Hi, my name is Lulu and I am currently a senior at Hunter College majoring in psychology with plans to go to law school next fall. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children ranging from newborns to school-aged. In addition to working independently for families, I also worked for an agency that placed me with families, which gave me valuable professional training and exposure to a variety of childcare needs. I am CPR certified and always prioritize safety while creating a warm and fun environment for children.

Hi! My name is Irine and I'm a graduate student at Pratt Institute. I'm offering child care and tutoring. I've done childcare work, as well as worked with NYC elementary and middle school students, and in creative summer camp settings. My responsibilities have included helping with homework, making snacks, arts and crafts, creating activities and more.
Hi! My name is Sofia, and I recently graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science and Biology. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Human Nutrition at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, with plans to attend medical school in the next two years. I have a strong passion for women’s health and preventative medicine, and I truly enjoy caring for and supporting others. Beyond academics, I’ve grown up in a large family surrounded by children, which made babysitting second nature to me. I have years of babysitting experience throughout high school and college, and nothing brings me more joy than spending time with kids and supporting them through their most important developmental years. I am CPR certified, trained in emergency healthcare, and fluent in Spanish as a dual citizen of Spain. In my free time, I love dancing, taking long walks, spending time outdoors, traveling, and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops. I look forward to bringing energy, responsibility, and warmth to the families I work with!
Hello, my name is Jacqueline (but I usually go by my nickname Tula), I’m 23 and a recent graduate of Wellesley College. I have over 8 years of babysitting experience in NYC, as well as some in the Boston area, watching children from three months to thirteen years old. I have three younger siblings and have spent much of my time at home watching them. I’m very familiar with babies and younger kids, especially babysitting multiple children at a time. I’ve taken an online Red Cross babysitting and first aid certification course as well as first aid programs through Boy Scouts that I completed to earn Eagle Scout. Thank you for your consideration!
“Jacqueline was wonderful with our toddler son. She played and read to him and entertained him for several hours. She is extremely patient and sweet with kids! ”

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
