Gianna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Astoria, NY

Hello! I’ve been caring for kids since I was a teenager and have over 5 years of professional experience working with children ages 5–12, as well as toddlers. I currently work as a paraprofessional, supporting kids of all abilities, including those with special needs and behavioral challenges. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children, keeping routines structured, and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m patient, calm, and adaptable, and I really focus on making kids feel understood, supported, and confident. I also have experience helping with homework, daily routines, playtime, and light household tasks. I’m currently finishing my bachelor’s degree and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I genuinely love working with kids and building strong, trusting relationships with both them and their families :)

“I needed help watching my little brothers (5yr and 3yr old) last minute and Gianna saved the day! If you’re looking for someone who is patient and attentive to your kids needs Gianna is the one. My brothers are still asking about her and when she’s coming back! Would and will hire again.”

“Having Dani watch Lilah was an absolute joy. My daughter adored her. I'm a single mom with a 10 year old who has to hustle in LA so I really needed an attentive and loving sitter and Dani answered that call. Was great at communication, very warm, patient, and attentive to my little girl. There was even an occasion that a shoot ran late and I had to have Dani stay after hours and she was so understanding and accommodating. A literal lifesaver. I can tell she loves what she does. I really think Lilah built such an attachment to her!”

Bianca 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Astoria, NY

Hi my name is Bianca and I’m currently a sophomore at CCNY. I have been a caretaker of my own cousins and nieces which gave me experience. Also I have worked in after school activities at a close middle school, so I have treated with different ages too, mostly it consisted on helping them finish their homework and do different activities for fun.

“Bianca has been wonderful with my 6-year-old son. She is kind, reliable, professional, and always calm and attentive. She keeps him engaged through play, takes him to the park, feeds him meals during the day, and leaves our home exactly as she found it. I feel confident knowing my son is in her care and would highly recommend her to any family.”

"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."
