Hello! My name is Clara, and I am a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a passion for helping others. I am a proud mother of four wonderful children, who are now between the ages of 19 and 42, and a loving grandmother. My experience raising a large family has taught me compassion, responsibility, organization, and the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to my personal caregiving experience, I have worked as a teacher’s aide supporting children with special needs, where I developed strong communication, problem-solving, and caregiving skills. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to connect with more families. I enjoy helping with daily routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, and providing attentive, respectful care. Families describe me as trustworthy, calm, reliable, and compassionate. My goal is to make your loved one feel comfortable, valued, and cared for while giving your family peace of mind.
Hello! My name is Mica! I LOVE working with kids and families. I have a TON of experience and consider myself a natural caretaker with a very loving, engaged and nurturing approach. In my over 20 years of experience working as a childcare provider, I have worked for over 60 families and watched literally hundreds of children. I've worked with some families for over 10 years, watching as their family grew from one 2 year old to having four kids! From newborn to middle school, but with the majority of my experience being with newborns and infants to young elementary. My mother was a nursery school teacher and my siblings and I worked summers at their nursery school camp program, which is where I had a lot of parents asking me to babysit from there. I worked occasionally as a substitute assistant teacher at that same nursery school as well. I have a B.A. in Psychology and took classes on developmental psychology, studying attachment theory and so on. A little more about my background: I am the oldest child in my family and even amongst extended family and family friends children, so since I was a child myself I've been put in charge of watching the younger kids! But I started babysitting officially at 14. I also have young nieces and nephew who I've watched extensively as well :) I am half Japanese and grew up living in Japan at least every other summer. I speak a little Japanese and know a little Spanish as well and consider myself very culturally sensitive. I've also taken cross-cultural psychology and just have a real love of other cultures, I've worked for multiple families with immigrant parents and bilingual children :) Some personal interests are health and wellness/fitness/dance, healthy plant based cooking, volunteering, music! I sing and play a little guitar and love when the kids get excited about that as well! I drive and have my own car, I've taken children to and from every activity including doctors appointments. I've done overnights, full weekends and have traveled internationally with families. I can cook/prepare meals, help with homework where needed and do some light housekeeping as well if desired. I have experience with elderly relatives in the home with dementia, etc, and experience with pet and plant sitting. I am open and flexible! :) Feel free to ask me about anything else I may have missed! Love working with and helping families and look forward to working with yours! :) Be well and looking forward to chatting! :) -Mica
“Mica is the ultimate baby whisperer. She worked for us when my daughter was a newborn, helping us as first time parents immensely. Mica helped with diaper changes, feeding (which was an exceptional challenge for us in the early days), and sleep (which was another big challenge!). We continue to use Mica for occasional babysitting for the last 2.5 years and recommend her to other families in our neighborhood. My daughter does not take to new people easily but instantly fell in love with Mica and goes to her with ease when I need to step out. Mica is the best!”
Hi! My name is Giada, and I’m currently a sophomore at CUNY Hunter College studying Social Work. I’m planning to apply to the BSW program, and I’m especially interested in working in mental health and helping others. I’ve always loved babysitting, mostly because I had a babysitter growing up who I really loved and looked forward to spending time with. I’ve been working with children since I was around 14 and have experience caring for toddlers and older children. I’ve also volunteered and worked at a summer camp for young children, which gave me even more experience spending time with and caring for kids. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and caring. I love being outside with kids when the weather is nice and getting involved in whatever activities they enjoy. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, cooking, and keeping children entertained. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy listening to music, reading, and spending time with my friends.
Hi, I’m Alexandra, 26 years old. I’m a responsible, friendly, and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience looking after kids of all ages, from babies to teens. I love getting creative with crafts and games, and I’m always happy to help out with cooking and light household tasks. Most of my experience comes from babysitting nieces and nephews of different ages, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. While I don’t hold a formal CPR/first-aid certification, I completed first-aid training in school and I’m always alert and prepared when caring for children. I’m available for morning shifts and on Saturdays, or at night after 8 PM. One recent family shared this about our time together: “Completely satisfied — she kept our son entertained for 7 hours straight with lots of variety. Impressively good.” (5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) I’d love the chance to meet your family and help care for your little ones!
Hi, I am Rose. I am HHA, CPR and AED in USA. I speak Spanish and studying english. I have extensive experience caring children. I worked as a personal assistant for the PPL agency, providing care for adults. I love working in the care of children, adults, and pets. I can cook and clean; I am creative and enjoy planning activities and playing. I can also assist with homework and transport children to various activities. I am friendly, caring, responsible, punctual, and proactive.

"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."
