Booked by 2 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hi there. My name is Galia. I am a patient, empathetic and energetic caregiver, offering child care, pet care and home sitting services. I am a copywriter currently looking for work, and happy to help families in the mean time. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15. But most of my experience is from the 3 years I spent as a part-time babysitter during my time at the University of Florida. I was also an after school care teacher for groups of 15+ children of all ages, for 1 year. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter on and off since 2019. These roles often involved helping children complete homework, bed time, play time, making lunch and school pick ups and drop offs. Additionally, I love cats, and I grew up with dogs, so I am more than capable of caring for them both. Plus, I speak Spanish.

Booked by 1 family in Forest Hills, NY

Hello!! I live in Midtown East!! I’m a mom. I’m very active! I’ve raised an incredible young woman who is living in England. I have spent years taking care of babies, toddlers, kids, tweens, teens. Being a mom is a hard job but I love it! I love spending time with kids/babies and playing and teaching them. I can email you references from jobs that I had before and after this app if you’d like. Looking forward to meeting your family.

“Gaby has been a great addition to our family. Within minutes of meeting our 6 month old, she was sitting on the floor, playing with him. She talks to him throughout the day and keeps him happy and entertained. She's incredibly aware of his needs for sleep, food, and fun. She's also respectful of my wishes for caring for him. Gaby is also a tremendous help around the house, helping with keeping our counters, tabletops, and floors clean! She's easy to communicate with and flexible with start times. She's always on time and very dependable. So happy we have her!”

Booked by 1 family in Forest Hills, NY

Hi! My name is Audrey, and I’m an experienced nanny and certified public school teacher with over 10 years of experience working with children in private homes and schools. I worked as a nanny while earning a B.A. in French Language and Literature in Philadelphia and again during an M.Ed program in Austin. For the last three years, I’ve worked as a French teacher both for elementary and high school students. I’m now nannying again, as well as tutoring in French. I am seeking a stable (< 30 hrs/week) nannying position, as well as occasional work, where I can become a reliable, supportive presence in a family’s life. My favorite part of this job is bonding with kids and their families. I am still in touch with many of the families I’ve worked with and really value those connections! I speak French and have lived and studied in France twice, so I would love to work with a francophone family.

“Audrey looked after our 7mo old for a whole day, and was fantastic. They went out to story time at the library, walked in the park, and generally kiddo was super happy on our return. Very professional, experienced working with kids, and easy to deal with. Would absolutely book again.”

Lisa 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am an upbeat, attentive,patient, athletic, creative, reliable, health/safety-conscious, affectionate, interactive, articulate, fun and highly- nurturing woman who has over 10 years experience working in childcare(ages 6 wks-11 yrs). I've also been employed as a Hatha Yoga instructor to NYC public schools' 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th graders as part of an experimental remedial reading/writing art program, as well as an actor in Children's Theatre, where I loved to make a young audience laugh & learn by becoming silly, educational characters. I genuinely enjoy engaging a child/ren in safe, fun, creative, developmentally-aimed play & learning, while, of course, attending to their hygiene & diet. Having cared for children from Harlem to the Hamptons, I feel quite fortunate to be able to earn a living by sharing the delightful, stimulating, and yes, challenging company of a child, as I create a supportive, safe, fun, creative, happy, healthy & loving environment, in which we can both happily learn & grow. Some of my experience has included working with disabled adults and with verbally-delayed & emotionally-challenged children. Resume with numerous letters of recommendation available upon request.

“We cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. She has been with our family for three years, starting when our eldest was just 6 months old and seamlessly welcoming our second son, born in 2024. She truly loves our boys like her own — and they feel it. What makes her exceptional is her total presence and genuine investment in our kids' development. She is never on her phone — always engaged, always stimulating: reading, singing, playing music, and getting them outside. She proactively recommends books, toys, and activities perfectly suited to each child's age and personality. When we moved from NYC to NJ, she chose to commute rather than leave our boys. That says everything. Any family would be lucky to have her.”

Abigail 1 review

Hi, My name is Abigail, and I’m currently looking for part-time, full-time, or occasional childcare, pet care, senior care, and house care work in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens! I currently live in the Carnegie Hill area, so families near this area would be a bonus! About me- Childcare: I have years of experience caring for children of all different ages! I have the most experience caring for children 10 and under, but am happy to care for children of any age 🙂. I have a large family and have always been the designated babysitter, but outside of my family, I have cared for families with children of all different ages. I believe strongly in supporting children’s development, both logically, creatively, and emotionally. Through my care, I prioritize keeping your children safe, following any family guidelines/specifics for care, and supporting your children in growing into their truest, happiest selves. I recently graduated with my degrees in environmental studies and theatre performance, and studying psychology and child development has always been a passion of mine. Since I was very little I have always wanted to be a mom, so while I am still young I have been building my toolkit to be the best mom I can be, and in the meantime, the best babysitter I can be. Senior care: I have always valued caring for seniors and providing a comforting and kind presence to be around. Near the end of my nanas life, I was one of her primary caretakers, and I ensured that her last little while here was nothing short of magical. Pet care: I've had dogs and cats in my household ever since I can remember, and have cared for rabbits, snakes, and fish outside of my own household. I love animals of all kinds and believe that they all deserve proper care, attention, love, and training.

“We’ve known Abigail for about 5 years now and she has been such a reliable, lovely, caring caretaker to our girls and our Dalmatian. We trust her but most importantly, our daughters (and dog!) absolutely adore her. She has a bit of magic about her that children love and she would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s 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."

"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."
