Booked by 76 families in New York, NY

I grew up in New York City with a younger brother in an arts driven, multicultural family. My passions are language, grounding in nature, traveling, epicurean adventures, cooking, wellness and the arts. Along with my work in childcare, I am a published fine artist working in photography. I believe kids can teach us a lot with their curiosity, wisdom and free spirits. I always learn something new about myself in the company of children and I’ve worked with all ages from newborns to teenagers. I find them totally inspiring for my own creative work. I am also a big believer in families and have been offering them support through nurture, protection and care for nearly two decades. I’m currently expanding my knowledge and ability to support families through Doula studies. I seek connection with compassionate and kind families who value the contribution of caregivers~ those who know the work of care is a beautiful act of service that upholds the wellbeing of our collective. *Please be honest in your post or when we speak whether you have a sick child. A sick child rate is available, discussed and agreed upon at hire.

“Nora helped me out when I needed it most. She was very reliable and I felt like my kids were in good hands. I plan to ask her for her services in the future. My kids really enjoyed spending time with Nora.”

Hi! I’m Mia, a student at Hunter College in NYC. I have experience helping families with childcare, school pickups, homework support, meal preparation, and household responsibilities. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and creating a positive environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. Whether it’s reading together, helping with homework, spending time outdoors, or simply being part of their daily routine, I always aim to make each day enjoyable and productive. I’m dependable, patient, and adaptable, and I understand that every family has different needs and routines. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with pet care, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, and organization. I value being someone families can depend on and enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents through consistency, kindness, and open communication.

Booked by 8 families in New York, NY

Hi everyone - My name is Yoselin, and I’m a student at Queens College. I’m offering childcare, dog care, and cleaning services. I’ve been babysitting children aged 6 months to 12 years old for over three years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects), crafts, and even given dance lessons because, as a fun fact, I’m a collegiate dancer with training in various genres. This last year I’ve had the pleasure of working with two families. Both under the age of two. However, I am actively looking to start a new position so please feel free to reach out. I’ve also dog-sited and house-sited before 😊 • I can provide references ! Please note the following: To ensure my own safety, I require a uber or taxi back home for jobs that finish after 10 PM. I’m more than happy to complete a job that pays below my usual rate(s) if I apply for it.

“Yoselin was amazing with our 5 yr old! Lots of play time and she brought him out of his shy shell. We will definitely be hiring Yoselin again and highly recommend her to other families. ”

"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."
