Hi! My name is Linsey and I’m currently 21 years old! I moved to NYC from Los Angeles at the beginning of August, and I’m super excited to be here! I’ve been babysitting a lot more consistently after graduating high school to become more financially independent, and since then have made many incredible relationships with children I’ve sat for! I’ve been babysitting since 13 or 14 years old helping out my older sister take care of her two children. I cultivated a love for taking care of children and started to continue doing it outside of my family with family friends. I have taken care of ages 6 months to pre-teens. My goal with children is to just have fun and be creative, and encourage them to be themselves—I have a gentle but assertive approach with kids but very willing to adapt to your preferred approach! My responsibilities I’ve taken on have been getting a child ready for school, driving kids, taking them to their afterschool activities, feeding them dinner, taking them to the park/swimming pool etc, organizing their rooms, among other things. I love cats and dogs so pets aren’t an issue at all, they’re welcomed! I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life—especially cats—and I absolutely adore them. I have lots of experience changing a litter box, feeding pets, taking them for walks, playing with them, etc. Also certified in CPR!
“Would definitely recommend Linsey! She was very professional, and my daughter liked her a lot”
My name is Emily! I work at an art gallery in Chelsea and am looking to take a part time babysitting gig in the mornings or late afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 14 and worked as a youth dance teacher for 6 years. I'm comfortable with kids of all ages including infants and have worked with families with as many as 5 kids under 12! My responsibilities have included school drop off/pick up, making meals, helping with homework, and coming up with activities to keep everyone entertained and happy. I love animals of all kind and am happy to assist with any housework.
Hi there! I’m excited to share a bit about myself. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, rooted in my upbringing in a large Mexican family. As the oldest cousin on both sides, I've been surrounded by kids my whole life. My mom is one of seven, which means I have 25 cousins on her side alone, plus 8 more on my dad’s side! Growing up in this vibrant family environment instilled in me a deep love for caring for children. From babysitting my younger cousins to organizing fun activities, I’ve learned how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and fun atmosphere, and I strive to create that in every interaction. I’m passionate about fostering creativity, encouraging curiosity, and making lasting memories. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family!
I have over 5 years of experience in preschool, after school settings with children varying from 2 to 17 years old. In home settings, I have provided childcare for more than 30 families with various needs from the ages of 9 months to 10 years old. Responsibilities included gentle wake ups or lengthy bedtime routines, preparing meals, travels to and from school or extra curricular activities, and more! I am also more than happy to assist with household chores and pet care! I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs.
“Nadhira is the kind of person kids naturally light up around. She’s been caring for my son since he was three—he’s eleven now—and his reaction to her has never changed. She’s kind, responsible, and genuinely attentive to what a child needs in the moment. Peace of mind matters to me, and I feel completely at ease when Nadhira is caring for my son.”
Hello! My name is Sophie and I’m currently living in Brooklyn. I am looking to become a babysitter for some lovely families in NYC. I have over 10 years of combined child work experience, as well as petsitting of all kinds of animals. I was a regular babysitter during middle & high school, with kids ranging from a few months old to 12 years old. My college & post grad experience with children includes substitute teaching, summer camp counseling, and more. I am comfortable with children of all ages and get along with them excellently. I love to take the time to truly get to know the children and take interest in their passions. Additionally, I am comfortable picking children up from/dropping off at events or school, running errands, taking them exploring, cooking dinner, cleaning, and more. I also am able to petsit for all kinds of animals in your household. I would love to watch your children while you work late, go out for date night, or just take a break! I am new to this site, but my child work experience goes back years and I am a very skilled caretaker. Take a chance on me!

"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."
