Gabrielle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gabby. I’m 28 - born and raised in NYC. I’ve had a huge passion for childcare since being a teen. Most recently I babysat for 2 gorgeous twins - 1 boy and 1 girl from their ages 5-7, until they moved away in 2024. I built a strong bond with them almost instantly that only got stronger over the 2 years. Since then, I've been doing occasional gigs here and there, but I hope to find more steady work. I’ve had several other jobs related to child care as well as pet care. I’m naturally a very nurturing person, so babysitting especially is something I gravitate towards. It’s also in my blood as I come from a line of teachers! My grandmother was a teacher in her day and my mother is an assistant teacher at an amazing nursery school! Everyday she comes home from work excited to show me new pictures of her babies at school - so sweet. Aside from childcare, I also have a background in art from my father’s side. As much as I love children, I'm currently finishing up a degree in Interior Design at Parsons (all asynchronous classes, so it would not interfere with my schedule). My favorite thing in the world is being able to combine my two passions – childcare and art! I love teaching kids art and introducing them to new medias, even getting technical and teaching perspective such as drawing 3D objects! During my last job with the twins, I introduced them to felting which was very fun. It was so rewarding to see their colorful creations! Overall I’m looking forward to going back to childcare. I know having a connection with a child is not something you can force, so if you think I might be a good match for your child/children, please do not hesitate to contact me! I am also able to look after any animals if needed, I am a huge animal lover and have looked after everything from dogs, to even chickens! Any chores you need done around the house can also get taken care of (permitting there's enough time in the day). Thank you!

Alexandra 3 reviews
$33 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alex. I’m a postpartum doula with 15 years of experience and over a decade supporting families as a birth doula. For the past 4 years, I’ve worked exclusively in overnight newborn care helping parents get real rest while knowing their baby is still being cared for. I support families through every part of the night: from feedings, diaper changes to soothing and upholding family Standards of a healthy routine . I make sure bottles and baby items are clean and ready for the next day, and I step in wherever I’m needed so parents can wake up feeling refreshed.

Alexandra is a dedicated professional who shares a special connection with the children she cares for. As an exceptional babysitter, she takes the time to get to know each child, allowing her to tailor her caregiving approach to suit their individual needs and create a positive environment for everyone. She is experienced in caring for infant and is known for being reliable, punctual, and personable. Parents take great comfort in observing how well she interacts with their kids. These qualities contribute to her high number of referrals and callbacks, highlighting why she is a sought after babysitter.

Booked by 9 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi I am a 23 years old with almost 4 years babysitting/nanny experience, full time and part time. I have a lot of experience with newborn to school-age stages. My schedule is very flexible I can do overtimes or stay in if needed, I'm also open to do weekends. I have a little sister who is 7 years old now I was mainly the one who raised her, that's why every now and then I have personal experience. Hoping that we can do set up an interview. Thank you!

I highly recommend Yhanna as a caregiver. She is extremely professional, prompt and communicative. My 9 year old loved hanging out with her and I'll definitely be using her again. Yhanna is engaging, fun and I had an overall great experience with her. She is also very quick to respond to messages, which is something that I very much appreciated. Thank you Yhanna!

"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."

"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)."
