Hi, my name is Valeria. I speak two lenguajes fluently, Spanish and English, I also have beginner korean and German. I studied at Baruch college with a major in international business and a minor in marketing. I am now doing my master degree however I am currently just doing research therefore I have all freedom when it comes to scheduling. I’ve been working as babysitter since 2018 with UrbanSitter and I’ve been a mentor and tutor for kids starting from preK all the way through 7th grade with some experiences in high school writing tutoring. I truly love to work with kids and pets, having experience with both. I have worked with a big range of ages and more than 15 long term families along the way. In my free time, I love to dance, learn languages, and travel. I would love to become part of your family and for you to become part of mine. I still occasionally work with families I worked for full time years ago.
Hello my name is Sherley I’m 24 years old, a recent graduate from St. Francis College. I'd describe my personality as attentive, compassionate and caring. I started working with kids when I was 14, I started at a day care center and gradually started as a paraprofessional. Currently I work as a Care manager. Working with children allows you to see growth and progress in amazing, measurable ways. While there may be setbacks, you will see the joy on each child's face as they learn new things from you. Working with kids is fun, no single day is the same. Children make you a more knowledgeable person: Children are, by nature, very curious. Working with children reminds you of how amazing and exciting the world can be. My skills include being Patient, understanding and compassionate. I am comfortable with pets. No allergies!
“Sherley arrived on time and was very warm and friendly. She engaged my son in one of his preferred activities and was responsive when we texted to check in. We felt comfortable with her and would be glad to hire her again.”
Hello! My name is Bifei and I also go by Aviva. I am currently a graduate student. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I have little experience with pets; but I LOVE animals and I am willing to learn! I used to work as an assistant teacher at the Goddard School; both in the West Loop location in Chicago and the Maplewood location in New Jersey. I have worked with children in a wide range of age groups. My responsibilities included teaching early education curriculums, managing outdoor play, arts & crafts, and cleaning.
Hello, I’m Halema! I’m attending Hofstra University on a Pre-PT track. I’ve been involved in child care throughout my life. I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years and took part in various environments that required me to take care of children. Such environments would be coaching, tutoring, and volunteering at elementary schools. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and engaging. I’m based in Hempstead during the school year but am from Brooklyn. I can provide references/recommendations of my services. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!
“Halema is fantastic! She was warm and upbeat, professional, and went above and beyond what we asked her to do while caring for our three year-old. Our kiddo had a great time with her and she was communicative with photos and updates. I would definitely recommend her to other families looking for a warm and reliable sitter and will book 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."
