Hi there! I'm Valerie, a graduate student and experienced sitter in South Slope. I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Art History at Hunter College. This past spring, I graduated from Wesleyan University with a B.A. in Art History (and with High Honors, induction into Phi Beta Kappa, and Departmental Awards). I was born and raised in New York. I'm available for occasional work during the week, including evening babysitting, dog sitting, house sitting, and help with cleaning and home organization. I have experience working with toddlers and school-aged children. I am 92NY certified for babysitting. I also have plenty of experience with dog and cat sitting. I grew up immersed in the arts -- especially visual art and theater -- and am a classically trained pianist. I'm happy to help kids practice piano or assist with homework, particularly in humanities-related subjects. Happy to answer any questions!
hi! I'm an experienced babysitter, tutor, and pet sitter. I have years of experience working with families in the neighborhood and love hanging out with kids. I really value staying present in the moment with children and make sure to listen to their needs.
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.
Hi, I’m Anya! I’m a New York City native offering child care, dog-sitting, and house-sitting services across the city. I know every neighborhood and train line like the back of my hand! I hold a BFA with a minor in Business Marketing and currently work a corporate 9-to-5, but I’ve always loved caring for kids. I babysat throughout college and grew up as the eldest of two younger brothers. I also frequently babysit my 12-year-old niece. I work in digital media, so I know all about the latest kid trends - huge fan of K Pop Demon Hunters! I’m responsible, creative, and patient, and I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like art projects, games, or chess. I cook healthy meals, speak two languages, and am great with dogs (but allergic to cats). I also played volleyball throughout high school, so I'm familiar with sports and a huge advocate for fitness. Also happy to help with homework! I excelled at math, English, and history. Reliable, nurturing, and upbeat. I live in the city, so open to last-minute babysitting needs!
Hi! My name is Eliza and I am currently earning my masters in social work at Columbia University. I graduated from Northeastern with a bachelors in psychology and human services in 2021 and have nearly a decade of babysitting experience. I am energetic, warm, and organized. From homework help, to pick ups and drop offs, to games and art projects, I am up for all the things! I have experience with multiple children at once (up to 8), infants, and children with physical and intellectual disabilities. I can provide references upon request!

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
