Emily $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi, I’m Miss. Emily! I’ve always looked for opportunities to work with children and genuinely enjoy being around them. In my full time role as an urban planner, my work is often structured and fast paced, so I really value the opportunity to spend time in a more playful, engaging environment where I can connect with kids and bring a positive, upbeat energy. I have extensive babysitting experience caring for children from newborns to middle schoolers, including school pick ups, coordinating playdates and extracurricular activities, helping with homework, and managing nap and bedtime routines. I’m primarily looking for occasional or part time babysitting opportunities such as date nights, after school care, or weekend help, and I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of ages and responsibilities. I’m someone kids tend to feel comfortable around pretty quickly. I’m naturally warm and attentive, and I enjoy keeping them engaged through outdoor time, crafts, and reading while adjusting my approach based on their personality. I’ve also stayed involved with children through volunteer work such as summer camps, mentoring, and tutoring, and previously worked part time as a Spanish kindergarten teacher, which gave me hands on classroom experience. I value creating a fun, engaging environment where kids feel comfortable, cared for, and free to be themselves!

Katherine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kate! I am a first-year Masters in Social Work student at NYU living in Brooklyn. I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2021 with a degree in Cognitive Studies and African-American and Diaspora Studies. I’m just getting started on Urban Sitter, so I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve worked with in the past. I have 11 years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages, genders, and personality styles. I have experience with kids with Downs Syndrome, autism, and other special needs. This has included children with aggression and other severe behavioral problems, and I am confident in my abilities to meet these patterns with patience and compassion. I love kids and empowering them to practice autonomy while also being someone they can depend on. I’m looking for part-time babysitting opportunities during weekday evenings and weekends! I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Victoria and I’m a recent college graduate work in banking, but I have always had a passion for working with children. My main goals will always be to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. Over the years, I’ve gained 2-3 years of experience through babysitting for family and friends, as well as volunteering at local elementary schools as well working at a day care for 2 years. I also am a soccer coach for kids ages 5-8! I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy engaging children in creative activities like arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I also understand the importance of following routines, offering emotional support, and ensuring safety at all times. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring and reliable experience for your children or pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can be of help!

Maya $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi- My name is Maya and I am currently a junior at NYU. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have always loved being a babysitter and spending time with kids and have taken care of mostly 4 year olds and older and a 1 year old since being in high school. I also worked as a summer camp counselor for 3 years with loads of different aged children. I also tutored young children in high school and have worked with high school children since being in college. A fun fact about me is I am fluent in French if any children happen to be needing language help. I am mostly looking for childcare opportunities as I absolutely adore looking after children and watching them grow and experience all the energy and joy they have to offer. I am a responsible, attentive, and energetic caretaker, am very patient when need be, and will be able to communicate with children and parents about anything that may come up. I can also work as a household assistant and can run errands, as well as love caring for all sorts of animals and would also be interested in pet care services. *I will be out of town June 19-29 my schedule is very clear and flexible before and after that

I have been babysitting since I was 14years old and love kids! I volunteered in the nursery (ages 1 through 4) at my church all four years of high school. In addition, while in college I nannied for two years. I have continued to babysit post graduation as much as I can! I was an early learners tutor at Kumon and taught swimming to kids ages 2 and up.
