I am a second-year student from Southern California studying at business and politics at Fordham University LC. I have an identical twin sister who I am very close with, and who also attends Fordham University! I have 5+ years of babysitting experience for neighborhood family and friends, and an additional year's worth of experience working as an activities coordinator at the Four Seasons Aviara, where I facilitated crafts in the kids club, helped manage operations around the resort, and assisted with babysitting services while parents left their kids in my care on their vacation time. I was a competitive dancer throughout high school where I often helped mentor the "mini" dance team with my studio, including assisting with their classes and helping them get dressed and prepared at competitions. When I am not in class or doing homework, I also really enjoy running, going for walks, -- or doing anything active really -- reading, and hanging out with my friends around the city. I hope to be able to use my services to create a warm and welcome community for the kids left in my care, and assist with whatever actions are needed to ensure a great childhood filled with love and comfort!
I have been babysitting since I was 14years old and love kids! I volunteered in the nursery (ages 1 through 4) at my church all four years of high school. In addition, while in college I nannied for two years. I have continued to babysit post graduation as much as I can! I was an early learners tutor at Kumon and taught swimming to kids ages 2 and up. So in addition to Babysitting, I’m well equipped to help with homework and provide swimming lessons!
Hi- My name is Maya and I am currently a junior at NYU. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have always loved being a babysitter and spending time with kids and have taken care of mostly 4 year olds and older and a 1 year old since being in high school. I also worked as a summer camp counselor for 3 years with loads of different aged children. I also tutored young children in high school and have worked with high school children since being in college. A fun fact about me is I am fluent in French if any children happen to be needing language help. I am mostly looking for childcare opportunities as I absolutely adore looking after children and watching them grow and experience all the energy and joy they have to offer. I am a responsible, attentive, and energetic caretaker, am very patient when need be, and will be able to communicate with children and parents about anything that may come up. I can also work as a household assistant and can run errands, as well as love caring for all sorts of animals and would also be interested in pet care services. *I will be out of town June 19-29 my schedule is very clear and flexible before and after that
Hi! I’m Lindsey – a full-time product manager living in Brooklyn and working in Manhattan. I'm currently looking for part-time nannying opportunities—ideally on weekends, though I’m also open to some evening jobs during the week after work. I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with homework, preparing meals, and managing bedtime routines. Whether you're looking for a dependable weekend sitter or occasional weekday support, I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family.
Hi there! My name is Gigi. I'm originally from Seattle and currently live in Bushwick/Ridgewood. I attended the University of San Francisco, where I graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Media Studies. I have been in NYC since 2018 and worked as a long term nanny and family assistant until 2023, when I stepped away to focus on my artistic pursuits! I was a dancer for a long while and have more recently been pursuing performance art and physical theatre by way of theatre clowning! I am taking a show I have written and directed with a dear friend to Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this summer :). I have missed working with young ones and so I am back! Play, discovery, and having a healthy relationship with The Flop (failure) is important to my work as a performance artist as well as when I work with kids. I'm learning no other work is as enriching or fulfilling...so here I am! I am passionate about nurturing and supporting a child's creativity, curiosity, and individuality, as well as building healthy self-esteem! While I don't have any official certifications or training in childcare, I've learned a lot and have had great success through teaching dance and tutoring. In my own personal life, a lot of work is centered on using the arts as a healing modality, as well as working through generational trauma and dysfunctional family patterns and behaviors. I find that this work has taught me to become a more empathetic, nurturing, and patient person and has greatly impacted how I relate to children in particular. I am incredibly careful and intentional with my time spent around kids and hope to provide only the warmest, most supportive, and gently engaging environment. Thank you so much for your consideration and time and I look forward to supporting your family any way I can!

"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."
