Booked by 7 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hi parents! My name is Brooke and I currently work in a daycare, specializing in infant and early-toddler care. I have hands-on experience caring for babies in a structured, professional childcare environment — including feeding, diapering, bottle prep, safe sleep, tummy time, developmental play, and creating a calm, nurturing routine. I’m trained to follow proper childcare standards, safety guidelines, and communication practices. I’ve worked with infants ranging from newborns to 18 months and I’m very confident with soothing techniques, sensory activities, and understanding developmental milestones.

“Brooke was lovely to coordinate with for a last minute sit. She arrived on time, and immediately jumped into playing with my son. I lingered (first time with an evening sitter), she dis not mind. I left, she handled bedtime, when my son awoke he was devastated to find me home instead of his “new friend Brooke”. In literal tears. I was not offended, only pleased that her short first time playdate had left such a lasting impression. Would recommend in a heartbeat! ”

Booked by 3 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hello!! My name is Kelis and I’m an active 19-year-old! I’m currently working as a summer camp counselor as well as an after-school counselor, where we do all the running, jumping, and playing all day. This has been my job for 4 years now, and it has trained me to maneuver through many tough situations. I love my job and enjoy seeing children have fun and make new memories. I’m currently in college studying sociology with hopes of becoming a social worker in the child care sector. I’m looking for sitter opportunities to further my experience and, of course, have fun! I love to travel and try new foods. My favorite museums would have to be the Museum of Ice Cream and the American Museum of Natural History. I’m currently saving to one day visit Japan, it’s the #1 thing on my bucket list! Outside of childcare, I’m also a signed model! While modeling has been an exciting experience and creative outlet for me, working with children has always been my true passion and the career path I’m most dedicated to pursuing. I’m excited to continue building meaningful connections with families while gaining even more experience doing what I love most!

“Kelis was professional, on time, communicated timely, and was easy to work with. She came prepared to entertain our kids and kept them safe. Our kids had a wonderful time with her!”

Hi! My name is Jessica. I am a recent college graduate with my Bachelor in Health Services Administration. I am a dedicated mom, and a proud pet parent offering child care, pet care, and simple household services. I recently completed my internship at an after school program where I worked with middle school students, helping supervise activities, support events, and assist with daily tasks. I also have previous babysitting experience and understand the importance of creating a safe, patient, and nurturing environment for children. As a pet owner, I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also provide simple household help such as light cleaning and organizing. I am reliable, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and trustworthy care for every family I work with🫶🏼!

"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."
