Hi! Thank you for taking a look at my profile! I graduated from NYU with my bachelor’s in Biology on the premed track. I now currently work as a research technician at MSK. I’m pretty new to this app, however I’ve had several years of experience caring for my younger sister along with other family members. I’m mostly open to part time/date night positions. I’m also available for tutoring and homework help particularly in the areas of math and science. If you think we’d be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Booked by 1 family in Woodside, NY

Hi, my name is Andrea and I am new to UrbanSitter! I am a respectful, compassionate, and reliable individual with four years of experience working with children of various ages. As a certified nursing assistant, I have had the privilege of working with children in both acute care and home care settings, which has strengthened my skills in providing attentive and nurturing care. Currently, I am pursuing my nursing degree at NYU, where I am preparing to specialize in pediatrics—a field I am deeply passionate about. I genuinely enjoy working with children and strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to thrive. It would be a pleasure to support your family and provide exceptional care for your little ones. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can help!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Woodside, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Maren, I am a recent graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design where I received my MFA in illustration. Now I’ve relocated to Brooklyn with my fiance, and am starting a new chapter of life! I love kids, I taught dance to 15 elementary students for four years in high school, have two rambunctious cousins (7,11) at home who I take care of when I see them and grew up sitting from the age of 12. I love to bring activities, play, and just hear the crazy things kids say. I am a fantastic cook and quite the voice actor when it comes to picture books. Can’t wait to meet you!

Sharice $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! - My name is Sharice, most call me Sha, and I'm currently a sophomore at the School of Visual Arts. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for kids since I was 10 years old! Most of my experience has come from babysitting younger family members as I grew up in a big family and am the 4th oldest of 14 cousins! My responsibilities have included crafts, entertainment, pick-up and drop-off, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own 95 year-old grandma and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook and do many other tasks. Though I was raised in a pet-allergic household, I have been blessed without the allergy and am in love with furry friends!
