Hi! Long time babysitter and dog sitter. Used to work as a princess entertainer for children birthday parties. I love to sing, dance, and read. I also used to work at Camp Bow Wow taking care of dogs of all sizes
Hi! My name is Sophie! Born and raised in Philadelphia and I just graduated from Boston University! I moved to the city to become an actor. I have a passion for youth education and I grew up the oldest of 17 younger cousins and spent my summers as a camp counselor at French Woods and Interlochen Arts Camp. I love babysitting and have been doing it since I was 17!
Hi families! My name is Ana, and I’m a warm, caring, and dependable childcare provider based in NYC! I have 4 years of experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I genuinely love spending time with kids and being part of their everyday routines. :) I’ve completed a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, and I’m also CPR & First Aid certified, Infant Qualified (IQ), and have completed childcare training courses. I love keeping kids happy and engaged through play, arts & crafts, playgrounds, libraries, museums, the zoo, and playdates! I believe children learn so much through exploring, having fun, and trying new things. I’m patient, organized, and reliable, and I’m happy to help with children’s meals, laundry, play areas, and other related tasks. Most importantly, I want every child to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve worked with upon request. I’m excited to meet your family! ☺️
“Consistent, caring, trustworthy - Ana worked with my son for 5 months. She showed up on time always with a smile. My son loved her. She’d take him to the zoo, aquarium, picnics in the park, etc. as well as cook nice meals for him. You’re lucky to have her”
Hi - I’m Arionna! I’m a lawyer living in NYC. I am offering child care services, and am happy to take care of pets as well! In addition to my law degree, have an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Human and Social Development. I have been babysitting off and on since I was in high school and so I am comfortable balancing having fun and keeping kids engaged with making sure that parents’ instructions and schedules are followed. I’m happy to help with playtime and activities, homework, meals, bedtime routines, or simply keeping kids entertained while you’re away.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
