Hello!! I have 12 years of childcare experience with 4 of those years spent as a full-time nanny and 1 of them as a house/nanny-manager. I have experience with children ages 3 months-13 years. I prioritize safety and love to be a hands on caretaker. My favorite activities with children include reading, arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, teaching dance (I'm a dance teacher!), and encouraging creativity through fun, engaging activities. I also have experience with household management, including running errands, meal prep and cooking, laundry, light housekeeping, dog walking, and home organization. I also have experience with morning roles in getting kids ready for school/daycare in addition to transport before and after school/camps. I am recently Red Cross CPR certified. I currently work at Paul Taylor Dance Company in the education sector. I have a bachelors degree in marketing from the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business. In my free time, I love to take dance classes, create art, play with my cat, thrift, and spend time exploring the city!

Ellie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellie and I am a senior at Fordham University majoring in psychology and English. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and would love to take care of your kids :)) In the past, I've made simple meals for kids, picked them up from school, walked them to parks, playdates, and restaurants, and have spent all day hanging out with them! I'm also happy to help organize your home or run errands. I (sadly) have no pets at school, but I have a dog at home and LOVE cats, so I'd be more than happy to meet and care for your pets too!

Katherine $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kat and I’m a grad student at NYU. I am an enthusiastic and experienced baby sitter eager to meet your family. I love working with kids and believe with a conscious balance of exuberance and structure I can provide your household with a memorable and smooth experience. I’m a firm believer in “getting on a kid’s level” literally and figuratively and my utmost priority is always your child’s safety. At the end of the day I want to make sure your kid has a blast! I love baking, singing, dancing and most of all storytelling (I’m an actor when I’m not hanging out with kiddos) so there will be never a dull moment. I am CPR certified and have over ten years of experience with newborns, infants, toddlers and school age children. I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes and am happy to perform light housekeeping.

Hi! I’m Ellie, originally from Memphis, TN but I just moved to NYC a few months ago. I’ve been nannying and babysitting for years, and I also worked as an overnight camp counselor for three summers, so I’m very comfortable with kids of all ages. I’m super responsible but also love having fun, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or just keeping kids entertained. I’m also a big pet lover and happy to help with things around the house like cleaning up, errands, or walking the dog.

Highly Recommend Ellie (Isabelle) She was punctual, communicative, friendly and my daughter loved her! Will work with her again

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
