Hi! My name is Gicely Sarai , I’m a professional nanny with over 15 years of experience working with private families in New York City, and I was also a kindergarten teacher in my home country. I’m CPR certified and experienced with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including caring for multiple children at once. I truly enjoy engaging with kids through reading, singing, dancing, age-appropriate arts and crafts, puzzles, outdoor play, and outings to parks, museums, and zoos. Reading is one of my favorite activities with children , Little Blue Truck is my favorite book ! I speak English and Spanish, I’m responsible, dependable, and caring, and I have excellent and impeccable references from families I’ve worked with. I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your family and childcare needs. Feel free to message me through UrbanSitter. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
“I’m very happy with Gicely. She’s been watching our baby on a regular basis and has been punctual, polite, reliable, and flexible. Our baby warmed up to her right away and she is so sweet and patient.”
Hi, I’m Mary Ellen (M.E. for short). I’m a warm, compassionate, attentive caretaker and graduate student. I’m looking for part-time to full-time opportunities while I complete my degree. I have experience with infants, toddlers, pre-teens, special needs adults, and pets. I currently provide community habilitation services to young women with autism and intellectual disabilities, including remote job coaching, mentorship, and executive functioning support. With years of reporting, interviewing, and managing complex workflows as a journalist, I bring strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills to caregiving. My background has trained me to stay calm under pressure, listen closely, and respond thoughtfully when supporting my clients. I’m organized, dependable, and skilled at creating structure while encouraging independence and creativity. My experience collaborating with diverse communities has strengthened my ability to connect with individuals from different backgrounds and build trust quickly. Above all, I’m empathetic and committed to fostering a safe, positive environment where each individual feels heard, supported, and engaged.
Hi, I’m Miss. Emily! I’ve always looked for opportunities to work with children and genuinely enjoy being around them. In my full time role as an urban planner, my work is often structured and fast paced, so I really value the opportunity to spend time in a more playful, engaging environment where I can connect with kids and bring a positive, upbeat energy. I have extensive babysitting experience caring for children from newborns to middle schoolers, including school pick ups, coordinating playdates and extracurricular activities, helping with homework, and managing nap and bedtime routines. I’m primarily looking for occasional or part time babysitting opportunities such as date nights, after school care, or weekend help, and I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of ages and responsibilities. I’m someone kids tend to feel comfortable around pretty quickly. I’m naturally warm and attentive, and I enjoy keeping them engaged through outdoor time, crafts, and reading while adjusting my approach based on their personality. I’ve also stayed involved with children through volunteer work such as summer camps, mentoring, and tutoring, and previously worked part time as a Spanish kindergarten teacher, which gave me hands on classroom experience. I value creating a fun, engaging environment where kids feel comfortable, cared for, and free to be themselves!
I'm a native New Yorker working on getting my undergraduate in Fashion Design. I have 5+ years experience in childcare, and can work with children or infants. As of recently, I have worked with toddlers and older babies. In my free time I love to sew, go to the park and make music!
My name is Candace and I’m offering child care and household services. I am an energetic, responsible, and experienced childcare professional with a passion for creating fun, engaging, and memorable experiences for children of all ages. My background includes working with children in educational, recreational, and entertainment settings, allowing me to build strong connections while fostering creativity, confidence, and learning. As a performer with Disney Cruise Line, I had the opportunity to inspire and entertain children daily through music, storytelling, and dance. I also worked as a dance instructor teaching children ages 6 months to 8 years old, helping them develop coordination, self-expression, and confidence in a positive and encouraging environment. In addition, I have held multiple after-school teaching positions where I worked with children ranging from preschool age through middle school, supporting their growth through educational and enrichment activities. I also owned and operated a princess party company, where I spent weekends creating magical experiences for children while ensuring every event was safe, interactive, and engaging. My experience has taught me how to connect with children of different ages and personalities, maintain a safe and nurturing environment, and keep kids entertained through creative activities, games, crafts, music, and imaginative play. I am reliable, patient, and dedicated to making every child feel valued, supported, and excited to learn and have fun. I also have a passion for dogs and raised my goldendoodle in the city since he was 10 weeks old. I have experience dog walking and dog sitting!
