Creative, reliable, patient, and understanding. I have 15+ years experience working with children of all ages. As the oldest of 15 cousins, I began babysitting early and have always loved working with kids. I spent six summers as both a counselor and Arts + Crafts Department Head at an overnight camp in New Hampshire for kids ages 8-18, and earned degrees in Elementary and Special Education from the University of Vermont. I will always treat your little ones with respect and am comfortable navigating big emotions or challenging behaviors with a cool head and a positive outlook. I love finding fun and creative ways to make mundane tasks exciting, and love learning about children's interests and personalities to help them grow into their truest selves. I can support caregiving, learning, extracurriculars, household chores... I'm happy to jump in and help make your day-to-day a little easier! I have some experience with pets (mostly cats + dogs) and while I have less experience with senior care, I am confident that I have the right demeanor and skillset to provide those services if needed. A bit more about me: I enjoy cooking, live music, art, and exploring the city as a recent transplant from Quincy, MA. I spent the past six years working for a 3D Printing startup based in Boston where I lead Workplace Experience and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion efforts. My partner's career has recently brought us to NYC, a move I have been wanting to make for quite some time now. I visited the city frequently before our move and have a large network of friends living here, so while I am a new resident I have spent substantial time here and am comfortable with basic safety and transportation routes. If I seem like a good fit for your family's needs, please reach out to chat!
Hi my name is Alyssa I'm currently a student at Hunter college looking for a way to gain more experience with kids as I am juggling between possible careers of an elementary school teacher or a small animal vet. I offer child care preferable toddler age to elementary school age. I enjoy babysitting kids I love to think of it as hanging out with them rather than being bossy. During the summer I work as a camp counselor, for 2 years I babysat a 5 year old girl afterschool, and I worked with a toddler for occasional weekends. I am familiar with traveling with children to any activities but I cannot drive as yet. I enjoy cartoons, being outside, drawing and painting. I love to think of myself as a fun and loving person. I am pet friendly as I do have two cats and hopefully a dog in the future. A secret plus if you do have a dog, I would love to walk your dog its enjoyable to me.
Hi! Long time babysitter and dog sitter. Used to work as a princess entertainer for children birthday parties. I love to sing, dance, and read. I also used to work at Camp Bow Wow taking care of dogs of all sizes
Hi! My name is Yaritza, and I’m currently a sophomore at NYU. I’ve had hands-on childcare experience since I was 14, caring for my nieces, which helped me develop a genuine love for working with children. I’m comfortable picking children up from daycare or school, assisting with homework, and engaging them in fun and age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning and running errands when needed.
Hi! My name is Chloe, and I’m an incoming medical student with a passion for working with children. I currently work at a fertility clinic and am looking for part-time opportunities before starting medical school this August. I’m Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and have experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also been tutoring for many years and am happy to help with homework, studying, and academic support. In addition, I previously worked at a museum of science, where I taught science concepts to children ages 5 and under! I love to cook and am completely comfortable preparing meals, whether it’s simple snacks or full dinners. (Bonus! I played college lacrosse and have coached on the side and if any of your kids are interested in lacrosse, I would be happy to play with them and coach!) I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to connect and help care for your little ones!

"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."
