Hello! I'm Samira 😊 I have been taking care of children since I was 17 years old, and over the years it has become something that feels very natural to me. I have worked as a nanny and Au Pair with children of different ages, helping with their daily routines, school collections, activities and simply being part of their daily life. I really enjoy working with kids because I naturally connect with them. I’m a very patient, empathetic, and attentive person, and I pay close attention to their emotions and needs. I like creating a calm, positive environment where they feel comfortable, but also keeping things fun and engaging through play and simple activities. I’m also reliable, organized, and someone families can truly count on. I value building a trusting relationship and bringing a warm, positive energy into the home. I am a native Spanish speaker (I'm originally from Argentina) and I speak English fluently, and I am happy to incorporate both languages naturally if that is something you would like.
“It is a pleasure to write this recommendation for Samira, who served as an extraordinary au pair for our family over the past eighteen months. Samira joined our household when our daughter was just two and a half years old, and she cared for her until she turned four. From day one, Samira exceeded every expectation, demonstrating an incredible mix of responsibility, warmth, intelligence, and grace. Samira was far more than a traditional caregiver; she was a dedicated educator, a nurturing role model, and an irreplaceable part of our child’s early development. It is completely natural for parents to feel anxious or cautious when bringing someone new into their home to care for their children. We certainly understood that initial worry, but meeting Samira immediately put all of our concerns to rest. She made an incredible first impression. Her warm, friendly, curious, intelligent, and grounded personality was instantly clear, as was her natural ability to connect with young children. From the very beginning, her genuine commitment to childcare and family well-being shone through. Throughout her tenure with us, Samira displayed an exceptional ability to balance the complex responsibilities of childcare. She seamlessly navigated the delicate act of being a clear disciplinarian, an engaging teacher, and a joyful, trusted friend. She introduced creative educational concepts and fun learning activities daily, teaching our daughter so much while keeping her continually engaged, safe, and curious about the world around her. She handled every routine, challenge, and daily transition with immense patience and supreme politeness. By the end of her term with us, the bond between Samira and our daughter was nothing short of wonderful. Watching our daughter grow, learn, and thrive under Samira's care was a great joy for our family. Samira was not only a caregiver our daughter trusted implicitly, but also a true role model whose positive habits, kindness, and strong values left a lasting impact. I can say without a single hesitation or reservation that there is strictly no negative comment to make regarding Samira’s time with us. She is prompt, highly responsive, dependable, and thoroughly capable of handling any childcare need, whether full-time, part-time, early morning, or evening care. She is a guaranteed, top-tier choice for any family fortunate enough to work with her.”
Hello, my name is Jenna and I have been a caregiver and working with children for most of my life! I am an ESL teacher in Manhattan. I have experience with children of all ages and needs, including 1-on-1 experience working with children with disabilities. I am going to be living in NYC for the last week of April and the full month of May. I am looking for as much consistent work as I can get. In addition to being an educator, I grew up with many cousins and as the oldest sibling often had to watch over the younger family members. I am patient, communicative, loyal, organized, nurturing, flexible, and love children. I also have had pets my whole life and enjoy furry friends of many kinds. I am CPR certified, know how to meal prep and cook, love to be outside, clean, organized, love to craft, and more.
Greetings, my name is Paula. I am a nurse by trade with 5 years of experience. Additionally I have 5 years of experience working with children which includes: babysitting, pediatric clinic, vision therapist (for children with misalignments in their eyes, traumatic brain injuries, and to improve hand-eye coordination), and soccer coach. My nursing career has been centered around post-operative patients so I may be useful with post-operative care for an array of surgeries. My personal qualities related to caregiving include being patient, attentive, and engaged. At baseline I am upbeat and would love to encourage outdoor, interactive play, sports and other activities to encourage movement and problem solving. I look forward to assisting your family with child care or elderly care. Thank you, P
Hi! My name is Clarisa and I am a reliable, caring, and experienced babysitter based in the NYC area. I currently work part time and am available for date nights, weekends, and occasional babysitting. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, especially school age kids. Most recently, I spent the past 3 years in a consistent role caring for children, which has strengthened my ability to create structure, build trust, and keep kids engaged in a positive way. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in being more than just a babysitter. I aim to be a positive role model and someone kids feel safe, supported, and comfortable around. Whether it is helping with routines, homework, or just making sure they are having a fun and relaxed evening, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a calm, positive energy into every home. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am very comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I am happy to help with light tidying related to the children and keeping things organized during my time there. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident when leaving their children with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am dependable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s needs and routines. I value the level of care I provide and look forward to connecting with families who are looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely invested in their children’s well being.
Hi my name is Chuck and I love working with pets. I've been working with them for over 5 years now. I do it full time and have gained so much experience that has helped keep me and the pets I take care of safe and happy. I get a personal joy from knowing that these beautiful animals are taken care of and that their owners are happy with the job I've done. I'm always happy and ready to do it again and again

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
