Hello! I’m Halima—a seasoned sitter based on the Upper East Side with over 15 years of childcare experience, including 12 years right here on Sittercity. I’m a Yale graduate currently preparing for a master’s degree at Columbia Journalism School while working flexible hours on passion projects. My background includes roles as an After School Teacher and Day Camp Counselor at the YMCA, K–12 tutoring, and highly tailored nannying. I’ve cared for children of all ages—from spirited toddlers needing extra attention to ambitious high schoolers navigating Ivy League prep. Whether through creative play, thoughtful structure, elite academic support, or emotional grounding, I meet each child where they are—with patience, insight, and warmth. I’d be honored to care for and mentor your little ones. I look forward to connecting with your family!

My husband and I were in LA for a few nights and last minute needed a sitter to come for one night. We didn't have time to interview a lot of applicants, but after one phone conversation with Halima I felt comfortable and confident having her watch the kids. Between her background working with kids and her sweet nature, she was a hit right away with mine. She was very responsive and did a great job. Definitely recommended!
