Booked by 1 family in East Elmhurst, NY

As one of 7 children and a certified special needs caregiver in Washington State, I have a lifetime of experience for your child no matter their level of needs. I’m a 21 year old NYU writing student who loves to play and explore the imaginations of the children I care for. I’ve had experience with ages newborn-13 years old and have been nannying for 9 years, taking care of the home, taking children to and from school/daycare/extracurriculars, preparing meals, and handling bedtime. You can count on me to go on new adventures, start exciting creative projects, and go all in during playtime with your child. I love to get to know and be comfortable with the entire family so that your child can feel at peace with me in your home. Hope to meet you and your family soon <3

Hello, My name is Elana, For the past 10 years, I've been privileged to nurture children's growth and offer families dependable childcare. My calm and patient nature allows me to connect easily with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I enjoy sparking their imaginations with creative activities, board games, and even educational outings .I follow each family's lead when it comes to household rules and communication preferences. I am comfortable caring for one or more children at a time. I'm also happy to help with cooking, and light housekeeping. Speaking both English and Spanish, I can offer a diverse learning environment. I'm excited to bring my experience and passion to your family, creating a safe and fun space where your child can thrive.

“Elana is great, works super well with our three year old (pick ups after school), is prompt and communicative, and has created a great bond. Our daughter always comes home with energy and positivity after the pick up.”

Molly $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Molly, I’m a full-time Montessori infant teacher, and I have experience working with children from 6 months to 13 years old! I'm passionate about the Montessori philosophy and love creating child-led experiences that encourage independence, creativity, and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities are making art, reading, spending time outdoors, and exploring nature. I'm looking for a part-time evening position (around 6–11 PM) with a family I'd love to build a long-term relationship with, ideally growing into a full-time role. P.S. I'm allergic to cats, but I'm happy to care for any other pets!

I love working with kids and being outdoors. I am vaccinated and boosted. I have a little experience in tutoring and am a recent college graduate. I would be able to help out with homework as necessary. I am almost fluent in Spanish. I feel very confident in working with children with special needs. I have experience being an aquatic therapist and teaching kids with various disabilities how to swim. Additionally, I was a social coach in high school and worked with students with special needs in helping them with homework, teaching them social skills, and job skills. I have been a lifeguard for 5 years and have my CPR certification. I have taught swim lessons to all age groups as young as 2 and as old as 18. I have taken a babysitting course at the Seattle Childrens when I was younger and have babysat quite a bit over the years. I also was part of a program in college to volunteer with homeless children at an after school program. This included serving them dinner, helping with homework and some fun activities. I have always loved dogs and have been around them my whole life. I feel very confident working with dogs of any size/breed. I volunteered at a dog shelter for many years and have had experience with timid and active dogs. As for cleaning, I have always helped around the house with chores and am willing to clean anything given the proper supplies.

Hi - My name is Sara, and I’m currently a second-year master’s candidate in the Department of Environmental Health Science as part of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. I enjoy babysitting and have grown up helping family and friends by caring for infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16. My responsibilities have included changing diapers, warming bottles, making snacks, watching them while the parents are away, getting them ready for bed, walking them to their bus stops, storytelling, and even some arts and crafts! I worked with multiple clients as a self-employed private educator overseas for ~5 years. I taught a self-developed curriculum based on the experts’ approach to teaching English as a foreign language. I tutored English, Science, Mathematics, and History for students in international schools. (1st grade to 12th). As well as English reading and writing for students with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia. Additionally, I assisted in developing the curriculum for Happy Bees overseas before the grand opening and held a preschool and kindergarten teacher position. I volunteered at a nursing home throughout high school. I recently received a bachelor of science degree in community health, which has deepened my understanding of populations in every age group. As the years pass, I’ve been assisting my parents with more tasks and am very comfortable with senior care. I can do light cooking, help with organizing, or other responsibilities. (I also enjoy technology-free conversation zones and board games). I am a big fan of pets! I’ve had turtles, birds, and cats. I have five cats back home, one of which is the queen, who gave birth to three healthy kittens in my bed, refusing to do so anywhere else in the house. Of course, I was there for her every step of the way, soothing and feeding her calming treats. I am very familiar with their care and needs. While I’ve never had a dog, I’ve walked my friends’ and thoroughly enjoy their company. If needed, I am open to day/weekend-long babysitting, pet care, and housesitting.

“Sara was lovely with our three-year old daughter!”

"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."
