Hi, my name is Adriana and I am an elementary school teacher on the Upper East Side. I just finished my 6th year of teaching and I have experience teaching 3rd-5th grade. My experience with working with children ages 4-14 dates back to when I was in high school when I taught dance classes at my dance studio. I also worked as a camp counselor at a 7 week sleep away camp in Maine for three summers during college. I love babysitting and tutoring kids between the ages of 4 and 14.
Hi Families! My name is Corrine, and I’m 27 years old. I am new to Urban Sitter, but I’ve been caring for children of all ages for over 10 years. I babysat all throughout high school, college, and post college, and I was also an after school teacher during my 4 years in college. Babysitting has always been such a rewarding part of my life, and I love creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. I would describe myself as kind, patient, and reliable. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, picking up your kids from school/activities, or keeping kids entertained with games and crafts, I’m happy to jump in wherever I’m needed. I’m also available for evenings, weekends, or daytime care, depending on your family’s schedule. Along with childcare, I have lots of experience with pets, too! I grew up in a home full of animals (including four Labrador Retrievers all at once), and I currently help care for my parents puppy and an older lab. So if you have furry family members, I’ll treat them with just as much care and love. I’d love the chance to support your family and give you peace of mind knowing your kids are in good hands.
Hello! I'm Isabella! I am a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a genuine love for nurturing and supporting children. I have been a nanny for seven years for children ranging from toddler to pre teen. I love to create a fun and exciting environment for kids. It would be an honor to be a part of your caregiving journey and make a positive difference in your kid's lives!
Hi! I’m Victoria and I’m a recent college graduate work in banking, but I have always had a passion for working with children. My main goals will always be to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. Over the years, I’ve gained 2-3 years of experience through babysitting for family and friends, as well as volunteering at local elementary schools as well working at a day care for 2 years. I also am a soccer coach for kids ages 5-8! I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy engaging children in creative activities like arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I also understand the importance of following routines, offering emotional support, and ensuring safety at all times. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring and reliable experience for your children or pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can be of help!
Hi, my name is Amy! I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate and EMT with a few months off before starting my job. My schedule is wide open right now until mid January. Previously, I have babysat numerous families and nannied two full summers with babies/kids of all ages. I am energetic and fun while also responsible and caring. I love being in the outdoors, dancing, and playing games! I have completed multiple CPR trainings and am well equipped to help in most emergency situations. As an EMT and PA I have worked with many kids as well. Please contact me if you think I would be a good fit for 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."
