Ariana $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Ariana and I’m a responsible and energetic caregiver with years of hands-on experience working with kids in a variety of settings. I’ve spent summers at a relaxed arts and crafts camp for children ages 7–13, leading creative projects, outdoor games, and group activities. I’ve also coached youth soccer for kids ages 3–12, focusing on teamwork, fun, and skill-building. During high school, I worked as a certified lifeguard for four years, which taught me strong safety awareness and emergency readiness — qualities I bring to every caregiving role. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve regularly cared for younger family members and love connecting with kids through creativity, sports, and play. I’m currently finishing my degree at Barnard College of Columbia University, where I’ve continued to nurture my love for learning and teaching. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or just being a calm and supportive presence, I aim to make kids feel safe, seen, and engaged. Above all, I strive to be as helpful as possible to the families I work with. I’m dependable, patient, and always ready to support in whatever way I can.

Stephanie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m 30 years old and have been working in special education for nearly 10 years. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and am a proud San Jose State University alum, go Spartans! Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children and teens ages 4 through 19. I began my career as an ABA therapist for children with autism, which led me to roles supporting various school districts by coordinating services and assisting students with special needs. My experience spans transitional kindergarten through high school, and in my earlier years, I also worked at summer camps and after-school programs. As the oldest of four siblings, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. A little about me is I love to travel and explore new cultures! I’m also CPR and First Aid certified and available on evenings and weekends. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to support your family!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Jasmine and I am offering child care services. I’m patient, trustworthy, reliable, caring, communicative, kind & energetic! Currently working in education and I have been working in schools and with children (toddlers and elementary to high school aged kids) for the past 11 years. Along with babysitting, I am able help out with homework, clean, cook and run any errands. I also grew up playing sports so if you’re kiddo needs any basketball lessons in particular, I would love to help! I am able to interact and engage with children by reading books, watching movies, going outdoors (parks & playgrounds, museums, libraries, or any other activity of your choice), playing games at home, and engaging in more educational activities as well. I require some type of video call before the start date to ensure safety on all ends. I am fully vaccinated and boosted as well. I have no allergies to pets and welcome all furry friends with open arms! I can assure that your children will be safe in my care. Thank you😊

“Jasmine cared for three of our children for three hours and handled three separate pickups smoothly. She was energetic, positive, and an excellent communicator. As a school psychologist, she made me feel confident that she would be capable of handling challenging behavior if it arose. She was a joy to have around, and I will definitely hire her again.”

Mara 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi families! I’m a 30-year-old, reliable, energetic, and experienced sitter transitioning from a corporate career back to grad school for clinical psychology. I have been caring semi-regularly for children since I was 12 years old. I grew up with four siblings—two of whom are 12 years younger than me—and I played an active role in helping raise them. That hands-on experience continued through college and my corporate working life here in NYC with dozens of families (new to UrbanSitter, previously used HelloSitter). It has also recently come full circle as I’ve supported my siblings with their own babies, helping with everything from the sensitive postpartum newborn stage to chasing active toddlers. After several years in the corporate tech world, I’ve left to pursue my master’s degree. This schedule change allows me to return to what I genuinely love: hanging out with kids. I bring the “adult” reliability of a former professional (punctual, communicative, safety-conscious) mixed with the warmth and energy of a seasoned aunt/uncle. I am comfortable with all ages, confident with bedtime routines, and happy to help with homework or light meal prep. Looking forward to meeting your family! Note: I built the majority of my career in journalism, and I love tutoring if any kids need help with their homework or college essays!

“Mara is so wonderful. Very responsive, capable, warm, communicative… and my kids immediately liked her. ”
