Hi Beautiful People, My name is Youmie. I am an entrepreneur and confidence builder living in NYC. I have been a nanny/sitter for over 15 years. I absolutely love kids! I love calm and cool kids, but I especially love kids who are sassy, expressive, and full of personality. I love making kids feel seen, heard, and understood, so I am very patient. When caring for a child, I love to give them attention and keep them stimulated, but I am also very disciplined, so I strive to provide a balance. I also have extensive experience as a night nanny for newborns. My background is in education and dance. I went to school to be a teacher. I speak 4 languages fluently. I love reading trilogies, I love being outdoors and discovering new things to do, and I love food. I also love educating and introducing children to new languages, cultures, art, and fun! I think it's very important to help children build confidence in who they are, starting very young. It helps a lot with self-esteem, bullying, and thinking for themselves. That's a personal passion of mine that I often teach each child in my care. I adore an inquisitive child. Affirmations are a daily thing with me if your child is with me. I have extensive experience with one child as well as multiples, especially twins. So I'm not afraid of working with multiple children. I also love working with new parents dealing with postpartum. I offer overnights, as well as getaways. In addition to being a nanny, I have experience in caretaking for adults and seniors. I love keeping seniors company. My recent caretaking job was close to home. My uncle had a stroke, and I helped aid him back to health. I love walking, conversing, exploring the city, and learning from seniors. I would be happy to help and support your family. I believe in the idea that it takes a village, and I'd love to help you out if you'll have me. I welcome any questions. If you're interested, please send me a note. Happy hunting! I hope you find someone amazing for your family.

“Wonderful! My children loved her. She is very fun and personable but professional and very reliable.”

Hi, I’m Tiffany, a native New Yorker with over 10 years of babysitting experience and 8 years working in school settings with children from pre-K through 8th grade. I have a background in early childhood education and human services, and I currently support middle school students in classroom settings, including children with IEPs and diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, and ODD. I also have experience teaching theater to K–8 students, which I use to help children build confidence, creativity, and self-expression in a fun and supportive way. I truly enjoy working with children and focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment where each child feels seen, supported, and comfortable being themselves. I’m available for after-school and weekend care, with additional flexibility beginning in late June

Hi families! My name is Nqobile, I'm 23 years old and originally from South Africa. I'm available throughout the week from 4:30pm and on weekends and would love to support your family during those hours. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid license and I also have a background in English tutoring. Whether it's helping with homework, engaging in play-based learning, or supporting a nap schedule for little ones, I bring a calm, patient, and joyful energy to every task. I value transparency, patience, responsibility, open communication, and I'm always eager to learn and grow. Childcare isn't just a job to me--it's a passion. I'm also currently preparing to study nursing, with a heart for caregiving in all forms. If you're looking for someone dependable, warm, and deeply committed to helping your children thrive, I'd love to be part of your family's journey!

“She was excellent! She arrived on time, was very professional, friendly, warm, and personable. My family enjoyed her caring nature and the time spent in our home. We would highly recommend booking her to care for your child/children.”

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
