Booked by 9 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi! My name is Skylar, and I’m a recent UC Irvine graduate. I have several years of babysitting experience and have cared for children ranging from infants as young as 6 months to teens up to 17 years old. I enjoy adapting to each child’s needs, whether that’s playing, reading, helping with homework, or being a supportive and fun companion. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, meal prep, and keeping things organized. I also have experience working at a dog adoption center and caring for pets of all sizes, plus I grew up with dogs myself. I love playing games of all kinds, board games, outdoor games, and even video games, and I especially enjoy making learning fun, particularly with math. Families often tell me they appreciate that I’m responsible, caring, and always ready to keep kids engaged and happy in a safe environment.

Hi! My name’s Guadalupe, and I’ve always had a natural talent for caring for others and creating calm, positive environments. I have several years of experience working with children—everything from school pick-ups and homework help to planning fun outings and bedtime routines. I’m patient, responsible, and very organized, which helps me stay on top of daily tasks while keeping kids happy and safe. I’ve also helped with light household duties like meal prep, laundry, and tidying up, and I’m comfortable around pets (I’ve cared for both dogs and cats). Families I’ve worked with describe me as reliable, warm, and communicative. I really enjoy building trusting relationships and becoming part of a family’s support system.

Hey There! I’m Derek i’ve worked at the YMCA since I was 14, spending over 4 years of experience in aftercare and summer camp for kids aged all the way from 3-13. I currently have my CPR, Med-Admin, and Child Care Certifications up to date. I’ve been told i’m patient and playful, great for keeping kids active and engaged. I’ve also had pets my whole life, big and small, so I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, sitting or any light household task. I’m more than happy to help with any elder care. Currently a sophomore at Pace University and I bring energy and care into each job guaranteed, always ready to help when needed!

“Derek is an amazing babysitter! He is dependable, punctual, and clearly loves working with kids. My child felt comfortable and happy right away, and I appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout the evening. I felt at ease knowing my child was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Booked by 12 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hello! I absolutely adore babysitting because I enjoy caring for others and playing with children's wild imaginations. As a highly experienced caregiver, I hold an associate degree in Early Childhood education, am currently finishing my bachelor's in human services and community, and have worked at the Rockefeller University Child and Family Center for six years. During that time, I gained an extensive background in babysitting and teaching children of all ages. In addition to my education and work experience, I am also trained in CPR and first aid, so you can trust that your child is in safe hands. I am also highly flexible and available to work on short notice or at irregular hours. In fact, I am able to work overnight and most weekends, so you can have peace of mind knowing that I am always there for your family. I've built great connections with many families from this website, some of whom I've even remained close with to this day. In fact, I'm honored to say that one child I used to babysit is now a part of my wedding! I mention this to let you know that I'm more than just a babysitter; I truly care about the families I work with and strive to build meaningful relationships with them. If you're looking for a reliable, caring babysitter who truly loves what she does, I would be honored to work with your family. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a time to chat. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

“Needed a sitter to help me throw my daughter's pink princess bday party at her school. Lauren was wonderful - punctual, helpful, knowledgable about toddler bday parties, personable, professional and strong. The students (two and three year olds) loved her. Lauren stepped into the MC role, also held that stuffed pinata for a long time with very few breaks for about 15 minutes as 14 toddlers took their turns to try to beat it open (with my daughter getting first and last turns). Lauren is at the top of my list for next year's school party. Grateful that she applied and accepted the job. Highly recommend.”

Booked by 68 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hello my name is Sade. I am 30 and currently majoring in Speech Pathology. Starting at the age of 14, I began my first job at the Brooklyn Children's Museum. Working with toddlers at a young age taught me the patience I would need working with children. Years later I'm even more passionate about children and experienced with children aged 13 months to 15 years old, but I am also comfortable with younger infants. I can do anything that is expected from changing diapers and making sure your child is fed to helping with homework and getting them ready for bed. With amazing weather upon us, there are many kid-friendly activities to enjoy such as going to the parks, museums, shows, 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."
