Hi! My name is Willow and I am a recent grad from NYU. I have some babysitting experience for other families in high school, but most of my experience is with my younger brother from the ages of 0-4. Responsibilities include running errands, outdoor time, crafting, cooking, cleaning the house, and bedtime. I am flexible, warm and patient. Right now I am working part time at Brooklinen, where much of my focus is on making sure people feel welcome. I love meeting new people, and work great one-on-one. Outside of customer service, my job is to maintain a clean and comfortable space. I am calm, flexible, and comfortable balancing interaction with organizational tasks. I also have dog and cat sitting experience. I have had pets my whole life- I love animals and am very comfortable with their care. I have experience with nannying for senior cats over an extended period, and am comfortable with feeding, changing litter, giving medication and playing. With my own dogs, I am comfortable walking them daily, and taking care of hygiene such as teeth brushing and hair brushing.
Hi! My name is Holland and I recently graduated from Auburn University this past May and moved to New York City for work. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I grew up babysitting and love spending time with children of all ages. In the past I have tutored, given swim lessons, led summer camps, and nannied with several families.
Hello! I'm Isabella! I am a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a genuine love for nurturing and supporting children. I have been a nanny for seven years for children ranging from toddler to pre teen. I love to create a fun and exciting environment for kids. It would be an honor to be a part of your caregiving journey and make a positive difference in your kid's lives!
My name is Emily! I work at an art gallery in Chelsea and am looking to take a part time babysitting gig in the mornings or late afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 14 and worked as a youth dance teacher for 6 years. I'm comfortable with kids of all ages including infants and have worked with families with as many as 5 kids under 12! My responsibilities have included school drop off/pick up, making meals, helping with homework, and coming up with activities to keep everyone entertained and happy. I love animals of all kind and am happy to assist with any housework.
Hi, I’m Lena (lee-nah) While I’m new to the Urban Sitters app, I bring over a decade of professional childcare experience, supporting families with diverse living situations, dietary preferences, age groups and developmental needs. I love building connections with the children and families I work with, taking the time to understand their interests, routines and learning how I can contribute to their growth and well-being. As a dependable and trustworthy caregiver, I’m also deeply committed to fostering healthy development and creating a positive environment for every family I work with. I take pride in offering tailored care for siblings while accommodating the ever-changing needs of busy parents. I’d be happy to answer any questions about my experience or arrange an introductory call/meeting. Thanks for your consideration!
“Lena is the absolute BEST. Do not hesitate before booking her. We did a veryyy long search before hiring her, as we are picky neurotic first time parents. Lena is absolutely amazing with our 5-month-old—always actively engaging with her, and our baby loves her. And when she naps, Lena cooks us the best meals!! We are so grateful to have found her.”

"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
