Hello! My name is Sophie and I’m currently living in Brooklyn. I am looking to become a babysitter for some lovely families in NYC. I have over 10 years of combined child work experience, as well as petsitting of all kinds of animals. I was a regular babysitter during middle & high school, with kids ranging from a few months old to 12 years old. My college & post grad experience with children includes substitute teaching, summer camp counseling, and more. I am comfortable with children of all ages and get along with them excellently. I love to take the time to truly get to know the children and take interest in their passions. Additionally, I am comfortable picking children up from/dropping off at events or school, running errands, taking them exploring, cooking dinner, cleaning, and more. I also am able to petsit for all kinds of animals in your household. I would love to watch your children while you work late, go out for date night, or just take a break! I am new to this site, but my child work experience goes back years and I am a very skilled caretaker. Take a chance on me!
I started babysitting at 14 and have worked in childcare since then. I worked at a summer camp for five years, and have also have been a full time swim instructor for children ages 2-12. I have done private lessons and continued babysitting throughout. I love working with kids and enjoy watching them learn with a smile on their face!
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!
Hi! I'm a nurse who's currently looking for intermittent baby-sitting for date nights, errands, emergencies, etc. I've been a NICU nurse for 4 years and prior to that was a full time nanny for 5 years. I also babysat throughout most of middle school, high school, and parts of college. Most of my recent experience is from newborn to three years of age, but I do have experience with older children as well. I love infants and toddlers because they have such wonder and awe for the world around them and it's a special experience to watch and engage with their development and growth. I'm gentle, engaging, empathetic, and sympathetic in my care and avoid screen time when with the children. I love taking children to parks, museums, play dates, etc., but also just as happy to play games and read stories at home. I won't be able to have regularly scheduled gigs as my work schedule changes week by week, but would love to find a family or families to develop a longer term baby-sitting relationship with, as I feel continuity is better for both the children and the carers. I am also BLS and NRP certified. Thanks!
Hi, I'm Sydney! I moved to NYC to be an actor and found myself working in several settings with children, including performing in the Bluey X CAMP experience downtown and acting as costume designer/childcare assistant for 3 shows with the Children's Acting Academy. I have several years of experience providing childcare for ages 0-13, and would love to get to know you and your little ones. Because of my background in theatre, I have all kinds of ideas on ways to have fun! I'm also happy to help around the house in any way you may need.
“Sydney was punctual, easy to communicate with and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again ”

"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."
