Hi! I just joined UrbanSitters and excited to get to know the families using this app. I am currently in FIDI and moved to NYC two years ago. I grew up in Florida. I currently work with a finance firm and looking to babysit part-time or for date nights and events! Open to spending time doing hobbies that the kids enjoy while I am watching them! Whether that’s arts/crafts, entertainment, and sports :) Looking forward to meeting all of you and answer any additional questions.
“Tanmeeka was amazing! She helped us out last minute and was super punctual. We had her watch our two kids (ages 2.5 and 5.5) at a hotel for a few hours while we went out. She took them to dinner at the restaurant, had a dance party and played games with our kids. I will definitely be using her again next time we are in NYC! ”
Hello! I'm Kirstie, and I bring over 10 years of comprehensive babysitting experience. During grad school, I was a night nanny for premature twins, which honed my skills in providing specialized care. I have also had the pleasure of traveling with families, ensuring smooth and enjoyable trips for both parents and children. Additionally, I have confidently managed solo childcare for up to four days at a time, showcasing my reliability and trustworthiness. My four years working at an overnight summer camp have equipped me with a diverse set of skills to engage children in fun, educational, and safe activities. I am comfortable driving children and adept at handling various responsibilities, whether it's part-time, full-time, or occasional babysitting. My goal is to create a nurturing and positive environment for your children, making their well-being my top priority. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and meet your childcare needs!
Dear parents, I am a 35year old nanny from Poland. I graduated from Oklahoma City University with a dual degree BA in cello performance and liberal arts and obtained my MA in Public International Law/ Human Rights degree from John Jay college. I have eight years of experience working as a nanny and I can provide multiple references upon request. Through college, I took classes in child development and had various opportunities to work as a tutor as well as a full-time and part-time babysitter to families with children of varying ages, including newborns. I am responding to your advertisement because I am a very honest, responsible, loving, and warm person, truly committed to any job I do but especially those in childcare. I have found so much joy working closely with many families and helping their children develop. I am looking to find a nice family to work with occasionally and help out as much as possible; and always with a smile. I have been told many times how much parents value my preparation for work. I always come up with different activities for the children to keep them mentally stimulated but also to ensure they're having fun with their imaginations and creativity! In a typical day, the children would participate in Arts and Crafts projects, music lessons, story-telling, and many safe and fun games. I always make my activity plans based on what children are interested in, as well as the activities that their parents prefer. I believe in the importance of routine, but as always, I put the parents concerns first. In addition, I pride myself on always helping with cooking, laundering, and cleaning. I hope I get the chance to meet with you and I thank you so much for your time and consideration. If You have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Kind Regards, Agata
Hi! I currently work full-time in higher education as a college counselor, but have extensive experience in childcare as a full-time nanny & part-time sitter as well as teacher for younger students. I used to direct an After School Program (at SPCC) for school-aged children, K-5, and taught English (ESL) to high school students. I personally love working with kids as it's a great way to get to know my community and have fun with cool & interesting wee ones! I have references and my rates are negotiable. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule with may allow additional hours. Most evenings & almost all weekends are wide open. Please reach out with any questions!
“Alex was so thorough and absolutely incredible with my daughter Charlotte. Couldn’t recommend her more. ”
Hi! My name is Lily, I work and live full time in New York, and I went to Virginia Tech for school. I love being a babysitter and I’m trying to find opportunities to continue baby-sitting here. I have been baby-sitting since I was about 14 years old. I’ve sat kids 9-11, and my younger cousins who are 3, 7, 10, and 13. I am a kind, thoughtful and creative person who likes to craft, knit, read and play board games in my free time. I love kids and I am a patient, responsible, and caring individual. I can also work as a household assistant who cleans, runs errands, house sits or pet sits. I grew up with 3 cats and a dog and I just adore pets. I miss my chocolate lab back at my parent’s house. :)

"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
