I am a dedicated, intentional, fun and gentle personality with a deep love for children and a passion in serving and caring for others. In my blended family of four siblings , I am the eldest of three so my caregiving familiarity spans almost my entire life. Professionally, I have 4 years experience caring for little to medium humans from ages 1-16 in various roles like an after school teacher and summer camp counselor. From homework help to fun engaging activities to genuine joy in care, I'm there! Ready and eager to serve. I am also available for house and pet-sitting!
Hi! My name is Lizzie and I have recently moved to New York City and I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and have experience nannying and caring for children of all ages. One family I’ve worked with has been part of my life for nearly 10 years, giving me the opportunity to care for several of their children from as young as 3 months old. I have also spent time nannying where I have been responsible for cooking meals, helping with homework, driving to and from school/extracurriculars, and assisting with chores. I also have 6 years of experience house and dog sitting, so I’m comfortable caring for pets and keeping a home tidy and organized while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and I love cooking, organizing, and helping wherever I can. I’m responsible, dependable, and looking forward to getting to know your family!
Hi! My name is Guliana! I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work and work with middle and high school students. I have previous experience working with children and young adults with disabilities, which has helped me develop a patient, caring, and attentive approach when working with children of all ages. I also have experience pet sitting and am comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and make it a priority to give them my full attention while creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I’m happy to help with homework, playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and anything else your family may need. I’m also willing to help with light cleaning, cooking, errands, and other household tasks. I’m very flexible with scheduling and am happy to work with your family to find an arrangement that works best for everyone. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, caring support for your children!
Hi! I’m Maddie, a 22 year old recent college graduate who just started working full time as a paralegal in Manhattan. I’m looking for some extra work with flexible scheduling and really miss my many previous jobs working with children, so I figured this would be the perfect fit!
Hello!! My name is Analese and I am the sixth of nine children in my family, so I began babysitting at a very young age. Growing up, I babysat siblings, nieces and nephews, and family friends, with my responsibilities including childcare, pet care, transportation, tutoring and more! While attending university, I worked as a nanny and have experience working with infants and children up to the age of 15. During my last semester, I began working as a Registered Behavior Technician, gaining 1 year of experience providing ABA (applied behavioral analysis) therapy to children diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) aged 15 months-9 years old. I am grateful for this experience and actively implement ABA techniques when working with all children. I have always loved working with children and feel I have a natural ability to meet kids at their level. I often find that I have learned from them just as much as they learn from me! I hope to work and save to eventually become a pediatric neuropsychologist.

"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."
