Booked by 1 family in Astoria, NY

Hi - I'm Lila and I'm a born and raised New Yorker spending my summer in the city before starting at University of St. Andrews in Scotland in September. I'm offering part-time child and/or pet care, along with light housekeeping. I love kids and have previous experience babysitting ages 3-9 years old. I grew up attending a local private school, and I'm experienced with the after-school pick-up and lesson commute! I like doing creative activities with kids - playing, reading, dancing, and arts & crafts. (When working as a docent in a museum I worked with kids and created a museum scavenger hunt!). I'm also a cat lover and owner with significant feline experience. I can also work with families with dogs.

“Lila is very knowledgeable about cat and we have great first impression about her.”

Kathryn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Kathryn, and I've been immersed in caregiving since 2013, starting with babysitting my two nephews- each with very different personalities and needs. One is autistic and more sensitive and introverted, while the other is energetic and outgoing, which taught me how to adapt quickly and support a wide range of temperaments. I’ve led Sunday school classes for children ages 3–11+, often managing groups of up to 15, which helped me develop strong multitasking and leadership skills. Throughout high school and college, I continued babysitting for families with children ranging from infants to preteens. While attending college in Arizona, I joined Busy Bees Babysitting, where I became CPR and First Aid certified and worked with kids of all ages and family dynamics. In 2023, I became a nanny for three girls (3 months, 4, and 7 years old), and truly grew into a big-sister role. I’m dependable, adaptable, patient, and passionate about providing a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child I care for!

Booked by 1 family in Astoria, NY

My name is Kasia. I speak Polish, English, some Italian, and a little Spanish. I studied ancient history/ Archeology, so I'm interested in history, especially the history of Ancient Rome, and art. I enjoy visiting the Metropolitan Museum, reading, and traveling. I've worked as a nanny in New York City for 20 years, caring for babies (including twins), toddlers, and preschoolers. I'm patient and calm, I love children, and I still maintain contact with them. I'm happy to help with travel and even babysit when parents are away. I'm also flexible and can work weekends, evenings, and nights if needed. I can also prepare children's meals, do light cleaning, iron, and care for pets.

“Kasia took wonderful care of my children from 2021 through 2024. She worked for us in New York, then lived with us for 8 months in Florida and traveled with us to Europe, Vermont and Nantucket. She is flexible, patient, loving, fun and really cares about my children. She never forgets a birthday with presents, keeps them safe and well fed. In addition to caring for the children, Kasia cooks and manages laundry. You will be lucky to have her care for your children!!”

"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."
