Hi, my name is Lindsay and I'm a UC Berkeley graduate from Los Angeles, California who moved to NYC last May and currently works in advertising. I love babysitting and have experience independently watching kids as young as 1 and as old as 14. I worked as a summer camp counselor for multiple years where I was in charge of kids between the ages of 4 and 7. I've helped with homework, made food, changed diapers, and planned arts and crafts. I can also serve as a personal assistant and run any errands or help clean up. I grew up with dogs and would be comfortable helping take care of them as well.

If you're looking for someone responsible, warm, and ready to jump in wherever needed, I’d love to help!

Hi! I’m Lindsey – a full-time product manager living in Brooklyn and working in Manhattan. I'm currently looking for part-time nannying opportunities—ideally on weekends, though I’m also open to some evening jobs during the week after work. I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with homework, preparing meals, and managing bedtime routines. Whether you're looking for a dependable weekend sitter or occasional weekday support, I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family.
Hi! My name is Sofia, and I’m going into my junior year at Caldwell University, where I’m a student-athlete on the women’s basketball team. I’m responsible, reliable, and love working with kids of all ages. I come from a big, close-knit family and have been taking care of my younger cousins and family members for as long as I can remember. Spending time with kids has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy helping them learn, grow, and have fun. (I also have two cats and a dog.) As a college athlete, I’m energetic, patient, and know how to keep children engaged while making sure they’re always safe. I’ve consistently been on the Dean’s List at Caldwell University and am a member of the National Honor Society, so I’m also happy to help with homework, studying, and creating positive learning habits while making schoolwork feel less stressful. My responsibilities have included driving children to and from camps, practices, sports, and other activities, planning arts and crafts, playing at the playground, helping with homework, and organizing fun games and activities. Since I play college basketball, I especially love staying active with kids through sports, outdoor play, and anything that keeps them moving and having fun. I’m flexible, dependable, and understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust. Whether it’s helping with busy after-school schedules, keeping little ones entertained, or simply being another caring and positive role model, I’m always happy to help however I can. I look forward to meeting your family! 😊

"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."
