My name is Emily! I work at an art gallery in Chelsea and am looking to take a part time babysitting gig in the mornings or late afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 14 and worked as a youth dance teacher for 6 years. I'm comfortable with kids of all ages including infants and have worked with families with as many as 5 kids under 12! My responsibilities have included school drop off/pick up, making meals, helping with homework, and coming up with activities to keep everyone entertained and happy. I love animals of all kind and am happy to assist with any housework.
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.
Hi! I’m Breana, I’ve always loved being around kids and helping families. I’m patient, caring, and easygoing, and I try to make every day fun but still structured. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or keeping a good routine, I like to make sure kids feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their parents are away. People usually describe me as reliable, calm under pressure, and great with communication. I take pride in showing up on time and giving my full attention to the kids I’m caring for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. I’d love to be someone your family can count on, whether it’s for regular help or last-minute care. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!
Hi! My name is Josephine. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon, but recently graduated from Boston College in May, and moved to New York City in June! I've been babysitting since middle school and have the most experience caring for toddlers and school-age children, though I'm happy to work with kids of any age. I'm incredibly responsible, organized, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe and fun environment for the children I care for. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help around the house with cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walking, and other household tasks. I also speak French and a little Spanish, and I'm glad to help with homework or provide extra academic support when needed. A little about me: I love spending time outdoors, exploring New York, and visiting art museums. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, or helping with homework, I enjoy finding activities that keep kids engaged and having fun. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and help however l can!
Hi! I’m Lia, a caring, responsible, and nurturing caregiver with experience working closely with young children. As a violinist getting a degree in music performance, I’ve taught violin to younger kids, which has taught me how to be patient, encouraging, attentive, and able to communicate with children of different personalities and learning styles. I also grew up helping take care of my younger cousins, so being around children and looking after them has always felt very natural to me. I moved to New York at a young age to study violin at Juilliard Pre-college and became very independent early on, which taught me how to be responsible, organized, dependable, and comfortable handling things on my own. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I’m also an experienced pet caregiver and currently work through Rover as a dog sitter and walker, where I have received five-star reviews from clients. Caring for animals has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to follow routines and specific instructions. Overall, I’m naturally very nurturing and would love to be someone a family can rely on, whether that means keeping children entertained, helping with homework or music, preparing meals, caring for pets, or helping around the home. I can also provide services in Mandarin if needed, as well as violin and beginner piano.

"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."
