Hello! My name is Bri and I recently moved to NYC from San Francisco. I currently live in the NoHo neighborhood and work remotely full time as a Community Manager. I have been an active nanny all throughout my college years and beyond and really do miss nannying both part time and full time. I do like to babysit occasionally and it gives me the opportunity to explore different parts of this amazing city. During college, I was nannying for a couple different families that were consistent over a long period of time. A few standout experiences were working for a family for 5 months where I worked 37 hours a week in three days watching an adorable 2-year-old boy. My duties included everything from taking him to swim class, feeding him breakfast, lunch and dinner and scheduling fun events to take him to and explore the city! Throughout my college years, I babysat part time between classes for an amazing family of 5 for four years and still to this day, I babysit for them occasionally. My job entailed me to do homework, cook, clean, bedtime routine, drive to after school activities, attend appointments, schedule events, make lunches and over-see playdates for the three kids age ranging from 5 to 11 years old. I have two younger siblings so I have basically been babysitting and interacting with kids my entire life. I have always been known as the babysitter on the block and have loved watching kids. Now the tables have turned and some of my friends are starting to have kids and it’s definitely a fun stage in life. If you feel like I am a perfect fit, please reach out to me through Urbansitter. Thanks so much and I hope to hear from you soon!

Bri was great! She immediately started interacting with our son and by the time we left he had warmed up to her and was happily eating dinner with her. He had a cough so she gave him cough medicine like we asked and was great when he woke up after going to bed. We’ll definitely hire her again.

Hi, I'm May, a 22 year old college student living on the upper west side of Manhattan. I have been babysitting since I was 12 and absolutely adore kids. I am experienced with children from newborns to elementary schoolers. I am super crafty and creative and can buckle down and help kids with serious work and school work. I love helping to unlock kids' imaginations and intellectual sides as well. Your kids will never be bored with me and I can always find something to do that is productive. I love cooking and baking and have been doing both since I can remember so I have quite a few creative snack ideas up my sleeve. Again, I love spending time with kids and I absolutely love babies. I am CPR certified and Red Cross trained. Safety is my priority so I can assure that I am Covid-19 vaccinated. Feel free to reach out to me about anything! I can't wait to take care of your child!

May babysat our twins. Our girls loved the time together. May was great.

Hi! I’m Kristin! I’m in my twenties and originally from CT, but I’ve been living in NYC since graduating from college. I work in marketing, but I’ve always loved working with children and I’d love to support your family! I’m available most weeknights and weekends. I have over 10 years of childcare experience caring for children of all ages and backgrounds. I’m energetic, engaging, and love creating fun, age-appropriate enrichment activities, while also being attentive to specific routines and preferences. For infants and toddlers, I am experienced in bottle and meal preparation/feeding, diaper changes, potty training, bath and bedtime routines, and following set schedules. For older children, I have a background in tutoring students from elementary school through college, so I’m happy to help with academic work. I’m also fluent in Spanish and ASL. I have experience caring for children with disabilities and specialized needs. I’m happy to work closely with your family to ensure consistency with therapies, behavioral strategies, sensory needs, medication schedules, and other care plans. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I’m committed to providing a safe, reliable, and positive environment for your children. I’m also comfortable with travel, public transportation, overnights and caring for multiple children, including twins and triplets. I also have a valid driver’s license and clean driving record if transportation is needed. While the safety of your family is my top priority, I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, pet care, errands, and other family needs. I will ensure your home is clean and I will respect any house rules you have in place. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family! I’m happy to provide references, schedule an introductory call, or arrange a trial visit to ensure we are a great fit!
