Hello there! I’m Lily, and I am experienced with children of all ages. I graduated with a MA in psychology from the New School for Social Research. Prior to being a childcare provider, I worked at a nonprofit that served high-risk adolescents. It made me very attuned to detail and comfortable in fast-paced, high stress environments—qualities that I believe will come in handy when caring for children. I babysat for years in NYC and SF through college and grad school. I have recently returned to UrbanSitter for occasional evening / nighttime work. CANCELLATION POLICY As compensation for lost time due to last minute cancellations, I expect 50% of the original booking amount for cancellations with less than 48 hours notice and the full amount for same day cancellations. Payable via Venmo or Zelle.
“Very professional, would totally recommend!”

“Maria did a great job with our 3-year old daughter. She was very professional, caring, punctual, and our daughter really liked her. We look forward to seeing her again.”
I grew up in a large Haitian family so I've been babysitting for as long as I can remember. When my studies brought me to Hamilton College, I continued to babysit for professors and administrators alike. There I pursued an interdisciplinary major in Genetics & Social Justice with a focus on reproductive health. As part of my major, I got the opportunity to study maternal and child health in the U.S., Vietnam, South Africa, and Argentina. Living and learning in such different environments exposed me to children of all ages and backgrounds and taught me that in the absence of a shared spoken language, games are a universal language that can create a genuine connection with children all over the world. For the past 8 years, I've worked as a private tutor with elementary school-aged children and provided academic support in a variety of subjects. In addition to this, I provide semi-regular and occasional childcare services. If you'd like to book me, send me a message and I'll respond as soon as possible. Policies 1. I require a minimum of 48 hours notice if you’d like to cancel or reschedule a booking. Otherwise, I expect 50% of the payment for the booking. 2. I request a car service home for bookings ending after 8 pm. 3. I am willing to care for sick children as long as they’re not contagious, but please notify me in advance so I can plan accordingly. 4. I expect payment for the full booking even if you return home early. 5. My booking minimum is 3 hours. 6. My pricing for babysitting and private tutoring are distinct. Feel free to inquire, however, if you're interested in my pricing for tutoring services. Best wishes, Joany
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. ”

"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."
