Hi there! I am 23 years old living in NYC working in advertising, looking for babysitting opportunities. I have extensive babysitting experience with children whose ages range from infants to teenagers. I am CPR certified and majored in Human Development and Family Science at Syracuse University where I focused on child development and worked at an afterschool program for underprivileged children for the entirety of my senior year. During my time at Syracuse I was also a member of the division 1 women’s lacrosse team. I love to bake, read, run, and I love kids!
Hello! - My name is Sharice, most call me Sha, and I'm currently a junior at the School of Visual Arts. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for kids since I was 10 years old! Most of my experience has come from babysitting younger family members as I grew up in a big family and am the 4th oldest of 14 cousins! My responsibilities have included crafts, entertainment, pick-up and drop-off, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own 95 year-old grandma and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook and do many other tasks. Though I was raised in a pet-allergic household, I have been blessed without the allergy and am in love with furry friends!
Hi! My name is Alex - I am 27 and work for Major League Baseball but looking to start babysitting on the side. I love working with kids and have babysat for multiple age groups/kids/etc since a young age. Excited to work with you and your family!
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.
Hi! I’m a warm, responsible, and easygoing caregiver and family assistant. I graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Psychology, and I’ll be starting my Master’s in Social Work at NYU in the Fall of 2027, where I’m interested in working with children and families. For the past six years, I worked closely with one family and became a big part of their day-to-day life. I was very invested in their day-to-day life but as the needs of the family and my own goals have changed, I am looking to find part-time work until I start studying full time next year. Ultimately I hope to be a reliable resource for any family needing occasional/part-time help.

"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
