Booked by 1 family in Union City, NJ

Hello!! I live in Midtown East!! I’m a mom. I’m very active! I’ve raised an incredible young woman who is living in England. I have spent years taking care of babies, toddlers, kids, tweens, teens. Being a mom is a hard job but I love it! I love spending time with kids/babies and playing and teaching them. I can email you references from jobs that I had before and after this app if you’d like. Looking forward to meeting your family.

Gaby has been a great addition to our family. Within minutes of meeting our 6 month old, she was sitting on the floor, playing with him. She talks to him throughout the day and keeps him happy and entertained. She's incredibly aware of his needs for sleep, food, and fun. She's also respectful of my wishes for caring for him. Gaby is also a tremendous help around the house, helping with keeping our counters, tabletops, and floors clean! She's easy to communicate with and flexible with start times. She's always on time and very dependable. So happy we have her!

Booked by 4 families in Union City, NJ

Hi, I’m Brianna and I am a preschool teacher in the Manhattan area offering occasional nannying services for toddlers/pre-K children, housework, and pet care. I’ve been teaching preschool for four years, but have had a lifetime of experience taking care of my younger siblings and cousins. I have a great passion for early childhood education and I love working with little ones. I can help with homework for younger children, housework, and any pets! (I have two dogs and a fish of my own). I love doing arts and crafts activities as well and would always love to spend an afternoon introducing children to different creative outlets! I have experience taking children on day trips, on public transport, navigating the city, and eating in public. I also have potty training experience as well and can help with that transition if needed. I’m a dedicated caregiver who wants to be an extra hand to families who need one every now and then!

Brianna was really professional and was so good at engaging with and interacting with my kid. They were respectful, knowledgeable and warm. Would absolutely hire again.

Booked by 2 families in Union City, NJ

Hi there. My name is Galia. I am a patient, empathetic and energetic caregiver, offering child care, pet care and home sitting services. I am a copywriter currently looking for work, and happy to help families in the mean time. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15. But most of my experience is from the 3 years I spent as a part-time babysitter during my time at the University of Florida. I was also an after school care teacher for groups of 15+ children of all ages, for 1 year. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter on and off since 2019. These roles often involved helping children complete homework, bed time, play time, making lunch and school pick ups and drop offs. Additionally, I love cats, and I grew up with dogs, so I am more than capable of caring for them both. Plus, I speak Spanish.

Hi! I'm Flor I’m originally from Argentina 🇦🇷 and I have around 10 years of childcare experience through nannying, tutoring, teaching, and working as an au pair. For the past 2 years, I’ve worked long-term with a wonderful NYC family, supporting their daughter from ages 10–12 as her needs evolved over time. My responsibilities included school pick-ups/drop-offs, taking her to activities, meal prep, laundry, helping maintain routines and organization, creating engaging activities, and providing a warm, dependable, and supportive environment overall. I also helped care for the family dog. In addition to nannying, I have a strong educational background and over 4 years of experience tutoring and teaching English to elementary-aged children. I’ve worked with kids ranging from preschool age to pre-teens, helping with homework, reading, writing, Spanish exposure, creative learning, emotional support, and building healthy routines through a balance of structure, patience, and fun. I’m active, warm, reliable, organized, adaptable, and genuinely love working with children. I enjoy arts & crafts, outdoor activities, sports (especially soccer!), board games, reading, and creating meaningful connections with the kids and families I work with. I’m currently available for summer and long-term positions, and I’m open to nanny, family assistant, and educational support roles. Excellent references are available upon request

Flor is one of a kind, an absolute gem! We hired her to be our nanny, but she turned out to be so much more. She was an amazing teacher, role model, care taker, and most importantly she became an amazing part of our family. My daughter blossomed so much under Flor’s care. Flor’s many talents accelerated my daughter’s reading, writing, math and social skills (manners too!). Flor has an incredible capacity for patience and connection with the little ones and even us grown folk as well:) We entrusted Flor to care for our daughter not only on the day to day but also for overnight stays. The only concern we ever had was upon our return if our little girl was going to eat our cooking again, because Flor’s is out of this world. She is also incredibly trust worthy. We gave her the “keys to the castle” and she never spent a penny that wasn’t pertinent to the position You will never find anyone better than Flor. If you want the best for your child, then look no further.

Abigail 1 review

Hi, My name is Abigail, and I’m currently looking for part-time, full-time, or occasional childcare, pet care, senior care, and house care work in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens! I currently live in the Carnegie Hill area, so families near this area would be a bonus! About me- Childcare: I have years of experience caring for children of all different ages! I have the most experience caring for children 10 and under, but am happy to care for children of any age 🙂. I have a large family and have always been the designated babysitter, but outside of my family, I have cared for families with children of all different ages. I believe strongly in supporting children’s development, both logically, creatively, and emotionally. Through my care, I prioritize keeping your children safe, following any family guidelines/specifics for care, and supporting your children in growing into their truest, happiest selves. I recently graduated with my degrees in environmental studies and theatre performance, and studying psychology and child development has always been a passion of mine. Since I was very little I have always wanted to be a mom, so while I am still young I have been building my toolkit to be the best mom I can be, and in the meantime, the best babysitter I can be. Senior care: I have always valued caring for seniors and providing a comforting and kind presence to be around. Near the end of my nanas life, I was one of her primary caretakers, and I ensured that her last little while here was nothing short of magical. Pet care: I've had dogs and cats in my household ever since I can remember, and have cared for rabbits, snakes, and fish outside of my own household. I love animals of all kinds and believe that they all deserve proper care, attention, love, and training.

We’ve known Abigail for about 5 years now and she has been such a reliable, lovely, caring caretaker to our girls and our Dalmatian. We trust her but most importantly, our daughters (and dog!) absolutely adore her. She has a bit of magic about her that children love and she would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s family.

"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

"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)."
