Find a babysitter in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi neighbors! My name is Gemma, and I’m an 18-year-old senior at The Brearley School. I have experience babysitting for local families with children ages 5+, and I’m certified in CPR for infants, children, adults. I am also certified in First Aid. I have worked as a camp counselor and have babysat children ages 4-11 before. I also foster kittens, and have lots of experience with cats. I have owned dogs before as well. I’m warm, reliable, and love keeping kids engaged, whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or reading together. Please feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect with more families in the neighborhood!

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!

Hi! I have been babysitting for about 9 years now and have experience with kids of many ages. I am currently a college student and have recently worked as a swim instructor, so I’m very comfortable caring for children in a way that is safe, fun, and engaging. I can help with homework, prepare meals, and keep kids entertained with games and activities. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable and I always try my absolute best to create a positive environment for both kids and parents.

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a certified educator with a strong background in Montessori education, early childhood and elementary education, special education, general education, and family support. I hold dual certification in Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education, with training and experience supporting children across both general and special education settings. My background includes working in Montessori school environments, supporting student programming, partnering closely with families, and serving as a trusted point of communication between parents, children, teachers, and school leadership. What makes me stand out is the combination of warmth, structure, and professionalism I bring into a home. I understand child development, routines, emotional regulation, independence-building, and the importance of meeting each child where they are. I’m calm, patient, highly organized, and intentional about creating an environment where children feel safe, respected, and engaged. I also love language learning and cultural curiosity. I have studied Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and music, and I enjoy incorporating songs, conversation, reading, creative play, and age-appropriate learning into my time with children when families are interested. Professionally, I’ve worked closely with busy families, school communities, and executive leadership, so I understand the importance of trust, discretion, reliability, and clear communication. I’m especially comfortable with school-aged children and can support homework, reading, routines, creative activities, after-school transitions, bedtime, snacks/meals, and child-related tidying. I’m available for flexible evening and weekend babysitting, including date nights, occasional care, homework support, and family coverage. My goal is to provide care that feels warm, thoughtful, and dependable — so parents can feel fully at ease and children can feel genuinely cared for.

Hi! I’m Nathaly, a warm and caring nanny with over 5 years of experience creating safe, fun, and loving environments for children.

In addition to my childcare experience, I’m skilled in household tasks like meal prep, light cleaning, and organizing, so you can relax knowing everything is taken care of. I’m CPR/AED certified, so you can always feel confident that your little ones are in safe hands. Plus, I absolutely adore pets and would love to care for your furry friends too!
