Love cats! I can take care of multiple cats including ones with special needs. Happy to do overnight pet sitting if your cats need someone around more than a few minutes a day.
Hi! My name is Polly and I recently graduated with a Bachelors of Business from the University of Canberra in Australia. Since then I have moved back home and am setting myself up again. I grew up in Brooklyn and I have been babysitting/working with kids since I was 13 years old. I have experience with kids between the ages of 1 to 12 nannying and 4 to 17 in educational environments. I am an artist. primarily photography, but I love al kinds of crafts. I also love being outside, cooking, and music. I am currently looking for just one off nightly babysitting, but am also open to a part time after school pick up for the right fit!
Hello! My name is Victoria, and I'm 26 years old. I'm from Argentina, but currently living in New York. In Argentina, I have worked as a babysitter from 18 years old and as a teacher from 21 years old, so I have a great experience with kids and teenagers. I always try to talk with the kids, get to know them better and have fun with them. My responsibilities have included: drive, cook, pick-up and drop kids off from/to school or activities, help with bedtime routine, etc.
I’m an experienced and energetic nanny and babysitter with several years of caring for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. I’ve successfully managed busy households with up to five children and multiple pets, keeping routines organized while creating a warm, fun environment for kids to grow and feel supported. I love engaging children through drawing, singing, and creative play, and I bring a naturally bubbly, positive personality to every family I work with. As a former camp counselor, I’m also experienced in leading groups of children, planning activities, and maintaining a safe, structured environment while making sure kids have a great time.
Hi! My name is Michelle, and I work remotely as a consultant Monday through Friday. In addition to my professional work, I’m offering reliable child care, senior care, pet care, and household services to families in need of extra help. I’ve been caring for children of all ages since I was 14, and I truly enjoy creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments for them. I also volunteered at a preschool, where I loved helping the kids learn and grow through play and creative activities. Along with childcare, I have experience caring for seniors — especially my grandparents — and understand the importance of patience, kindness, and companionship. I’m responsible, caring, and easy to work with & I take pride in providing the kind of care that you can rely on. I’d be more than happy to chat over the phone or meet in person so you can get to know me better and feel completely comfortable :)

"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
