Booked by 3 families in Kew Gardens, NY

Hi! My name is Sophia and I currently work at an advertising agency. I'm the eldest daughter of 5 kids and so taking care of others at all stages of life has been something I've grown up with. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting for 12 years and nannied for 1 year and have enjoyed every opportunity I get to care for kids. I have experience with a wide range of age groups from infants to 12+ year olds. Families I have previously cared for say that I am kind, attentive, fun, compassionate, responsible, and always with a smile on my face. My responsibilities have included driving/to and from camps and swim lessons, crafts, and cooking. Some of my other skills include household services like cleaning. I was a paid cleaner for a year and in my personal life take pride in having a clean home. I also offer the services of running errands, laundry, and organizing. I have also had opportunities to care for a variety of pets - everything from dogs to cats to lizards to hamsters and more. My experience in pet sitting has involved walking, feeding, and playing with the animals.

Hi! I’m Dana — a NYC-based babysitter who’s new to UrbanSitter, but with over a year of part-time childcare experience for a family here in the city. I currently still work with this family on a salaried basis and am looking to pick up occasional babysitting and part-time work. The family I work with has three children, currently ages 7–12, and I’m comfortable caring for children ages 3 and up. My background also includes teaching summer camp, leading a children’s choir at church, and handling after-school pick-ups and daily routines. I’ve lived in New York City for 8 years and know the city very well. I’m extremely comfortable navigating neighborhoods, transportation, school schedules, and the general pace of city life, which helps me stay calm, organized, and reliable. In addition to childcare, I bring a wide range of professional experience, including working as a MainStage performer for Disney Tokyo and at Trader Joe’s. These roles strengthened my communication skills, dependability, and ability to stay positive, focused, and adaptable in fast-paced environments. I’m upbeat, punctual, and very engaged, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids — whether that’s doing creative activities, supporting routines, or being a steady, caring presence. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children and pride myself on clear, thoughtful communication with parents. I’d love to connect! If you’d like a reference from the family I currently work for, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to share. Please message me with any questions or to set up an interview. I look forward to meeting you and your kids!

Hi Families! I'm Ella, I'm 22 years old, and a recent graduate from the University of Connecticut. I moved to NYC from Charlotte, NC this past August to pursue my career in publishing at Penguin Random House. I used to be a swim coach working with lots of children ranging from ages 3-17 for a summer swim team! I also have plenty of experience providing private and group swim lessons. I have babysat for multiple families and am comfortable running errands, pet sitting/ dog walking, prepping meals, pickups and drop offs and helping with homework for afterschool! I used to be an English major and now work all the time with books and would love to share my love for reading with your kids! I also am very comfortable with dogs and cats! I have two cats and grea up with dogs. I am very responsible and a hard worker. New York is very difficult to afford, I want to babysit or petsit for an additional income. Because I work a 9-5, my hours are limited, but if you have any consistent or inconsistent babysitting needs that aligns with this, please let me know!

Hello! I’m Anna, and I have many experience working with and caring for children of all ages. My passion for childcare began as the oldest sibling in my family and has grown through years of experience caring for children as well as working as a teacher’s assistant. I am patient, dependable, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and creative learning. I’m also happy to help with homework, prepare simple meals, maintain daily routines, and assist with housekeeping. I am a licensed driver with reliable transportation and can assist with school drop-offs, pickups, appointments, and extracurricular activities. I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, allowing me to communicate comfortably with bilingual families. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I provide reliable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind while supporting each child’s growth and development. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can depend on. My schedule is very flexible so don’t be afraid to reach out!!
