Hi, I’m Yulma. I’ve been a full-time babysitter for about 10 years, caring for children from newborns to age 13 (part-time and full-time). I’m gentle, patient, trustworthy, and hands-on. I love helping kids grow socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. I keep children engaged and active: we read, play games, do crafts, and get outside. I especially love taking kids to museums and the park, planning playdates, and creating fun routines at home. I’m happy to help with light meal prep, spanish language speaking, baths, and bedtime. I have some college coursework in Early Childhood Education, Kids on the Spectrum training, and Baby & Pediatric First Aid certification. I’m experienced with special needs and provide calm, structured, sensory-friendly care. I can share three strong references from current families. I work across the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and Harlem, and I’m willing to travel further if needed. I will love your children like they’re my own—and keep them learning, laughing, and moving. I look forward to connecting!
“Yulma was very sweet and patient with my little boy, who was especially fussy that morning (probably has a tooth coming in). She wasn't fazed by his grumpiness and stayed positive throughout her time with him, playing, singing, and staying communicative.”
Hello! My name is Bri and I recently moved to NYC from San Francisco. I currently live in the NoHo neighborhood and work remotely full time as a Community Manager. I have been an active nanny all throughout my college years and beyond and really do miss nannying both part time and full time. I do like to babysit occasionally and it gives me the opportunity to explore different parts of this amazing city. During college, I was nannying for a couple different families that were consistent over a long period of time. A few standout experiences were working for a family for 5 months where I worked 37 hours a week in three days watching an adorable 2-year-old boy. My duties included everything from taking him to swim class, feeding him breakfast, lunch and dinner and scheduling fun events to take him to and explore the city! Throughout my college years, I babysat part time between classes for an amazing family of 5 for four years and still to this day, I babysit for them occasionally. My job entailed me to do homework, cook, clean, bedtime routine, drive to after school activities, attend appointments, schedule events, make lunches and over-see playdates for the three kids age ranging from 5 to 11 years old. I have two younger siblings so I have basically been babysitting and interacting with kids my entire life. I have always been known as the babysitter on the block and have loved watching kids. Now the tables have turned and some of my friends are starting to have kids and it’s definitely a fun stage in life. If you feel like I am a perfect fit, please reach out to me through Urbansitter. Thanks so much and I hope to hear from you soon!
“Bri was great! She immediately started interacting with our son and by the time we left he had warmed up to her and was happily eating dinner with her. He had a cough so she gave him cough medicine like we asked and was great when he woke up after going to bed. We’ll definitely hire her again. ”

Hi! I am 21 years old and attend Oberlin College in Ohio where I'm studying psychology. I grew up in Brooklyn Heights and have lived here my whole life, so I am comfortable with public transportation, going to park, and other fun attractions for kids.When home on breaks, I live with my two parents, older brother, younger sister and dog. I have experience sitting for kids ages 1-9; this includes playing with them and getting them dinner together, bathing them and putting them in pjs, and reading books to put them to sleep. Sometimes I would bring my dog because one girl loved to play with him. I am allergic to dogs and cats, but I am able to work with families who have dogs that do not shed. In my free time I love to bake, paint, sew, play frisbee, and take my dog to the park. While my certification has lapsed, I have taken courses in CPR and first aid.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
