Hi families! I’m a 30-year-old, reliable, energetic, and experienced sitter transitioning from a corporate career back to grad school for clinical psychology. I have been caring semi-regularly for children since I was 12 years old. I grew up with four siblings—two of whom are 12 years younger than me—and I played an active role in helping raise them. That hands-on experience continued through college and my corporate working life here in NYC with dozens of families (new to UrbanSitter, previously used HelloSitter). It has also recently come full circle as I’ve supported my siblings with their own babies, helping with everything from the sensitive postpartum newborn stage to chasing active toddlers. After several years in the corporate tech world, I’ve left to pursue my master’s degree. This schedule change allows me to return to what I genuinely love: hanging out with kids. I bring the “adult” reliability of a former professional (punctual, communicative, safety-conscious) mixed with the warmth and energy of a seasoned aunt/uncle. I am comfortable with all ages, confident with bedtime routines, and happy to help with homework or light meal prep. Looking forward to meeting your family! Note: I built the majority of my career in journalism, and I love tutoring if any kids need help with their homework or college essays!

Hello! My name is Caitlyn. I am a graduate student pursuing a master’s in mental health counseling, residing in Manhattan, New York, with a passion for working with children. Over the years, I have accumulated extensive experience in child care, starting from the age of 13. It began when I started caring for my two younger brothers, one of whom has special needs. This experience has equipped me with the skills and understanding necessary to provide exceptional care for children with diverse needs, including ADHD/ADD, Autism, hearing impairment, depression, and anxiety. I believe in creating a nurturing environment tailored to each child's unique needs. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your child is always my top priority. I offer flexible availability during the week, as well as on weekends, to accommodate your schedule. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your child(ren) soon. If you're interested in booking my services or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me via email at [removed]* I can't wait to hear from you soon! ——————————————————————- *I may not be active on this app, but I will promptly respond if you contact me via email. Thank you!

Hi! My name is Ellie and I am a senior at Fordham University majoring in psychology and English. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and would love to take care of your kids :)) In the past, I've made simple meals for kids, picked them up from school, walked them to parks, playdates, and restaurants, and have spent all day hanging out with them! I'm also happy to help organize your home or run errands. I (sadly) have no pets at school, but I have a dog at home and LOVE cats, so I'd be more than happy to meet and care for your pets too!
