Hi I'm Einstein, some prefer Frankie but all nicknames are welcome! I have been sitting for 8+ consecutive years CPR + First Aid Certified. I am reliable, responsible, and joy with your little ones. Whatever your needs, I'm here to help! As a volunteer youth counselor and lifelong caregiver, supervisors and parents have always recognized my great communication and innate ability to form a bond with any child. I am from a family of healthcare professionals and growing up I took on the role of caring for my newborn little brother. I've spent years honing my skills as l helped raise my little brother alongside my parents then responsible for babysitting other young relatives as well as the kids of neighboring families and friends known to prioritize their safety, health, and happiness!
“Einstein did a great job and really went above and beyond deep cleaning out apartment! Plus she’s just a joy to be around and I felt so comfortable having her in our home.”
Hi! My name is Gicely Sarai , but I go by Sara. I’m a professional nanny with over 15 years of experience working with private families in New York City, and I was also a kindergarten teacher in my home country. I’m CPR certified and experienced with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including caring for multiple children at once. I truly enjoy engaging with kids through reading, singing, dancing, age-appropriate arts and crafts, puzzles, outdoor play, and outings to parks, museums, and zoos. Reading is one of my favorite activities with children , Little Blue Truck is my favorite book ! I speak English and Spanish, I’m responsible, dependable, and caring, and I have excellent and impeccable references from families I’ve worked with. I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your family and childcare needs. Feel free to message me through UrbanSitter. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
“I’m very happy with Gicely. She’s been watching our baby on a regular basis and has been punctual, polite, reliable, and flexible. Our baby warmed up to her right away and she is so sweet and patient.”
Hi! My name is Honor, my parents are Scottish but I was born in England and grew up moving between England and the US. I've been babysitting since I was 11 and have taken care of kids as young as 6 months old and up to 14 year olds. I love to do arts and crafts, go to the park, read, or just hang out. Whatever suits the kids I'm caring for and their parents! A little bit about me: I graduated from NYU in 2020 with a degree in Screenwriting and the Business of Media and am finished grad school last year where I studied Popular Fiction and the Business of Publishing remotely through Emerson College. I’ve been working in morning TV the last couple of years and recently quit to focus on writing. I love animals, running, thrifting, sewing, needlepoint, pilates, watercolor painting, reading, writing, history, and travel.
“Honor has been wonderful! She is reliable and communicative, and she has been very proactive when a scheduling conflict has arisen. She is very attentive and our son looks forward to seeing her every week. They have an amazing connection. I would definitely recommend her!”
Hello :) I'm Em! I'm a Brooklyn-based musician born and raised in New Jersey. I'm an enthusiastic and experienced babysitter. I've been watching infants through 8 year olds since I was a teenager. I also have experience watching special needs children. I like to read, play games, do crafts, and when it's not too cold be outside! I have a license and am experienced in driving city streets if needed!
Hi families, parents, and caregivers, I am offering occasional and part-time babysitting, pet sitting, and/or household services. I’m a mental health counselor with a focus on supporting children and adolescents (ages 5+). I hold a certification in delivering evidence-based mental health practices for children in NYS and often use play activities in my work. Before entering the counseling field, I worked in after-school programs, where I created and delivered social-emotional learning lesson plans for Pre-K3 classrooms. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and building meaningful rapport with youth in both formal and informal settings. When spending time with kids, I bring a warm, curious, and playful spirit to help build connection while maintaining safety and boundaries. I strive to be proactive, attentive, communicative, and organized so I can best support you, your loved ones, and your home. I look forward to connecting!

"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."
