Hi there! My name is Katrina. I’ve been the go-to babysitter for my family and friends for many years, caring for children from 5 months to 9 years old since I was a teen. Working with kids has always come naturally to me, and I bring patience, structure, and a genuine love for what I do. I’m currently a Paraprofessional with the NYC Board of Education, in the Williamsburg neighborhood, where I work one-on-one with children in special education, including students with ADHD, autism, developmental delays, and speech disorders. I’ve supported preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade and Pre-K learners in a public school in Williamsburg. This gives me experience in behavior support, sensory needs, communication strategies, and helping children feel safe and understood. With me, your child will enjoy fun, engaging, and purposeful activities such as: • singing songs and movement games • days of the week & months routines • coloring, crafts, and hands-on activities • counting games and early learning skills • music, dancing, and story time • simple baking or kitchen fun (I’m a baking & pastry graduate!) My approach blends fun with structure, keeping children entertained while following their routines and respecting their individual needs. ✨ Availability: pickup, Summer days, occasional weekends, and DOE days off ✨ I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a warm, safe, and joyful experience for your child.
“Katrina has been an amazing sitter to our two kids (and dog!) for many years. She's so sweet, very reliable, engaging and fun with the kids. She's thoughtful and comes up with fun activities, the kids love her and we consider her family. She is bright, warm and tidy.”
Hi- My name is Maya and I am currently a junior at NYU. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have always loved being a babysitter and spending time with kids and have taken care of mostly 4 year olds and older and a 1 year old since being in high school. I also worked as a summer camp counselor for 3 years with loads of different aged children. I also tutored young children in high school and have worked with high school children since being in college. A fun fact about me is I am fluent in French if any children happen to be needing language help. I am mostly looking for childcare opportunities as I absolutely adore looking after children and watching them grow and experience all the energy and joy they have to offer. I am a responsible, attentive, and energetic caretaker, am very patient when need be, and will be able to communicate with children and parents about anything that may come up. I can also work as a household assistant and can run errands, as well as love caring for all sorts of animals and would also be interested in pet care services. *I will be out of town June 19-29 my schedule is very clear and flexible before and after that
Hello! My name is Ava and I have quite a bit of nannying and babysitting experience! I am 22 years old and began seriously nannying when I was 17. However, the real babysitting started when my two little brothers were born and I gained newborn and early childhood experience through them. I have helped numerous families and absolutely love children. I am energetic and uplifting and love to adventure with the children or stick to a successful routine! I live in the East Village area but can commute if needed. I am experienced in all ages, and can do overnight as well!
Hello, I'm Becky, based in Astoria. I'm a former nanny and substitute teacher. I have worked with all ages from newborn up! I'm currently working with Zing Kids! as a recess coach and Afterschool Collective as an art and S.T.E.M. teacher for kindergarten and 1st grade kids in LIC. I have lots of free time to look after your kiddos nights and weekends and days schools are off. I also have a local rate for my Astoria families. Please reach out to discuss!
Hello, I'm Lilly ! At Marymount Manhattan College, I am a junior majoring in Psychology and minoring in Dance. I was born and raised in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where I also worked as a counselor, mentor, and choreographer for children all around the Seacoast. I worked at local youth theater organizations including Upside Arts and Musical Arts where I have taken on some of these roles. I have also been babysitting on and off since I was 15 for adolescents of all ages ranging from 1-6 years old. I would contribute my optimistic and diligent attitude. Ensuring the comfort and safety of my child/children in their surroundings is a top priority for me. In order to make my child/children’s experience memorable, I will use my creativity and leadership abilities to make sure they engage in every activity. I am excited to get started and get to know the children I will be connecting with in the future.

"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."
