Find a last-minute babysitter in New York, NY

Hi there! My name is Kyra, and I am a law student living and studying in Brooklyn after a recent move from Washington DC. I have babysat, tutored, coached swim team/taught swim lessons to kids of all ages, done overnights with kids, and lifeguarded for 10+ years. I have First Aid, Lifeguarding, and CPR/Infant CPR certifications. I love to bake, read, play games, spend time outside, in my free time and with your kiddos. I'm a great cook, and happy to take on light household chores if discussed in advance. Please feel free to reach out with questions or for references!

Hi there! I'm a 40 something-year-old Brooklyn resident, dog owner, and lifelong animal lover looking to care for your pets while you're away. My own rescue dogs have taught me a lot about patience, routine, and reading what an animal needs even when they can't tell you directly — from an anxious wait by the door to a happy tail-wag greeting. I know that handing your pet over to someone else, especially while you're traveling, can bring up a lot of worry: Will they get enough exercise? Will someone notice if something's off? Will I get updates? As a frequent traveler myself, I've been on both sides of that anxiety, and I take it seriously. I'm primarily interested in short-term dog care, with a 2-night minimum preferred — long weekends, extended trips, or overnight stays in your home or mine. I'm comfortable with multiple dogs if they're used to each other, and happy to administer medication as needed. I work with dogs at every life stage. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including the consistency and patience that early training and routine-building require, as well as with senior dogs and end-of-life care, where comfort, gentleness, and close attention to changing needs matter most. Whatever stage your dog is in, I'll approach their care with the same warmth and attentiveness. You can expect me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely attentive — I'll follow your routines, send photo/text updates, and treat your pet with the same care I'd want for my own. If you're looking for someone calm, experienced, and trustworthy to look after your furry family member, I'd love to help.

Hello! I'm Marisol and I live on the Upper West Side in Manhattan and am available in all 5 boroughs. I am 31 years old and have extensive experience with working with children and babysitting. I have worked at a Preschool in Park Slope, Les Petits Bilingues De New York, and babysat for several families in Westchester, NY. I have baby sat for 6 years. I am very creative and believe that playing and engaging with the kids I babysit is very important. I'm not about just putting them in front of a screen and sitting on my phone. I'm big on making sure your kids will have fun and get to bed on time. My brother is on the spectrum so kindness is something I really value and I will be very kind to your kids and encourage them in any way I can. I can cook, clean, and make sure everyone gets to bed at their appropriate bed time. I look forward to working for you and your family:) I also love all animals (I'm randomly allergic to cows..but that shouldn't be a problem in NYC ;) and am great at cleaning.

Hi everyone! My name is Kate, and I am seeking a part-time or full-time nanny position. I grew up in Ridgewood, NJ, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am moving to NYC in the fall to begin my master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Fordham University. I have over 6 years of childcare experience, working with children from 2 weeks to 11 years old. I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, cooking, and finding creative ways to keep kids active and entertained. I’m happy to help with transportation, activities, meals, and more. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to assist with light housekeeping if needed!

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.
