Hi I’m Valery 😊 I am passionate about health, exercise, and aspire to become a doctor! I am the eldest of 5 children, and have been babysitting for over 10 years. My experience ranges from newborns to high school students. I have administered medication, made meals, cleaned homes professionally, and driven children throughout NYC and NJ. I have tutoring experience as well. I am fluent in English and Spanish and am open to teach too! I am responsible, energetic, and punctual. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I look forward to meeting you and your family! *upon booking, you agree to honor the full duration of the booking and compensate me accordingly, regardless of whether your return is earlier or later than initially planned.*
Hello! I'm 36, a flight attendant, and just recently moved here from California. I spent the past 4 years living in LA and worked as a nanny there, and before that I was living in Spain working as an English teacher and nanny. I have been nannying/babysitting since I was 12. I have a lot of experience with children from infants to teens, and I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve worked with children with all abilities. I'm really friendly, interactive and I love kids. I prefer engaging with the children as opposed to letting them sit and watch movies or play video games. I'm responsible, reliable and organized.
“Thanks Bethany. The kids had a great time and it was a pleasure to have you. It was a tremendous help and easy to communicate. Thanks again ”
Hi, I’m Ting! As a recent Fine Arts graduate and art instructor, I excel at keeping people of all ages engaged, creative, and comfortable. My experience ranges from teaching school-aged children and caring for younger cousins to providing warm companionship and daily support for seniors. I am fully bilingual in English and Mandarin, and I love incorporating language learning or art activities into my care. I am looking for a position where I can support your family with childcare, senior care, household tasks, meal prep, and pets. I am highly dependable, positive, and ready to help keep your household running smoothly!
“very great first experience hiring a babysitter for our child. she's warm, friendly, responsible, and our baby had a wonderful time with her.”
Hello, my name is Vanessa, I`m 31 years old. I’m able to speak both Spanish and English, I recently graduated from Communication and Corporate Relations. I have experience with babies, toddlers and kid’s ages from 0 to 12. In 2015 I signed for an exchange program called Au pair in California where I took care of several kids from different ages and backgrounds. I lived in their homes with their parents and had to do all kinds of chores including driving them to places, helping them with homework, preparing meals and many activities day by day. In 2017 I enrolled with Care.com and worked with different families. In Urban Sitter I’ve been since 2014. I count with plenty infant experiences, 3 full-time jobs in total, from new born ages. I have First Aid, CPR and swimming training certification. I’m reliable, easy going, punctual, proactive, organized and enjoy my job because I get a long very well with kids. I count with more than 8 years of experience and excellent reviews and references. I also have a great profile in care.com with more updated reviews. Hope to hear from you soon ! Vanessa
“Vanessa helped us go to a wedding recently. She watched two 2 yr olds and a 4 mo old. She fed them dinner and got them all to bed. My daughter, who is notoriously slow to warm (just ask her grandpa!) took to Vanessa immediately, holding her hand and playing with her. She woke up the next morning telling us she liked Vanessa. Vanessa was great with our girls, punctual and responsive when we were checking in. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for childcare!”
Hi, I’m a college student looking to help out a family who need a sitter. I would describe myself as athletic, as I like to stay active. I’m also creative and love doing art activities. To add on, I’m empathetic and also patient, especially when it comes to kids. I have a variety of experience from babysitting while in high-school, to working at the YMCA as a summer camp counselor these past three summers. I’ve worked with kids as young as 1 up to the age of 15.
“Ashley is wonderful! She is very friendly, engaging, and caring. My 20-month-old daughter felt very at ease with her and had a great time together. Thank you Ashely!”

"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."
