Hello my name is Angelica. I'm currently majoring in Early Childhood at Queens College. I look forward to completing my schooling and becoming an elementary school teacher. I currently work for Kindercare as a lead teacher. I love interacting with kids, playing games, and doing indoor/outdoor activities with them. I enjoy being surrounded by children because of their imagination and creativity. I am a creative person who enjoys making crafty items and exploring sensory activities using safe materials for children. I love listening to music of all different genres, reading non-fiction books, dancing, and meeting people of all different cultures. I am very skilled in supervising activities of children of different ages while providing them with ongoing care and a safe environment. I pay special attention to detailed instructions that vary from family to family. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones.
I graduated from Columbia University with a master’s in clinical psychology. I currently work full time as a researcher studying teen mental health, but have a flexible schedule. At the moment, I am only looking for occasional babysitting jobs. I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages in various settings. I have had numerous part time nanny jobs with infants and children from as young as new borns up to 15 years old. Additionally, I was a camp counselor for 5-8 year olds growing up and also a math and reading tutor at Kumon for over two years so I have experience in helping with school work and tutoring. Additionally, I graduated from UC Davis for undergrad in 2020, studying psychology and human development, so I have lots of knowledge about the development of children and their behavior and needs. I am reliable, extremely empathetic, kind, and funny and can easily connect well with kids to create a fun and safe relationship. Lastly, I am a big animal lover and open to pet sitting jobs as well!
“Wonderful, responsible, and kind. Hope we can work with her again. ”
Hello! My name is Stephanni and I have been babysitting/working in daycare centers for over a decade, beginning at my church nursery when I turned 14. I worked there for two years, taking care of children from 3 months-12 years old. When I turned 16, I began working at the daycare center at Lifetime Fitness (a gym in Texas) until I graduated high school. In college, I nannied for 3 children ages 11-15, and drove them to and from their after school activities. I moved to NY from Texas 10 years ago and have no plans to move anywhere else! My favorite thing to do in the city is to walk around and explore different neighborhoods and try different restaurants. In my spare time, I also love going to concerts and traveling! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need more information!
Hey! I’m Emily. I’m a creative an compassionate caregiver, available for once in a while or part-time day or night time babysitting! I also can help with pets (over 8 years of professional petcare experience), homework, pick ups and drop offs (valid driver's license), etc. I’m an actor and a yoga teacher, have experience with sick and elderly care, and I love to read and hang out and play outside!
“We had a last min need for a sitter for our 3yo while visiting NYC. Emily was the first to respond when we posted the job. She reached out that AM proactively to confirm, was responsive (took my call) and arrived on time. My wife met her and said she was very nice/professional. We'll be sure to reach out to Emily again next time we are in NYC.”
Hello, I'm Gina and I’m so excited to work with you! I’m a graduate of NYU where I received my Masters of Music in Vocal Performance (musical theatre). I’ve received in person guided and hands on training/instruction and certification in both adult and infant First Aid and CPR. I’m the middle child of three children, and one of 22 grandchildren in my family so I am very accustomed to being surrounded by young children running around! My mother has worked as an early childhood educator/administrator my entire life. Many of the tactics she utilized in her classroom were the same ones she used raising my siblings and I. I’ve learned much of what I use in childcare from her, including helping the young ones with their coursework! I worked as a sitter in the Chicagoland area before moving here to NYC for school and am now looking for new families to work with. Hope to connect soon!

"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."
