Hi, I’m Tatyana, a dependable, capable, and thoughtful extra set of hands for families and households throughout New York City. For more than ten years, I’ve worked with children, pets, and busy households in different capacities, learning that no two families operate the same way. My approach is adaptable, intuitive, and grounded in understanding how to support a home without disrupting it. I started babysitting in middle school with my younger cousins and quickly became the neighborhood’s trusted sitter throughout high school. In 2021, I worked as a nanny for three children ages 5, 7, and 9, helping manage the rhythm of daily life through school support, meals, activities, park outings, crafts, games, and homework. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and stepping in wherever needed to keep things running smoothly. In addition to childcare, I offer cat care, dog walking, light senior companionship, and household support including laundry, cooking, errands, organization, and deep cleaning. I understand that the best household support often comes from anticipating needs before they become tasks. Some families prefer structure and routines. Others thrive with flexibility. I adjust accordingly while remaining reliable, calm, and respectful of the systems already in place within your home. I enjoy reading with children, creative projects, board games, outdoor time, and creating an environment where children feel both safe and genuinely cared for. Availability • Evenings and weekends • One-time and occasional support Rates • $28/hour • $175 flat overnight rate I am not currently CPR certified but would be happy to obtain certification if requested. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can best support your family and home!!
Hi - My name is Joyce and I am offering child care and senior services. I have over 15 years of experience in child care and have my CPR / AED certification. I have experience taking care of children with allergies. My responsibilities are making simple meals, light house cleaning, accompany parents to children appointments, plan and partake in our door activities and arts and craft. I have been a caretaker for my own parents in the past as well as for others and am comfortable with Senior Care.
Hi everyone! My name is Eleni, and I’m a recent graduate of Syracuse University. I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I have over two years of babysitting experience with children ages 2 to 15. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, as well as household and dog care! Over the past two years, I’ve helped several families throughout NY with everything from homework and school projects to arts and crafts, Spanish lessons, and bedtime routines. This past year, I also regularly babysat for two families on weekends and weekday evenings while working my full-time job. I’m very outgoing, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with kids! I enjoy getting to know their personalities and interests, whether that means playing games, building Legos, or getting creative with crafts. Having grown up in NYC, I’m also very comfortable navigating the city and using public transportation. I also have experience with dog sitting and house sitting and am happy to provide references upon request! 😊 Please feel free to reach out. I’d love to get to know you and your family!
“Last week, I booked Eleni to watch my 10 year old son and we were both immediately taken by her warmth and friendliness. She arrived early and was enthusiastic about who my child is and all of the things he's interested in. Eleni was a perfect solution to a last minute child care on a friday night. We will be happy to book again in the future :)”
Hi, I’m Jocelyn! I’m currently a college student at Baruch College. My services include child care, dog and pet care. My experience with taking care of kids go way back to when I was taking care of younger relatives since I was around 10. I’m currently a chaperone for 2 kids on Saturdays and watching them do their online tutoring. I can practically do everything you need for child care! I mainly do pickup from school to home or to an afterschool activity but no at home sitting. I am also a math tutor so I can do tutoring at the library with your child if needed! As for pet experience, I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of family pets (mostly dogs) and making sure they’re fed on time, walking them, and making sure they’re happy overall!
Hi! My name is Lourdes, I am looking for one time + part time babysitting gigs for now - onward. Happy to discuss my available hours! Since September 2021, I have experience with kids from 3 months - 14 years old. I also have extensive experience with pet + house sitting (cats and dogs). For my longest term gig, from December 2021 - February 2023 I was a part-time nanny for a family in the West Village with 3 children (ages 6-12) and supported with tasks such as school pick up, meal prep, bedtime, packing, homework assistance, emotional support, ubering around, light housekeeping, and traveled with them internationally. Whilst working with them, I also was able to develop relationships with other families within their school community, a total of 6 other families who would be able to, and to this day, ask for help when needed. I've been described as fun, creative, crafty, and very quick on my feet, I'm a great multitasker. I've also been described as the family "vibe checker", I'm always looking to brighten up the energy in a room. I am currently in school full time to finish my BA in Film Production and Classical / Latin + Greek Studies. I speak fluent Italian and Spanish, and am developing a career as an actor and film producer. I am a big advocate for the arts and would love to share my love for reading / painting / singing with whomever I'm babysitting. I’m also the oldest of four sisters, if that’s any reassurance, and have also done school drop off, pick up, and meal prep with them. I love cooking and am also comfortable tidying up with dishes and meal prep. My Linkedin is the same as my name here. Happy to provide references. Hope to meet you soon!
“Lourdes is everything you could want in a sitter. She’s communicative, flexible and fun. She started babysitting for me when I was a new mom and nervous about leaving my baby with someone who wasn’t a family member and now it’s hard for me to leave my kids with anyone else! We love Lourdes! 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."
