Hello, my name is Iva; I am a 25-year-old NYU student (History/Econ Major), born in Zagreb, Croatia, and my favorite color is blue. I have been babysitting for the past three years, not including taking care of my sister, who is 10 years my junior. I have extensive experience with boys and girls ages 4 and up, and am competent with after school pickups and transport to activities, homework help, cooking, light housekeeping, and house sitting. Areas of homework help I am most comfortable with are History and English. I am currently looking for part-time, after-school work; I am flexible with travel, hourly rates, and date-night babysitting.

Very friendly, kids liked her, will definitely have her back!

Hi! My name is Andrea and I would be happy to help you care for your children. I am 27 years old and a current university student at Baruch College studying business with a flexible schedule. My experience with children begins from 2[removed] working with a 14 month old, and two brothers ages 6 and 9 throughout the years. I have also worked as a Teacher's Assistant for after school religion classes, and tutored children from low-income groups. Working with your child or children would be a great opportunity for me. I would be able to provide my recent reference to further support my qualifications. Hope to hear from you!

Andrea helped watch my daughters (11 and 12), and they loved her. She’s calm, sweet, and communicative with them. They enjoy their time with her.

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.

I started working with children from a very young age. I have experience as a nanny and camp counselor. I also am an animal lover and love long walks with furry friends. Being the oldest sibling, it is in my nature to be a caregiver and I am very patient and lots of fun. A fun fact about me is I love books and music!
