Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi - My name is Glory and I'm currently a graduate student at Columbia. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am happy to work with families with dogs.

“I highly recommend Glory as a babysitter. She has worked with my family in the past and consistently demonstrated a high level of responsibility, warmth, and professionalism. Glory is incredibly attentive and patient with children. She is able to create a calm, engaging environment while also maintaining structure and safety. Whether it’s helping with routines, organizing activities, or simply being present and attentive, she brings a thoughtful and caring approach to everything she does. What stands out most is her reliability and communication. She is always punctual, responsive, and proactive in updating me, which gave me a strong sense of trust and peace of mind.”

Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

I am a college graduate with my master’s and bachelor’s in electrical engineering. I’ve worked for a summer tech camp where I had to supervise a group of 20 or so campers between the ages of 5-13. I also have tutored kids in that age range. I have 3 cats of my own and have had them for 5 years now. I am very positive, energetic, and detail oriented.

“Hillary has been babysitting for us for a couple of months now and she has been great with our daughter! She has good availability and can also help with math and science if needed”

Erik 1 review
$23 per hour for 1 child

I enjoy babysitting and have been caring for children of all ages—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids for many years, especially growing up with younger siblings. My experience includes driving children to and from school, organizing crafts and activities, and providing elementary-level tutoring. In addition, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cleaning, cooking, running errands, transportation to appointments, and other daily tasks. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets and multi-generational families, including those with grandparents.

“Erik was our nanny for 2–3 years, and if we could have taken him with us when we moved, we absolutely would have. He became such an important part of our family. Erik became such an important part of our family. He is an incredible caregiver — patient, loyal, and deeply trustworthy. He prepared meals for our children, handled overnights with confidence, and was always there whenever a situation came up. We always felt completely at ease knowing our kids were in his care. Any family would be so lucky to have him.”

Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

As the oldest sibling of 4, I really have a knack for entertaining kids. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to work early morning and late nights. I was a camp counselor for 4 years so I have a lot of experience with kids from the ages of 4 - 16. I also have spent 3 years nannying for a family who had an infant, so I also have infant experience.

“Great!”

Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi there! My name is Madelyn, and I am a performer offering child care and pet sitting services. I'm a fun-loving individual with a background in teaching and theme park princess work. I’ve been babysitting kiddos of various ages for several years now! My responsibilities have spanned anywhere from transporting children to/from school, tutoring, mealtime/bedtime routines, and the occasional game of freeze dance! I am happy to work with any and all animals (I even have experience feeding snakes!) I don’t scare easily!

“Madelyn is an absolute gem. Her communication was excellent and my toddler had the best morning in her care. She easily kept him engaged through creative play, and my son was disappointed when she had to leave! Highly recommend!”

"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."
