Hi! I’m Ellie, originally from Memphis, TN but I just moved to NYC a few months ago. I’ve been nannying and babysitting for years, and I also worked as an overnight camp counselor for three summers, so I’m very comfortable with kids of all ages. I’m super responsible but also love having fun, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or just keeping kids entertained. I’m also a big pet lover and happy to help with things around the house like cleaning up, errands, or walking the dog.
“Highly Recommend Ellie (Isabelle) She was punctual, communicative, friendly and my daughter loved her! Will work with her again”
Cinthia $25 per hour for 1 child
I'm an enthusiastic childcare provider with two years of experience caring for children of various ages. I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development, and I find great joy in positively impacting their lives. I have a friendly and approachable personality, and I'm very comfortable communicating with parents about their child's day or any issues that arise. I do this via regular updates and verbal communication at pickup. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, such as educational games that promote learning, board games and puzzles, and outdoor sports and physical games. I have some college education, currently working on my bachelors degree and am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm also bilingual and speak both English and Spanish. I hope to meet you and your child soon, and I look forward to providing them with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment.

Sarah $32 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Sarah, and I'm originally from just outside of Boston. I graduated from Wake Forest University in 2023 and 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 babysitting position on Thursdays and Fridays, with flexibility for additional hours on other days as long as they don't conflict with 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."
