Hi! My name is Laura, and I’m a bilingual Argentinian artist based in NYC. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, starting when I was 18 years old caring for young children, and for the past 8 years in New York I have worked with families as both a babysitter and full-time nanny. My experience includes caring for children from 2 months old through 13 years old. I also worked as a full-time nanny for 2 years caring for two toddlers, helping manage daily routines including meals, naps, playtime, outdoor activities, bedtime routines, and developmental support. As an artist, I love incorporating creativity into childcare through arts and crafts, imaginative play, storytelling, and engaging hands-on activities. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can feel comfortable and supported. I also have experience with pet care and am very comfortable in homes with dogs, cats, and am open to pet sitting opportunities. I’m open to babysitting, nannying, recurring care, date nights, school pickups, and family support. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!
“We've been lucky to know Lau since my daughter was just two months old, and she's been a trusted sitter for our family over the past seven years. Over that time, she's become part of our family's village, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She is kind, creative, fun, and genuinely loves being with kids. She she gets down on their level, plays, creates, and treats them with respect. My daughter and her friends adore her, listen to her, and she has a calm, effortless way of building trust while still providing structure. Lau is reliable, trustworthy and a great soul to be around. Any family would be lucky to have her.”
Hi! My name is Azra, and I’m a college student in New York City. I’m a dependable, patient, and friendly caregiver who enjoys creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for children. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing arts and crafts, or simply keeping kids engaged, I’m happy to help make your family’s day a little easier. I’ve worked in customer service for several years, which has taught me responsibility, communication, and how to stay calm under pressure. I’m comfortable helping with meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, and keeping routines organized. I’m also happy to assist with homework and creative activities, especially drawing, painting, and other arts and crafts. I’m currently attending college while working, so I understand the importance of being reliable, punctual, and respectful of every family’s unique routine. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind while making sure their children feel safe, cared for, and have fun.
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.”

Hi! My name is Brandon, and I’m 22 years old. I recently graduated from NYU’s Rory Meyers College of Nursing with a minor in Child & Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I currently work as a Pediatric Oncology/Hematology/BMT Nurse at a children’s hospital in New York City. Through my nursing career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children from newborns to young adults. I am CPR/AED certified and highly attentive to children’s needs and behavior, which ensures your child’s safety and well-being. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and would love the opportunity to babysit for your family. While my nursing schedule can vary, I will always communicate clearly about my availability. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help with: Tutoring and homework support, school pick-up and drop-off, light cleaning and cooking, and general household tasks.

"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
