Hello! My name is Haley and I'm a New York transplant by way of San Francisco (with a detour for college in New Orleans). I'm currently working as a tech recruiter, but enjoy spending my off time on the weekend or in the evenings babysitting :) Childcare Experience: My mom owns a preschool in San Francisco and I spent many summers there helping with the children growing up (between the ages of 2 and 6). I have also been fairly regularly babysitting since I was 15 and have always enjoyed it!

Booked by 4 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hello! I’m Eloïse. I’m an NYC raised college student studying architecture, originally born in France. I have 6 years of experience providing reliable, responsible, and engaging childcare and pet care across the city, and I can provide local references upon request. What I can bring to your family: • Languages: I’m a fluent French speaker and I love introducing kids to new languages through games and casual conversation! • Academic Support: Because of my architecture studies, I am incredibly organized and detail oriented. I love providing structured homework help and tutoring. • Creative Fun: I enjoy designing arts & crafts projects, organizing activities, and planning fun, educational outings around the city. • Daily Logistics: I’m super comfortable with school pick-ups, meal prep, and light housework to keep your home running smoothly. A little more about me: - I love reading, playing the piano, and making jewelry! - I live in Manhattan with my Australian Shepherd and tabby cat. - I’m pursuing my degree in architecture with a long term goal of specializing in historical preservation design and adaptive reuse. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting and petsitting jobs or a part-time, long-term position with a kind family. If you think we’d be a good fit, please reach out!

“We had a large number of interested sitters for our job, but Eloise stood out immediately with her confident, personal introduction as well as her clear communication in sorting out the details with us. She came by for a meet & greet with the cats and it was a definite fit…they both like her! Eloise followed our instructions perfectly and provided those invaluable ‘proof of life’ photos that every anxious pet parent likes to see. She gave a brief summary of her interactions with the cats and a litter box report (we asked for that last one). We feel that our cats were in the best possible hands with Eloise and are thrilled to offer our wholehearted recommendation for her services!”

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.”

Gláucia 6 reviews

Booked by 2 families in Jackson Heights, NY

I have experience caring for children from early infancy through early adolescence. I worked as an Au Pair in the United States, where I was responsible for the children’s daily routine, including feeding, transportation, recreational activities, academic support, and general care. In addition, I volunteer at a children’s hospital, where I carry out playful and educational activities with children of different ages. My background in Pharmacy also provides me with knowledge in health and first aid, contributing to safe and responsible childcare.

“We scheduled Gláucia last minute and she was very quick to get in touch and coordinate. We were able to show her our daughter’s bedtime routine and she did a great job getting her to sleep! We had an awesome night out and will book her again soon.”

"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."
