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 families! I’m a 30-year-old, reliable, energetic, and experienced sitter transitioning from a corporate career back to grad school for clinical psychology. I have been caring semi-regularly for children since I was 12 years old. I grew up with four siblings—two of whom are 12 years younger than me—and I played an active role in helping raise them. That hands-on experience continued through college and my corporate working life here in NYC with dozens of families (new to UrbanSitter, previously used HelloSitter). It has also recently come full circle as I’ve supported my siblings with their own babies, helping with everything from the sensitive postpartum newborn stage to chasing active toddlers. After several years in the corporate tech world, I’ve left to pursue my master’s degree. This schedule change allows me to return to what I genuinely love: hanging out with kids. I bring the “adult” reliability of a former professional (punctual, communicative, safety-conscious) mixed with the warmth and energy of a seasoned aunt/uncle. I am comfortable with all ages, confident with bedtime routines, and happy to help with homework or light meal prep. Looking forward to meeting your family! Note: I built the majority of my career in journalism, and I love tutoring if any kids need help with their homework or college essays!
“Mara is so wonderful. Very responsive, capable, warm, communicative… and my kids immediately liked her. ”
