Hello! My name is Evelyn. I’m 27 years old and a caring, reliable, and professional babysitter with over six years of experience working with children. I am currently pursuing my MBA at Baruch College in New York after earning my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology. My studies gave me a deeper understanding of child development, family dynamics, communication, and social behavior, which helps me better understand each child’s unique needs and build positive relationships with both children and parents. After attending college and working with children for three years, I proudly served four years in the U.S. Army, where I strengthened my leadership, responsibility, patience, and organizational skills. My military experience helped me become calm under pressure, dependable, and adaptable, qualities that I bring to every family I work with. Caring for children has always been my passion, and I love creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment through play, learning, and positive interaction. In my free time, I enjoy working out, reading, cooking, and staying organized. Spanish is my first language, and I’m happy to speak Spanish with children if parents would like to introduce or reinforce the language at home. I’m proud to have many wonderful reviews and repeat families. References are available upon request.

Evelyn was so nice and sweet with our baby :)

Hi, I'm April! I'm 26 years old, born and raised in Brooklyn, and currently living in the Bronx. I've been working with children for over 9 years, and caring for kids has always been something I truly enjoy. I'm patient, well-organized, and love creating fun, engaging experiences while still maintaining structure and safety.

I'm currently learning Spanish as well. Whether its helping with daily routines, coming up with creative activities , or just being a trusted and responsible caregiver, I put genuine care and effort into everything I do. My rates are negotiable!

April was punctual and kept my daughter safe and happy which is what we needed. My daughter said “I liked her!” We would gladly hire April again given the opportunity. Thanks!

Hi Beautiful People, My name is Youmie. I am an entrepreneur and confidence builder living in NYC. I have been a nanny/sitter for over 15 years. I absolutely love kids! I love calm and cool kids, but I especially love kids who are sassy, expressive, and full of personality. I love making kids feel seen, heard, and understood, so I am very patient. When caring for a child, I love to give them attention and keep them stimulated, but I am also very disciplined, so I strive to provide a balance. I also have extensive experience as a night nanny for newborns. My background is in education and dance. I went to school to be a teacher. I speak 4 languages fluently. I love reading trilogies, I love being outdoors and discovering new things to do, and I love food. I also love educating and introducing children to new languages, cultures, art, and fun! I think it's very important to help children build confidence in who they are, starting very young. It helps a lot with self-esteem, bullying, and thinking for themselves. That's a personal passion of mine that I often teach each child in my care. I adore an inquisitive child. Affirmations are a daily thing with me if your child is with me. I have extensive experience with one child as well as multiples, especially twins. So I'm not afraid of working with multiple children. I also love working with new parents dealing with postpartum. I offer overnights, as well as getaways. In addition to being a nanny, I have experience in caretaking for adults and seniors. I love keeping seniors company. My recent caretaking job was close to home. My uncle had a stroke, and I helped aid him back to health. I love walking, conversing, exploring the city, and learning from seniors. I would be happy to help and support your family. I believe in the idea that it takes a village, and I'd love to help you out if you'll have me. I welcome any questions. If you're interested, please send me a note. Happy hunting! I hope you find someone amazing for your family.

Wonderful! My children loved her. She is very fun and personable but professional and very reliable.

Hello, my name is Solanje and I'm a mother of a 3-year-old little girl, so I know what's it's like to be responsible, patient,loving, and caring. I have a huge family with kids and I’m always the person who babysits. Before I became a mother I was always babysitting my boy cousins for 2 years since they were babies until grade school age. I would also would watch my niece when my big sister would go out or if she needed help. I watched my niece since she was a new born baby till now she’s currently 5 years old. My older brother recently had a baby boy in April, my baby nephew turned 8 months December 6th. I also watched my adorable nephew occasionally since he was born till now. I truly enjoy watching babies they are too adorable and precious. I would change diapers, following sleep schedule and soothing them to sleep, take walks out while the baby are in the stroller to get fresh air,make their milk and feed it to them,wash the bottles,bathing, feeding baby food when the babies reached 6 months, tummy time,read books, sing songs,and lots of play time. Some activities I do with children would be going the park to play🪁,bubbles🫧,dance parties,hopscotch,make slime,stacking blocks, teaching sign language, pretend play with dolls and cars,story time📚,sensory bins, soccer ⚽️, puzzles🧩,puppet shows,arts and crafts like finger painting🎨, scavenger hunt games,balloon volleyball and more. I maintained a safe,structured, and stimulating environment for daily routines such as cognitive and emotional development through play-based activities.I communicated regularly with parents sending pictures giving updates on how the baby was doing. I'm confident,loving, and very reliable, I will treat your kids like I treat mine with love and patience and I'm lots a fun. I love to cook, especially baking sweets from scratch on special occasions for my daughter since I personally like to know what’s in the food I make for her. I always try to add something nutritious in her food and sweets like mini pumpkin pies I made last thanksgiving for her I didn’t use sugar I used organic maple syrup to add sweetness and she loved it. If you have pets that's great because I have a puppy and her name is Snow she a Bichon. I attend at Hostos College. My major is licensed practical nurse and my passion is working with kids. I’m open to being a long term babysitter/nanny or just an occasional babysitter. My schedule is flexible! Feel free to reach out🫶🏽

Solanje is very experienced with children and we had a great experience. Will definitely book Solanje in the future.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
