Olivia $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Olivia and I’m currently a sophomore at Pace University. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting, and have been doing so since the age of 14. I grew up watching my younger cousin, as well; so I have experience with children in all growth stages, ranging from toddler to preteen. My responsibilities in the past have included, getting to and from school safely, meal prep, crafts and playtime, outdoor activities, baking, and so much more! I have also been working part time in a nursing home, so I am very comfortable with senior care as well! Additionally, I’d love to run any errands you may have, cook, clean, etc. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I’m also more than willing to watch your furry friends as well.
Emma $26 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Emma. I’m currently completing my master’s in social work at Columbia. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience with children ages 1–11. Through my work and as an older sister, I’ve developed a genuine love for caring for kids. I enjoy spending time outdoors and reading, and I love encouraging the kids I work with to explore those activities too. I’m always happy to help with homework. I’m also comfortable with pets and am happy to help with household responsibilities!

"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."
