Experienced infant specialist with 16 years of childcare experience caring for children from as young as 3 weeks old through adolescence. I specialize in newborn and infant care, providing calm, attentive, and nurturing support while helping families maintain consistent routines and a peaceful environment. I’m especially well-suited for families seeking reliable infant care, evening/date-night coverage, or overnight support when children are asleep. I hold dual Bachelor’s degrees from Brandeis University in Biology and Health: Science, Society and Policy. My background includes working as a Teaching Assistant at the Lemberg Children’s Center, serving as a Youth Counselor with the Police Athletic League in Brooklyn, and teaching violin to children of all ages. I currently work part-time as a middle school teacher and professional violinist. Families describe me as patient, dependable, warm, and highly attentive. I genuinely love supporting children in their earliest developmental stages and creating a safe, comforting environment where both children and parents feel at ease.
“She was so wonderful! Our son slept in her arms most of the time he was so peaceful ”
Hello Families, My name is Angela, and I am from Colombia. I have been caring for children for the past 18 years. I am CPR/First Aid certified and possess a California driver's license. I am current on all my vaccines. I am also a certified Postpartum Doula with over 13 years of experience. My philosophy is to support the baby, the mom, and the family in creating a balanced and loving environment. I am highly dedicated to my work and take it seriously. I enjoy activities such as engaging in art projects, visiting parks, museums, and zoos, going for walks, and baking with children. I appreciate parents who provide clear instructions for their children's routines, set boundaries, and communicate effectively. One preference I have is that children usually stay away from screens while with me, except on weekends, although I respect if parents prefer otherwise. Thank you! P.S.: I am finishing my program in late May and will be available after June 14th. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions!
“Absolutely wonderful!!! ”
Hello, my name is Iva; I am a 25-year-old NYU student (History/Econ Major), born in Zagreb, Croatia, and my favorite color is blue. I have been babysitting for the past three years, not including taking care of my sister, who is 10 years my junior. I have extensive experience with boys and girls ages 4 and up, and am competent with after school pickups and transport to activities, homework help, cooking, light housekeeping, and house sitting. Areas of homework help I am most comfortable with are History and English. I am currently looking for part-time, after-school work; I am flexible with travel, hourly rates, and date-night babysitting.
“Very friendly, kids liked her, will definitely have her back!”
I am the mother of a teenaged boy, and I absolutely love being a mother. I have lots of experience with children of all ages. I currently work as a nursery school teacher on the Upper East Side. I am very compassionate, patient and energetic.
“Belynda was amazing with my little one! She sent updates which made me feel at ease. Highly recommend!”

"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."
