Hi, I’m Lucia! Brooklyn has been my home for over a decade, though I’m originally from California. As the eldest of three and the first grandchild among 30 cousins, I’ve been caring for children of all ages for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after wonderful kids, ages 1.5–16, and many families have told me I became their child’s favorite sitter—the highest compliment I could hope for! I love getting to know each child’s unique personality and tailoring activities to what excites them most—whether that’s baking cookies, arts & crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors. My focus is always to keep little ones safe, happy, and engaged. Families describe me as punctual, kind, patient, fun, and fully present. Please feel free to check my references—they’re filled with kind words from families I’ve had the privilege to work with. I would be honored to care for your child and create a nurturing, playful space where they can thrive. I look forward to connecting! Warmly, Lucia
“Lucia was awesome! Super sweet and punctual. We will hire her again!”
Hello there, I am a licensed occupational therapist with over 10 years experience working with children and older adults. I have previously worked in a daycare for four years and have worked privately with two children. I also work as a night nanny supporting moms to take care of their newborns. I love working with children and am very attentive to their needs.
I grew up in a small town in Missouri and attended the University of Missouri-Columbia. I graduated with a degree in Theatre. I am the oldest in my family and took care of my younger brothers, as well as younger cousins, growing up. From age 13 through high school, I babysat for a local family who had six kids all between the ages of 7 and newborn. I taught dance through high school and my first two years of college. I taught 3-5 year olds as well as pre-teens and teenagers. I am happy to help with homework and projects or anything else they may need!
“MK was so lovely and kind. She arrived on time, the kids really enjoyed playing with her and she went above and beyond by even tidying up a bit. Great babysitter, would absolutely hire again!”
Hi! My name is Autumn and I am a Philadelphia native. I moved to New York about 4 years ago and am working full time at an education tech company. Prior to this, I was a first grade teacher in Baltimore for two years. I am passionate about connecting with the youngest learners, love to do crafts, play games, spend time exercising and reading! In addition to caring for children, I am also comfortable doing light house work/cleaning, cooking, and caring for pets.
“Autumn is absolutely amazing! She has babysat our little one for several months now, and is gentle, kind, engaging, dependable, responsible, timely, and communicative. Our LO never wants her to leave :) - highly recommend!”
Hi families, my name is Hermela. I have over 14 years of part-time babysitting and nannying experience. I am looking for occasional and part-time work. I love working with children and helping them grow and learn. I enjoy working on creative crafts and games with kids. I can help with homework or general tutoring, as I have worked as a tutor in the past as well. I am also comfortable with dogs and cats in the house. In my free time I enjoy going on walks and exploring the city, and doing pottery.

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"
Natalie O., mom of five

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
