Hi! I’m a senior at NYU based in NYC, and I’m new to Urban Sitter. I’m here to help with babysitting, housesitting, tutoring, or even just keeping your kids active with sports like soccer, volleyball, or climbing. As the oldest sibling in my family and a trusted babysitter since high school, I bring plenty of experience, responsibility, and energy to every job. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and fun. Looking forward to helping out your family!
Hi! I am a masters student and work as a community health fellow at HSS. I am looking for child care, tutoring and household services jobs. I have 4 years of experience working and tutoring students in a school district. I also have a lot of experience working with children on the autism spectrum from my time as a teacher. I’ve been around kids of all ages and I love doing arts and craft and enjoy physical activity. I have also housesat and am comfortable around most animals. I am fully vaccinated and would be willing to wear a mask :)
Hi! I’m Gaby — a caring, patient, and reliable babysitter with many years of hands-on experience. As a mom of a wonderful 23-year-old, I truly understand kids and their needs at every stage. I’m great at creating a fun, safe environment while keeping routines and communication smooth for parents. I’d love to support your family and make your little ones feel comfortable and cared for! I speak two languages. English and Spanish.
Hi! I’m Melissa, a 27 year old longtime babysitter, newly back in the U.S. after three years in London. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years, with experience ranging from toddlers to early teens. I first became the go-to sitter in my neighborhood growing up in Philadelphia, and word quickly spread - my parents’ coworkers started calling on me too! Over the years, I’ve also taken on pet-sitting duties for both dogs and cats, sometimes for a few days and other times for several weeks at a time. I’m responsible, communicative, and deeply respectful of the routines and values that matter to each family. Whether it’s about technology rules, food habits, learning styles, or anything else, I believe it’s important to honor the tone and philosophy of the household I’m stepping into. Outside of babysitting, I’m a young professional who recently moved back from London to pursue a career pivot from a finance job into music (one of my lifelong passions). I am also currently getting ready to move into my first solo apartment (big milestone!), and I’m looking to make some extra income doing something I genuinely love: supporting families and spending time with kids. If you’re looking for someone warm, reliable, and adaptable with a global perspective (and a big appetite for fun!) I’d love to connect.
Hello! I’m an Art History major at the University of Virginia and currently a visiting student at NYU. I have several years of experience babysitting for family, friends, and younger cousins, as well as volunteering as a tutor for kids from pre-K through middle school. I love working with children and always aim to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them. I’m also a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Last summer, I worked as a gallery assistant in South Carolina, where I managed the space independently—cleaning, organizing, and helping visitors. That role really taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to stay calm under pressure—qualities I bring to babysitting as well! I am correctly in New York from May 2025 - August 2025 I’d love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones!

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"

"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
