Hi, My name is Victoria and I was born and raised in the UK relocating to CA in 1999 where I raised my beautiful daughter Alexandra. I have lived in NYC for the past 8 years. I have many years of experience taking care of children of all ages. I am responsible, punctual, kind and patient. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of children and will always provide a safe environment for your child.

Victoria was very responsive and on time. She engaged with my son well and they played games together.

Booked by 2 families in Fresh Meadows, NY

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.

I have a close relationship with the children in my family and have been involved in caretaking for my younger cousins since my years early in high school (14-15 years old). I've also been responsible for caretaking for my neighbor's dog regularly during the day from 9-7/8 PM and am very comfortable with dogs generally.

Booked by 1 family in Fresh Meadows, NY

Hi – My name is Madeline and I’m a college graduate currently based in New York. I am offering child care, pet care, and household help. I love working with kids and have experience babysitting infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m creative, patient, and love doing crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I’m also happy to help with homework or school pickups. I’ve supported busy families with cooking, organizing, errands, and light cleaning. I’m detail-oriented and love bringing calm to a busy home. I’m great with animals and have no allergies, so I'm happy to help with walks, feedings, and playtime.

Booked by 3 families in Fresh Meadows, NY

Hello! My name is Ava and I have quite a bit of nannying and babysitting experience! I am 22 years old and began seriously nannying when I was 17. However, the real babysitting started when my two little brothers were born and I gained newborn and early childhood experience through them. I have helped numerous families and absolutely love children. I am energetic and uplifting and love to adventure with the children or stick to a successful routine! I live in the East Village area but can commute if needed. I am experienced in all ages, and can do overnight as well!

Ava has beautiful warm energy and a fun spirit that inspired my girls to begin hugging her almost immediately upon meeting and made me feel very comfortable with my choice of her as a sitter. She took them out to dinner and shopping in SoHo and checked in regularly and, most remarkably (given time change since we are traveling), had them asleep by the time we returned from dinner. 💖
