Hi, I’m Gideon! I am a student studying art and psychology living on the Upper West Side, hoping to go to rabbinical school in the future. I love music, singing, art, cooking, and gardening! I have experience caring for children ages 10–12 as well as teaching farming and Hebrew to ages 5–16. I am proficient in Hebrew and Arabic and have some knowledge of Spanish as well. I want to make sure your little ones are well looked after, having fun, and always learning!
Hi parents! I have experience teaching, tutoring, and nannying ages 1-14. I have a degree in Psychology focused on developmental and educational coursework from Northeastern University. I volunteered to teach in high school classrooms and tutor ages 9-14 throughout college and then taught in an after school program for ages 11-12. I worked as an assistant teacher at Reade Street Prep in Tribeca for ages 2-5 in English and Spanish classrooms. Most recently, I have worked for a family nannying for an 8 and 11 year old after school. I am a writer and artist and can bring fun, creative projects to your child's life. I am happy to help with homework for all ages and subjects including Spanish. I have babysat for all ages and grew up taking care of nieces and nephews. I am warm, energetic, and absolutely love working with children. I am a certified yoga teacher and outdoor enthusiast. I am Scuba rescue certified, giving me strong knowledge of emergency response and staying calm under pressure. It's important to me to understand a family's values and routine to ensure consistency in care for your little ones. I am CPR/AED certified and have a valid New York State background check.

Hi there! My name is Katrina. I’ve been the go-to babysitter for my family and friends for many years, caring for children from 5 months to 9 years old since I was a teen. Working with kids has always come naturally to me, and I bring patience, structure, and a genuine love for what I do. I’m currently a Paraprofessional with the NYC Board of Education, in the Williamsburg neighborhood, where I work one-on-one with children in special education, including students with ADHD, autism, developmental delays, and speech disorders. I’ve supported preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade and Pre-K learners in a public school in Williamsburg. This gives me experience in behavior support, sensory needs, communication strategies, and helping children feel safe and understood. With me, your child will enjoy fun, engaging, and purposeful activities such as: • singing songs and movement games • days of the week & months routines • coloring, crafts, and hands-on activities • counting games and early learning skills • music, dancing, and story time • simple baking or kitchen fun (I’m a baking & pastry graduate!) My approach blends fun with structure, keeping children entertained while following their routines and respecting their individual needs. ✨ Availability: pickup, Summer days, occasional weekends, and DOE days off ✨ I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a warm, safe, and joyful experience for your child.
“Katrina has been an amazing sitter to our two kids (and dog!) for many years. She's so sweet, very reliable, engaging and fun with the kids. She's thoughtful and comes up with fun activities, the kids love her and we consider her family. She is bright, warm and tidy.”
Hi there - My name is Jocelyn and I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Neurobiology & Behavior and currently work in Pharma Advertising. I was a caretaker for 2 elderly folks thru college and have really been caring for newborns, toddlers, and young kiddos since I was 15, and now looking forward to caring for your loved one(s)! I love staying active, so there’s no doubt I’ll have energy to keep up with energies of all ranges. I’ve cared for kids only a few months old to 11years old (I’m a great tutor/homework helper btw!) and have also cared for elderly folks, managing a range of medical conditions, including Parkinson’s, MS, and Dementia. I’m also rather flexible, if you need help driving the kids around, making meals, or any other general help, consider me your gal! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to lmk. Looking forward to caring for your loved ones!

"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."
