Hello Families, My name is Angela, and I am from Colombia. I am a graduate student in Public Health. I have been caring for children for the past 18 years. I am CPR/First Aid certified and possess a California driver's license. I am current on all my vaccines. I am also a certified Postpartum Doula with over 13 years of experience. My philosophy is to support the baby, the mom, and the family in creating a balanced and loving environment. I am highly dedicated to my work and take it seriously. I enjoy activities such as engaging in art projects, visiting parks, museums, and zoos, going for walks, and baking with children. I appreciate parents who provide clear instructions for their children's routines, set boundaries, and communicate effectively. One preference I have is that children usually stay away from screens while with me, except on weekends, although I respect if parents prefer otherwise. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions!

Hello, My name is Elodie, and I am a native of France, fluent in English, French, and Spanish. I hold a degree in Fashion Design, Applied Arts, and Marketing from a renowned fashion and art school. I am reliable and available to care for your children. In addition to being a certified rescue diver with valid First Aid and CPR certifications, I am also an animal lover. I am here to make your life easier, ensuring you can enjoy a worry-free night out or a productive workday. Availability: Full-time, part-time, evenings, and weekends. My goal is to enhance your children’s proficiency in the French language, culture, education, and traditions. I also aim to cultivate their artistic senses by exploring art through museum visits, crafts, and music. Throughout my studies and freelance work, I have cared for several families over the past fifteen years, with children ranging from 2 months to 14 years old, both in Paris and New York. I possess strong organizational, artistic, and communication skills, which I believe are crucial attributes of a good babysitter. I am flexible and adaptable, with extensive knowledge of child psychology and development. Above all, I am committed to nurturing and encouraging healthy emotional and physical development. I will always ensure your children are safe and having fun through activities such as games, art, and sports. I find immense joy in taking care of children and teaching them. I regularly engage in sports, love swimming, and enjoy classical music (I played the violin for seven years) and yoga. I am passionate about healthy vegan cuisine, art, fashion, and reading. I am fun, bubbly, responsible, and caring. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, where they feel protected and can thrive. I hope my experience and skills encourage you to contact me so we can meet in person. If you have any questions or require references, please feel free to reach out. Kind regards, Elodie

Booked by 70 families in Astoria, NY

Hello! My name is Katryna, and I’m a preschool teacher, musician, and experienced childcare provider based in NYC. I currently teach at a family learning and social club in Tribeca, and I’m looking for part-time or occasional childcare work to supplement my teaching schedule. I’m a graduate of The Institute of American Musical Theatre and have been working with children for 10 years through teaching, babysitting, and performing arts education. I’ve taught music, theatre, martial arts, and creative programming to children ages 2–12, in addition to my infant babysitting experience and I’m CPR/First Aid and EpiPen trained. Growing up in a military family with younger siblings taught me early on how important it is for kids to feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I bring that same warmth and respect to the children I work with, whether we’re making music, getting creative, or just hanging out at home. :)

"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."
