Hi! I’m Ari! I am a high energy, patient and loving caretaker! I have 10+ years of experience working with infants, children and teens of all ages! I also have experience working with people that have been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. I most recently worked at a local school as a teachers aide during the day for students ages 4-12. And after school as a high school boys and girls club counselor. Additionally, this past summer, I was also employed at a local day care for babies from 3mos- 3year olds in Riverdale, NY. During the school year, I can help work on school work with school aged children just as much as we can go to the park and play! I am open minded and always communicate my ideas with parents/guardians. I also have experience taking care of seniors, going to doctor’s appointments and accompanying seniors to day care facilities in the past as well as medication weekly distribution, glucose daily analysis (pinching finger to measure blood glucose levels.) I am an animal lover with experience walking, sitting and caring for animals( cats, dogs, frogs, turtles, fish, iguanas). I know how to keep a tidy home, wash laundry, cook and manage household errands as dry cleaning, booking appointments, grabbing groceries, post office errands and prepping for religious observances. Book me for your next vacation, work day or night off from the day to day hustle and bustle of NY!

NYC-based. A bit about my background: Most recently, I served as a Public Speaking Instructor for teens through TED Summer School at Barnard College, where I loved helping students build confidence and find their voice. I’ve also nannied children from 6 months to 12 years old, including a 2-year-old I cared for on weekends and during daycare drop-off and pickup. While in college, I was a dedicated part-time nanny for two Bay Area families, and over the years I’ve also worked as a YMCA therapeutic youth mentor, Girl Scout camp counselor, and Boys & Girls Club and Make-A-Wish volunteer. Child development matters deeply to me. I have 20 years of experience working with children. I studied Sociology (BA from UCSB) and understand how meaningful early experiences can be in shaping a child’s confidence and sense of self. When I babysit, I like to actively engage children through imaginative play, creativity, conversation, and activities—with limited technology when possible. I want children to feel heard, understood, cared for, and free to be themselves. I’m also happy to handle bedtime or naps, including winding down with a good book. My availability is currently flexible as I settle into my new NYC neighborhood, so I’m happy to connect about recurring or occasional childcare needs. I’d love to get to know your family!

“Stephanie is a delight! She took great care of our 2 yo. She's attentive and kind and fun. We worked with her as a regular – she helped out with daycare pickup and dropoff, date nights, and weekend care. She was always on time, professional, organized, and communicative. We were sad when she moved away, and our 2 yo still asks about her!”

Hi my name is Katherine! I’m currently a student at the College of Mount Saint Vincent. I am offering child care services. I’m also able to drive. Throughout the years, I’ve babysat toddlers and kids: from relatives and family friends. Some activities I love to do with the kids are crafts, coloring and drawing.

A nurturing, responsible, and energetic nanny with over 5 years of experience caring for children from newborn through elementary age is seeking a full-time position. I am currently pursuing my degree in Elementary Education and bring a strong passion for helping children grow, learn, and develop through play, reading, structured routines, and creative activities. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.

“We had a wonderful experience with Libby. My son absolutely loved her as a babysitter. She was playful, attentive, and genuinely caring, and she was very responsive to his needs. Libby was always punctual, often arriving early, and consistently reliable when we needed her. She engaged my son thoughtfully and made him feel comfortable and happy. We will absolutely be rebooking her and highly recommend her to other families.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."
