Hi there! I'm a senior in the Childhood Education program at Hunter College. I'm compassionate, patient, curious, and playful. I have extensive experience caring for children ages 2 to 11. Additionally, I have cared for newborns, infants, and children with special needs. I'm passionate about providing a safe and nurturing environment that fosters positive development for children. I also love learning about children's interests and engaging in play with them. Looking forward to connecting with you and your family!
“Julia did an incredible job. She is attentive and communicative. She demonstrated her experience caring for one of my cats who is sick. I recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter, especially longterm. ”
I'm a 37 year old mostly WFH advertising writer who loves dogs, cats, kids and has plenty of time to hang out with yours! I've pet sat since I was a kid and have always enjoyed helping out owners while getting quality time with a variety of fun pets. I live in Cobble Hill and am very close to several parks and paths where I love to walk. I’ve marked that I'm fine with pets being on the furniture (because who doesn’t love snuggles!) but we’ll enforce any rules you have for consistency.
“Sarah is an absolutely incredible dogsitter! She has watched my shiba inu, Goji, for several years and he is truly obsessed with her. Sarah is kind, responsible, reliable, and highly competent at dog care. We feel lucky to have found Sarah as a sitter and always trust that Goji is in good hands with her.”
I am one of six and have been babysitting since I could watch my little siblings and cousins. I love kids and am now an aunt to a two-year-old. I spent the past year and a half as a nanny for a one-year-old. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan and am currently based in Clinton Hill. As a nanny, I also help keep the house tidy and help out with errands. I love to create fun games and engaging activities. I have received training in CPR and first aid.
Hi! I’m a friendly, responsible, and active caregiver with several years of experience working with kids. I earned my undergraduate degree from Columbia University, where I majored in Psychology, and I’ll be attending NYU for my Master’s in Social Work, focusing on child development and counseling. I’m excited to bring what I’ve learned in both my academic and coaching experiences into working with families. I’ve spent much of my life involved in competitive rowing and cycling, and I’ve also coached high school and middle school rowing. Coaching was one of my favorite experiences because I really enjoyed getting to know each athlete individually and helping them feel comfortable, confident, and supported. It taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and willing to adapt to different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with kids of different ages and personalities and enjoy keeping them engaged, whether that means playing outside, going for a walk, doing homework, playing games, or just hanging out. I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy. I’m dependable and easygoing, but I also understand the importance of following a family’s routines and expectations. I know it can be a little stressful to leave your kids with someone new, so I try to make that process as easy as possible for both parents and kids. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!
Hi! I’m Maddie, a 22 year old recent college graduate who just started working full time as a paralegal in Manhattan. I’m looking for some extra work with flexible scheduling and really miss my many previous jobs working with children, so I figured this would be the perfect fit!

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
