Booked by 3 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hi there! I'm Elizabeth. Im 22 years old and live in South Slope :). I recently graduated from John Jay College Of Criminal Justice. I have been caring for children for 8 years as a babysitter and as the oldest of 2 siblings. I have a lot of experience working with toddlers and grade school children. I’ve spent half my life watching over my younger twin sisters who are deaf. They’ve taught me ASL along the way, so that’s a plus! I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. When I'm not in school or babysitting, I enjoy biking and watching shows. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and would be happy to provide references if requested.

“I highly recommend Elizabeth as a babysitter. With her warm demeanor and responsible attitude, she creates a nurturing environment for children of all ages. Parents can trust her to prioritize safety while engaging kids in fun and educational activities. She is reliable, punctual, and has a natural affinity for connecting with children. Rest assured, Elizabeth will provide excellent care for your little ones, giving you peace of mind while you're away.”

dalena $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m excited to connect with a loving family looking for a reliable and caring babysitter. I am a preschool teacher working in the Park Slope area, and I’m seeking work for the summer and possibly long term. I have five years of hands-on experience working with children ages 2–5, both in daycare classrooms and through babysitting for several of my students. My background in early childhood education has given me strong skills in supporting children’s growth, guiding positive behavior, and creating a warm, structured environment. I’m a certified teacher in NYS and I have my first aid and cpr training completed. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education with a concentration in Art, which I love incorporating into my time with children, whether that’s through creative activities, sensory play, or simple arts and crafts. I truly enjoy spending time with children, getting to know their personalities, and helping them feel safe, happy, and engaged. Families can count on me to be patient, dependable, and playful, while also maintaining routines and ensuring your child’s well-being. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a fun, nurturing experience for your little ones!

I am a dedicated Nursing student with a strong foundation in healthcare and hands on caregiving experience. As a Patient Care Technician for 3 years, I developed essential skills in patient monitoring, personal care and communicating with families during vulnerable moments. My compassionate nature was also shaped by caring for a younger family member, which deepened my patience, attentiveness and genuine love for helping others. I will bring professionalism, reliability and a warm, nurturing approach to every family I work with. My medical training means I stay calm under pressure, notice the small details that matters and always prioritize the safety and comfort of those in my care. Whether it’s a child, seniors or anyone in my care. I am fully committed to providing the highest quality of care with kindness and integrity.

Jalani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jalani and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household support. I started working with kids in high school while helping at a daycare, and since then I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my goddaughter and friends’ children of different ages. I focus on making sure little ones feel safe, comfortable, fed, and genuinely looked after. I’m patient, attentive, and I love creating a smooth, happy environment for the kids I’m with. I also have experience with pet sitting, especially dogs and cats, and have stayed with pets for several days at a time. I’m reliable with routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and cared for while their owners are away. For house sitting, I’m organized, responsible, and great at keeping a home tidy and running smoothly. I’m someone families feel comfortable trusting with their space and their loved ones. I bring a warm, positive presence and communicate clearly so you always know everything is taken care of. Looking forward to working with you and your family! x

"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."
