***Please check my calendar for the most accurate view of my availability.*** Hello parents and guardians! Thank you so much for visiting my profile. My name is Jennifer. I am responsible, creative, patient, fascinated with child development, and most importantly love to embrace my inner child. The majority of my experience has been with children as young as 2 weeks old up to 14 years. I consider myself a big advocate of child-directed play, learning, and exploring but of course within a structure. I believe that children do best in environments where they are respected and understood. Having a caregiver understand how you feel as a child, and empathize with your feelings, while still setting boundaries, makes a big difference in their lives. I also LOVE furbabies, whether they're dogs, cats, or exotic pets, I’m a huge animal lover and enjoy interacting with them. I offer my services as a pet sitter as well, so please feel free to inquire about this. My favorite thing to do is travel to different places. My hobbies are photography, video editing, and writing. 🔸 SAFE COMMUTE: To ensure my safety and because things have changed drastically since early 2020, I require a car (Uber, Lyft, Curb, etc.) from or to your home depending on the time when your booking ends or starts. These apply for bookings that either start before 8:00 a.m. or that end after 8:00 p.m. (20:00). 🔸HOLIDAY RATES: When working holidays I do ask for 1.5x my standard rate. Please check my calendar for availability! It is updated daily but if there’s a time slot you need and don’t see available, please message me to inquire about it! 🔸CANCELLATION POLICY: I understand things may come up requiring you to cancel. I require 48 hours' notice for any cancellations. For less than 48 hours' notice, I charge 50% of the time booked. For cancellations of less than 24 hours’ notice, I require full payment for the time booked. This can be paid through a variety of money transfer apps: Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay, or Paypal.
“Jennifer was so great with our 18m old they had a blast together. She was very professional, kept us in the loop, and followed any guidance we had.”
Hello, My name is Hayley. I received my master’s in occupational therapy, working with both children and adults. In pediatrics, I help with developmental milestones, language skills, and fine/gross motor skills. I’ve worked with clients ages 0-16 years old. I was also a certified ABA therapist for 2 years, working with children with autism, focusing on developing communication, social skills, and life skills. I have background and knowledge on proper positioning, feeding, tummy time, and developmental stages for infants. I have been a child care provider for families for 13 years and have been an Urbansitter for almost 10 years. I am CPR certified (infant CPR certified as well). I have a 4 hour minimum policy for bookings. Currently, I am doing occasional evenings and date nights. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Best, Hayley
“Hayley is professional and friendly. My kids felt comfortable with her right away and had a great time with her. I highly recommend Hayley as a sitter!”
Hiya! I have 15 years of experience working with kids of which I was a nanny for 10 years, and I’ve worked with children from 2 days old to 17 years old. I've also worked in several schools in different roles, working with students both with and without special needs ages 6-19. I spent the 2[removed] school year in San Antonio working as a mentor and tutor in a highschool with City Year, a well known AmeriCorps program. I worked with students on behavior, set goals for improving attendance, and wrote lesson plans as well as tutored them in English 1 and 2(9th and 10th grade) to improve their grades. I have previously taken child development courses pertaining to positive discipline, behavior, and nutrition, and my CPR classes are always up to date. I love going to the park, beach, museums, and anywhere worthwhile. I love to construct anything a child can think of out of various materials, and am open to any ideas that they can throw at me. I adapt to any given child's needs, as not all children are the same. I do however enforce rules and guidelines that I feel are needed to have a great time without harming anyone in anyway. I am open to different parenting styles and techniques and will adhere to them with your child. I have experience providing care during weddings, corporate events, family parties, theme parks, and full weekend/overnight care. Ask me about my overnight(24hrs of care) rate! My Calendar is ALWAYS* (*99.1% of the time) up to date, I try my hardest to update it asap whenever something changes. *I do NOT accept bookings that have no message, or information about the booking, or contain the standard message provided by Urbansitter. Please send me a brief message about the day and your child(ren) This is for both of our benefit, so that I know if I will be the best fit for you as well as knowing if I am what you are looking for in the person you want to take care of your child!(: I have a 4 hour minimum, I may accept jobs less than that but I don't always; if I do accept it I do require to be paid for at least 3 hours. Cancelations with less than 72 hours notice have a fee of 50% of booked time. Cancelations with less than 24 hours notice must be paid in full. I budget based on bookings and when a booking is canceled it directly impacts my budget. Thank you for understanding. I am vaccinated, and expect any family that I work with to be vaccinated as well, including all children in my care aged 5 and older.
“Loved Natalia! She was great with my 3 month old, was super friendly and very experienced. Can’t wait to book her again! ”
Hi, I’m Andri! I’ve lived in NYC for 9 years and have over 10 years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve worked with many private families throughout NYC and have experience with both daytime and evening care. I’m kind, caring, dependable, and energetic. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through outdoor activities, games, arts and crafts, reading, and age-appropriate activities. I also enjoy preparing healthy meals and helping families keep their children’s routines organized. Childcare has been a big part of my life since I was 15, and over the years I’ve built strong relationships with the families I work with. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, communicate with, and feel comfortable having in their home. I’m currently looking for occasional, part-time and I’m happy to help with date nights, weekends, evenings, and other childcare needs.
Hi my name is Tamara, I am going to Mandl college to become a Surgical technologist. I work in a daycare for the past 4 years and have worked in UPK as a teachers assistant for 3 years. I love being outdoors, playing sports and I also enjoy reading books. I am CPR and first aid certified. Fully vaccinated and boosted as well.
“Tamara was the perfect help to our move! Her and her friend, Grace made our move so much better and I could not recommend them enough. They moved things into our 5th floor walk up with ease and handled our belongings so nicely. They also organized our uhaul so efficiently and we were so impressed! They were kind, understanding, and SO SO helpful. They were also early to the job both days! I recommend Tamara and Grace for anything you may need. They are the BEST!”

"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."
