Hi! My name is Hanna, and I’ve always had a passion for working with children and I hope to be an elementary school social worker one day. I’m currently a college student studying Forensic Psychology at John Jay College, and I’ve spent the past few years supporting kids in both classroom and program settings. I’ve worked one-on-one with first graders, led small group activities in after-school programs, and even helped coordinate summer activities for children with autism and learning differences. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring a lot of patience, energy, and creativity to every job. I’ve also taken care of toddlers in the past and love helping little ones learn, play, and feel safe. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or simply keeping things calm and fun at home, I’m here to support your family however I can!
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. ”
Hello, my name is Giulia . I’m a senior in high school soon to be graduating. I’m 18 years old. I have a lot of experience with younger children. I have two little siblings of my own seven and nine who I’ve helped raise and plenty of little baby cousins that I always help babysit. I’m great with kids kids love me. I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can clean cook run errands take them to the park, do fun activities with them and help with homework. I’ll make them healthy and delicious meals and you won’t have to worry about them when they’re with me. I know my age, might look a little young, but I come from an Albanian household, which is huge by the way, and I’ve been taking care of kids since I was a kid myself. I’m looking forward to watching your kids while you parents get your work done or have a very well deserved night out! If you have any questions, please let me know. I’ll be willing to answer anything nothing is too personal!<3
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!).”
Hiii ✨ My name is Mina, and I’m a 21-year-old caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. I’m a former preschool teacher and currently working toward becoming a Behavior Technician (RBT), where I’m learning new skills to support children’s growth, communication, and overall development. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while also encouraging learning through everyday activities. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in play, or supporting emotional needs, I always aim to make children feel comfortable and cared for. As for my availability, I’m available in the mornings Monday through Friday, and I’m fully available all day on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, thoughtful care! —>> 🐾 Client & Safety Policy First-Time Walks: For large, shy, reactive, or nervous dogs, a meet-and-greet with the owner present is required before solo walks begin. Leash & Handling Policy: If a dog cannot be safely leashed or shows defensive behavior (growling, snapping, lunging, repeated close-proximity barking), I reserve the right to cancel the session for safety reasons. The full session rate will still apply, as the time slot and travel have been reserved. Health & Behavioral Disclosure: Clients must disclose if a dog is in heat, has a history of leash resistance, or has shown defensive behavior toward new handlers. Undisclosed conditions that prevent safe handling may result in cancellation with full charge. I am fully background-checked, patient, reliable, nurturing, and very accommodating to each family’s needs. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can feel comfortable, supported, and happy. If you live a distance away and need urgent care, I kindly ask that transportation be covered via Lyft or Uber. I do have mild cat allergies, but I don’t mind being around pets — I may just be sneezing a bit! 😅 Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or would like to get to know me better. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help care for your little ones!

"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."
