Hi! I’m a dedicated childcare provider who just moved back to New York after spending the last four years teaching early learners (ages 3–6) in Krakow, Poland. I absolutely love working with kids and bring a lot of patience, creativity, and calm energy to my time with them. I’m also currently earning my master’s in education through the University of Glasgow. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and cozy environment where your child feels happy and supported. I’m always happy to help however I can — can’t wait to meet your family!
“*updating as of 1/13/26: we have continued to use Danielle regularly since we first met her and are BEYOND delighted to have found her. She is amazing with our son, he is SO excited to see her, and she's super reliable - you would be lucky to have Danielle watch your children! :) They go to the park, she prepares his meals, and I really appreciate that she plays with him / is on "his level" the entire time - they have a blast and he is genuinely excited for his "friend" to come over and play. 10/10 recommend! I am delighted to recommend Danielle as a reliable, responsible, warm and dedicated caregiver! I connected with Danielle through Urban Sitter and she was super responsive / warm / organized in our initial correspondence - I then spoke with a mom in Poland who Danielle had worked for in the past who spent 30 minutes on the phone with me and could not recommend Danielle highly enough (she had cared for 3 of her sons) - we met Danielle in person last Friday and spent a few hours watching our 1.5 year old and he had the BEST time. Danielle was super calm, loving, play-oriented and very responsive to all of our directions / instructions. She took him out for a walk, prepared his dinner, and gave him lots of attention / love / play - he was in GREAT spirits when we came home. We have decided to hire Danielle on a recurring basis to watch our toddler at least 1-2 times per week. I definitely recommend hiring Danielle and we can't wait to work with her again (and feel so lucky to have found her!).”

Hi everyone- My name is Eleni and I’m a recent graduate from Syracuse University. I am offering childcare, household services, and dog care. I’ve been babysitting children 2 years old to 15 years old for over two years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects) crafts, and helped with Spanish lessons. This last year while working my full time job I’ve assisted two families on the weekends during date night, or in the evenings on weekdays. However, I am actively looking to start a new position so please reach out! I have also dog-sited and house-sited before. 😊 •I can provide references! Please note the following: I am more than happy to complete a job that pays below my usual rate(s) if i apply for it.
“Eleni helped us out with last-minute backup care for a few hours and was wonderful with our girls (2&4yo) who adored her. She was warm, engaged, responsible, and professional. She arrived early, was reliable, enthusiastic and helped clean up after they ate. We’d happily have her back!”

Hello!! I have 12 years of childcare experience with 4 of those years spent as a full-time nanny and 1 of them as a house/nanny-manager. I have experience with children ages 3 months-13 years. I prioritize safety and love to be a hands on caretaker. My favorite activities with children include reading, arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, teaching dance (I'm a dance teacher!), and encouraging creativity through fun, engaging activities. I also have experience with household management, including running errands, meal prep and cooking, laundry, light housekeeping, dog walking, and home organization. I also have experience with morning roles in getting kids ready for school/daycare in addition to transport before and after school/camps. I am recently Red Cross CPR certified. I currently work at Paul Taylor Dance Company in the education sector. I have a bachelors degree in marketing from the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business. In my free time, I love to take dance classes, create art, play with my cat, thrift, and spend time exploring the city!

Hi! I’m a responsible 19-year-old sitter in the Bronx with 4 years of babysitting experience. I’ve cared for children of various ages and am comfortable managing multiple kids while keeping things organized, safe, and fun. I can assist with meal prep, light household chores, and homework help — especially in ELA and Social Studies. I enjoy helping kids build confidence in reading, writing, and understanding what they’re learning. Beyond that I have plenty experience with both cats and dogs. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on creating a positive and supportive environment for your family. Everyone needs a break sometimes and I hope to be able to provide that for you!
“Zoe was a delight! She is so caring, polite, reliable, punctual and communicative while she cared for my son. My son loved her!! I Would definetely book again. ”

I’m responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and always make sure those in my care feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I’m organized, compassionate, and adaptable to different needs and routines. I take pride in being someone families can rely on and trust.
