjoyed it. I worked my summers in high school at a science and engineering camp where I was a counselor for ages 5-7. I became early education and care certified in college when I was a teaching assistant for the on campus daycare primarily as an infant/toddler daycare teacher. In addition to providing direct care for the babies in my classroom, I also have experience working with infants as a medical assistant for a pediatrician’s office and worked directly with families at a children’s hospital to enroll them into clinical trials. Although I have mostly worked with infants and toddlers, I also have experience with kids of all age groups from summer camp or other previous babysitting positions.
📅 Available Starting in November 2026 I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 8 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns to pre-teens. My expertise is in infant and toddler care, supporting children through important developmental milestones while creating a nurturing, engaging, and structured environment where children can thrive. For the past year, I have been caring full-time for the same child, starting when she was just 4 months old. During this time, I have been responsible for every aspect of her daily care and development, including sleep training, introducing solid foods, baby-led weaning, preparing homemade meals and snacks, transitioning from formula to whole milk, planning age-appropriate activities, and establishing healthy routines. My current family is relocating to New Jersey, so I am now looking for a new long-term full-time position starting in November 2026. I take a proactive and development-focused approach to childcare, creating activities that encourage language development, motor skills, independence, social interaction, creativity, and confidence. I believe every child deserves a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. Qualifications & Skills ✔ 8+ years of professional childcare experience ✔ Extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children ✔ CPR & First Aid Certified ✔ Sleep training and healthy sleep habit support ✔ Baby-led weaning and introduction of solid foods ✔ Formula preparation and transition to whole milk ✔ Homemade meal and snack preparation ✔ Developmental milestone support ✔ Sensory play, tummy time, reading, music, and educational activities ✔ Outdoor activities, classes, and social development ✔ Light housekeeping related to the child ✔ Strong communication with parents and daily updates ✔ Bilingual: English, Portuguese, and Spanish ✔ Valid U.S. Driver’s License with a clean driving record ✔ Excellent references available I am looking for a wonderful family where I can build a long-term relationship and continue supporting a child’s growth, development, and happiness while providing dependable, attentive, and loving care every day. 📍 Brooklyn, NY 📩 Feel free to reach out for my resume and references. I look forward to connecting with your family! 💕
“Dayana was an absolute pleasure. She was our summer nanny and I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s willing and happy to do whatever is helpful to your family with zero ego. She’s kind, patient and a wonderful person to be around. Our children really loved her, also! I highly recommend her!”
On Urbansitter since 2018. Experienced babysitter of 12+ years caring for newborns, toddlers, and kids of all ages. Known to make playtime fun, bedtime easy, and always put safety first. Happy to share quick updates while you’re out so you know your little one is in good hands. I have completed both Caregiver First Aid training and Wilderness First Aid with NOLS, although I have not renewed this year.
I started working as a mother's helper at the age of 10, and have been babysitting ever since! In high school I worked as a nanny 20 hours a week for a wonderful family with two infants, and also volunteered at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital to ensure children separated from their parents for long periods of time were receiving the critical attention needed to develop their gross and fine motor skills. During college I worked as an occasional sitter for many different families in the D.C. area. I have been living in New York for about 5 years now and work full-time as a Copywriter at a creative agency, so I just take a few babysitting jobs each month on nights and weekend :) For five summers when I was 18-23, I worked as a counselor at Camp Onaway, a sleep-away camp for girls ages 8-15 in New Hampshire. After graduating from the University of Maryland in December 2016, I worked at a Swiss boarding school as a dorm counselor, Spanish Instructor, and as a ski instructor. In short, I LOVE hanging out with kids both younger and older! I have ample experience with newborns, infants, and toddlers, and I love kids of all ages and needs. I have babysat for children with special needs and behavioral differences, and I am always happy to accommodate any communication/behavioral/educational methods that your family prefers (though I do not have any specific certifications or training for different needs). I speak Russian and Spanish and I am happy to help children learning either language by simply speaking to them or working on certain vocabulary. I am happy to tidy the house or help out in the kitchen when babysitting, help with homework, run errands, etc. Thanks for your consideration!
Hi! My name is Cris I am from the Dominican Republic and I am based in Brooklyn. I have a BA in Anthropology + Social Practice. I have 4 years of experience in education: 2 years working in elementary after school programs as a creative writing teacher + 2 years as a full time middle school humanities teacher. Every summer for the last two years I have worked part time in a daycare, primarily caring for infants and toddlers. I currently work as an ELA teacher at an arts high school. I am passionate about community organization, art, literature, and learning. While enrolled in a research program in Costa Rica I worked in a small rural primary school as a teacher’s aid and English + Social Sciences instructor. I mostly worked with children ages 3-12 as well as children with special needs and disabilities. During this time I helped the school community organize fun and unique activities for the students and worked directly with parents to assist in their children's progress. Since then I have been part-time babysitting here in the states. My time working with children has taught me how to encourage, support, and provide a sense of safety and care. Overseeing both large and small classrooms has made me well equipped to handle and diffuse high stress situations with patience and caution. I would describe myself as a high energy, compassionate, patient sitter with a big heart. I enjoy teaching and reading to children, working on arts and crafts projects, and engaging their creativity. I am bi-lingual, I speak fluent English and Spanish. I am also happy to help with pet-care and domestic tasks such as laundry, light cleaning, errands, cooking meals, etc.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
