Hello! My name is Lina and I look forward to working with you! I have 3 years of babysitting experience, and I live in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. I’m accessible to pretty much all subway lines for travel. I’ve been around children for most of my life since my mother was a babysitter/nanny for 20+ years. I’m also a mother to an adorable 2 year old. I consider myself a kind, reliable, responsible, and attentive individual. I’m currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, as I have a passion for working with children. I’m bilingual, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I'm also CPR, First Aid & AED certified. I’m available for occasional evening/date night opportunities. Thank you!
“My husband and I had the pleasure of hiring Lina to babysit our four-year-old for a few hours on a Saturday evening so we could go see a movie together. We were incredibly impressed with her professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm. From the moment she arrived, she connected with our son, and we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Her background in Early Childhood Education and her experience as a mother are clearly a huge asset, as she seemed to know exactly how to engage him in a fun way. In addition to being a fantastic playmate, Lina was incredibly responsible and attentive. We truly felt that she was present and focused on his needs the entire evening.”
I grew up in a large Haitian family so I've been babysitting for as long as I can remember. When my studies brought me to Hamilton College, I continued to babysit for professors and administrators alike. There I pursued an interdisciplinary major in Genetics & Social Justice with a focus on reproductive health. As part of my major, I got the opportunity to study maternal and child health in the U.S., Vietnam, South Africa, and Argentina. Living and learning in such different environments exposed me to children of all ages and backgrounds and taught me that in the absence of a shared spoken language, games are a universal language that can create a genuine connection with children all over the world. For the past 8 years, I've worked as a private tutor with elementary school-aged children and provided academic support in a variety of subjects. In addition to this, I provide semi-regular and occasional childcare services. If you'd like to book me, send me a message and I'll respond as soon as possible. Policies 1. I require a minimum of 48 hours notice if you’d like to cancel or reschedule a booking. Otherwise, I expect 50% of the payment for the booking. 2. I request a car service home for bookings ending after 8 pm. 3. I am willing to care for sick children as long as they’re not contagious, but please notify me in advance so I can plan accordingly. 4. I expect payment for the full booking even if you return home early. 5. My booking minimum is 3 hours. 6. My pricing for babysitting and private tutoring are distinct. Feel free to inquire, however, if you're interested in my pricing for tutoring services. Best wishes, Joany
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!”

"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."
