$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’m an experienced caregiver and recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. I currently work full time as an Operations Specialist at a high school, where I support over 500 students and help manage the day to day systems that keep the school running smoothly. Alongside my professional role, I babysit part time because childcare has always been something I genuinely love and feel passionate about. I have years of hands on experience caring for children of all ages, including babysitting for family, friends, and private clients. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged with creative play, organizing fun and enriching activities, helping with homework, or maintaining structured routines, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids feel supported and comfortable. I’m First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, so safety is always a top priority in my care. Additionally, I’m bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese and am happy to communicate in whichever language best supports your family’s needs. Beyond childcare, I also have experience with pet care, so if you have furry family members, they’ll be well looked after too! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, exploring community events, and playing chess. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Valentina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Valentina. I’m a 22-year-old college student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where I study Advertising and Marketing Communications. I currently live in NYC and am looking for babysitting opportunities with families in the area. I have experience working with children as a babysitter and former camp counselor, caring for kids ages 3–10. I also taught Spanish to elementary school students (grades 1–5) as part of my high school Spanish Language and Global Citizen program, where I created and led engaging, interactive lesson plans in a classroom setting. I really enjoy working with children and bringing a balance of structure, creativity, and fun into their day. I’m comfortable helping with homework, light cooking, errands, and general household support. Outside of childcare, I’m a very active and creative person. I’m a former soccer player and love outdoor activities, sports, and staying active with kids. I also enjoy creative activities like art, painting, film, theatre, and storytelling. I’m open to working with children of different personalities and energy levels, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged.

Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria and I am a born and raised New Yorker from the Upper East Side. What I think is most unique about my experience with childcare in the city is that I was also raised in the city so I know what the experience and context of everything is like. I have been a nanny for 3 1/2 years and it is my passion to work with children. I have worked consistently with 5 families on the UES (my own business)that are willing to give exceptional references on my behalf. I also have worked with two families in the Hamptons The families I work for have children aged from 7 months- 8 years of age. Because I plan on becoming a behavioral therapist for autistic children, I incorporate a variety of activities fun and educational into my nannying. I am not only caring and creating a safe environment for your children, but teaching them important skills to learn and grow. I am very organized and will always have activities for your children!I am very energetic and attentive and have a very close relationship with all the families I work with. If you are looking for someone who plays attentively, encourages learning growth skills, puts children’s safety first, adapts to family dynamic quickly and is more than familiar with the neighborhood I am the person for you :) I am very flexible right now as the family I ave worked or just moved back to London.

"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."
