Booked by 6 families in Astoria, NY

Hello - my name is Jas! Currently I’m looking for some part time work, and I have availability for 1-2 evenings a week or weekend. I got into babysitting at a young age for kids in my neighborhood. As I got older I expanded into other parts of childcare as well! Some of my experience includes volunteering at my local children’s center as an after school aide, working and hosting birthday parties at my previous job, being a camp counselor every summer for years, and being a nanny for the past 4 years. I've been working with kids for almost 7 years now, and before the pandemic I was a part time crafts teacher at an after school program. I was in charge of a class of 10-15 kids for a few hours every week doing small projects together. All in all I adore my time with kids and I’m not afraid to get down on the ground and play with or engage your child when it comes down to it. I am very motivated to help children be happy, healthy, and well behaved. I am very interested in helping you with your child and I am really flexible with scheduling. I have previous caregiving experience in dropping off/picking up children, helping them with homework, doing crafts, preparing simple meals, doing indoor/outdoor activities, reading, bedtime routines, etc. If you have a pet I don’t mind! I am not allergic to cats or dogs so I am all good on that front. I look forward to hearing from you!

Great with our dog!

Booked by 6 families in Astoria, NY

Hi everyone - My name is Yoselin, and I’m a student at Queens College. I’m offering childcare, dog care, and cleaning services. I’ve been babysitting children aged 6 months to 12 years old for over three years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects), crafts, and even given dance lessons because, as a fun fact, I’m a collegiate dancer with training in various genres. This last year I’ve had the pleasure of working with two families. Both under the age of two. However, I am actively looking to start a new position so please feel free to reach out. I’ve also dog-sited and house-sited before 😊 • I can provide references ! Please note the following: To ensure my own safety, I require a uber or taxi back home for jobs that finish after 10 PM. I’m more than happy to complete a job that pays below my usual rate(s) if I apply for it.

Yoseline was wonderful with our baby! She was warm, attentive, and dependable, and we felt completely comfortable leaving our little one in her care. We’d happily recommend her to other families looking for a caring and trustworthy babysitter.

Booked by 11 families in Astoria, NY

Hi! I’m Mia, a student at Hunter College in NYC. I have experience helping families with childcare, school pickups, homework support, meal preparation, and household responsibilities. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and creating a positive environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. Whether it’s reading together, helping with homework, spending time outdoors, or simply being part of their daily routine, I always aim to make each day enjoyable and productive. I’m dependable, patient, and adaptable, and I understand that every family has different needs and routines. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with pet care, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, and organization. I value being someone families can depend on and enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents through consistency, kindness, and open communication.

Last minute I went to dinner with friends and Mia watched my 8 year old. She was awesome!

"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)."
