Hi! My name is Sarah, I’m an LA-raised NYC dweller and lover of kids. As the oldest of 7 close cousins, I’ve been babysitting pretty much since I could hold a bottle. After moving to New York for school, I majored in Creative Writing and minored in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I have babysat for a few families in the city (some for several years) for kids ranging in age from 18 months to 12 years. I’m seasoned in putting restless toddlers to bed, whipping up fun arts and crafts and making excellent after school snacks!
I am a dedicated, intentional, fun and gentle personality with a deep love for children and a passion in serving and caring for others. In my blended family of four siblings , I am the eldest of three so my caregiving familiarity spans almost my entire life. Professionally, I have 4 years experience caring for little to medium humans from ages 1-16 in various roles like an after school teacher and summer camp counselor. From homework help to fun engaging activities to genuine joy in care, I'm there! Ready and eager to serve. I am also available for house and pet-sitting!
Hi there! My name is Elle i am 18 and come from a beautiful family of 8 with 5 siblings. I have worked with all age and been a babysitter for 3 years and am CPR and First Aid trained. I just moved to NY for college and am studying fashion design. So excited to meet some great families and continue babysitting.
Heyy! My name is Aileen. I’m an experienced educator with 18 years of working with children, including 13 years as a paraprofessional with the Department of Education supporting students in special education. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and have experience working with children of different learning styles, personalities, and needs. In addition to my school-day experience, I worked for 15 years in an afterschool program as a group leader during the school year and as a summer camp coordinator. In these roles, I planned activities, supported homework time, supervised groups of children, and helped create a safe and positive environment where kids could learn, grow, and have fun. I make it a priority that children feel heard, understood, and cared for while maintaining clear routines and safety at all times. I’m happy to answer any questions and would love the opportunity to support your family.
Hello! My name is Daniela and I am a 22-year-old ballerina and model in New York City. I absolutely adore spending time with children and have a history of working with kids as an assistant ballet teacher for children aged 4-10. My responsibilities include transport, childcare, and light household tasks as needed. Aside from my career as a freelance ballerina and model, I am studying Communications online through Arizona State University. I have a great passion for literature and film, and also love to practice yoga and pilates in my free time. My mother is from Brazil, so I am bilingual speaking both English and Portuguese. I look forward to meeting you!

"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."
