Booked by 1 family in Ozone Park, NY

I'm a 37 year old mostly WFH advertising writer who loves dogs, cats, kids and has plenty of time to hang out with yours! I've pet sat since I was a kid and have always enjoyed helping out owners while getting quality time with a variety of fun pets. I live in Cobble Hill and am very close to several parks and paths where I love to walk. I’ve marked that I'm fine with pets being on the furniture (because who doesn’t love snuggles!) but we’ll enforce any rules you have for consistency.

“Sarah is an absolutely incredible dogsitter! She has watched my shiba inu, Goji, for several years and he is truly obsessed with her. Sarah is kind, responsible, reliable, and highly competent at dog care. We feel lucky to have found Sarah as a sitter and always trust that Goji is in good hands with her.”

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ozone Park, 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. ”

Margot $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Margot and I'm currently a School Counseling Ed.M. student at Teachers College, Columbia University. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with children and have experience as a babysitter, elementary school literacy tutor, camp counselor for special needs children, and recreation assistant at a children's hospital. In all of these roles, I have used my creativity, empathy, and patience to engage children in play and learning, while maintaining a safe environment. I have babysat for both neurotypical and neurodivergent kids, providing flexible care depending on their needs and developmental levels. I am also happy to assist with homework, projects, and other assignments. I love crafts, music, science experiments, and anything that involves being imaginative and having fun. I also can help with household chores and errands, and I am happy to work with families with pets, as I am a big animal lover!
