I love working with kids of all ages but specialize in school ages 5-14. I currently work in a middle school as a social worker and have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I am fun loving, caring, and a good match for kids of all ages and needs to support in keeping their day running as smooth as possible. I love theater, art, museums, and reading.
Hi! I’m Betsy. I’m a preschool teacher on the UWS and I have 2 children of my own (ages 10 and 12). My background is in theater and I love being silly, storytelling, and arts and crafts! I also love being outdoors and finding fun new adventures! I love animals and I have a Pomeranian named Rusty, who is diabetic. I’m comfortable caring for children and animals who may need special care.
Hi, I’m Alexandra, 26 years old. I’m a responsible, friendly, and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience looking after kids of all ages, from babies to teens. I love getting creative with crafts and games, and I’m always happy to help out with cooking and light household tasks. Most of my experience comes from babysitting nieces and nephews of different ages, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. While I don’t hold a formal CPR/first-aid certification, I completed first-aid training in school and I’m always alert and prepared when caring for children. I’m available for morning shifts and on Saturdays, or at night after 8 PM. One recent family shared this about our time together: “Completely satisfied — she kept our son entertained for 7 hours straight with lots of variety. Impressively good.” (5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) I’d love the chance to meet your family and help care for your little ones!
Hi! My name is Sarah, and I'm originally from just outside of Boston. I am starting my Master's in School Counseling at Columbia University this fall to become a licensed elementary school counselor. I've been living in the Morningside Heights area for the past year and a half. I'm looking for a position with flexibility around my class schedule. I've been babysitting, working with, and volunteering with children since I was a teenager. I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy getting to know each child's personality and interests. I'd love to find a family I can work with consistently throughout the school year!

"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
