Hi! I’m a dedicated childcare provider who just moved back to New York after spending the last four years teaching early learners (ages 3–6) in Krakow, Poland. I absolutely love working with kids and bring a lot of patience, creativity, and calm energy to my time with them. I’m also currently earning my master’s in education through the University of Glasgow. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and cozy environment where your child feels happy and supported. I’m always happy to help however I can — can’t wait to meet your family!
“*updating as of 1/13/26: we have continued to use Danielle regularly since we first met her and are BEYOND delighted to have found her. She is amazing with our son, he is SO excited to see her, and she's super reliable - you would be lucky to have Danielle watch your children! :) They go to the park, she prepares his meals, and I really appreciate that she plays with him / is on "his level" the entire time - they have a blast and he is genuinely excited for his "friend" to come over and play. 10/10 recommend! I am delighted to recommend Danielle as a reliable, responsible, warm and dedicated caregiver! I connected with Danielle through Urban Sitter and she was super responsive / warm / organized in our initial correspondence - I then spoke with a mom in Poland who Danielle had worked for in the past who spent 30 minutes on the phone with me and could not recommend Danielle highly enough (she had cared for 3 of her sons) - we met Danielle in person last Friday and spent a few hours watching our 1.5 year old and he had the BEST time. Danielle was super calm, loving, play-oriented and very responsive to all of our directions / instructions. She took him out for a walk, prepared his dinner, and gave him lots of attention / love / play - he was in GREAT spirits when we came home. We have decided to hire Danielle on a recurring basis to watch our toddler at least 1-2 times per week. I definitely recommend hiring Danielle and we can't wait to work with her again (and feel so lucky to have found her!).”
Hi ! My name is Jessica, I am very outgoing and would love to provide my services where needed. I have good experience with kids, I tend to help family members with taking care of my cousins.

Hello! My name is Mary, and I am a preschool special education teacher currently working in Queens, NY. I am offering childcare services along with light housekeeping, including cleaning, vacuuming, laundry, and preparing simple snacks. I have a strong passion for teaching children and have been in the field of early childhood education for sixteen years. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, teenagers, and young adults, with the majority of my experience focused on children ages 2–5. My responsibilities as a teacher include lesson planning, creating hands-on crafts, and reading age-appropriate storybooks. I am comfortable working in homes with small dogs; however, I am not accustomed to working with other pets, such as cats, hamsters, or large dogs

My name is Olga, and I’m a dedicated and nurturing mother of three amazing teenagers, whom I’ve raised to be respectful, intelligent, kind, and independent. Parenting has been the most rewarding journey of my life, and it has shaped my deep passion for working with children. Through firsthand experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of children's emotional, social, and educational needs. I am fluent in English, Russian, Spanish, and Hebrew, which gives me the unique ability to communicate and connect with children and families from many different cultural backgrounds. I strongly believe that every child is unique and has incredible potential. I take great joy in helping children discover their strengths and talents, whether it’s through creative activities, academic support, or simply spending quality time together. I am an outgoing, energetic person who loves to plan fun and meaningful activities for kids. I enjoy taking children on nature hikes, organizing outdoor games, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, and engaging them in cooking and baking. I believe these hands-on experiences not only teach valuable life skills but also build confidence and creativity. Being responsible and dependable is something I take very seriously. As a parent myself, I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for children. I treat every child in my care as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, and respect. I bring not only my love for children but also my life experience, multilingual skills, and positive energy to everything I do. I am truly passionate about helping children grow into the best version of themselves.

"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."
