Booked by 1 family in East Rockaway, NY

Hello, my name is Denise! I am 27 years old, a proud mom to a wonderful 7-year-old, and a dedicated childcare professional with a true passion for working with children. I am currently offering babysitting services and additional family support during my free time. I work full-time as a Pre-K teacher and have over four years of experience teaching toddlers. In addition, I have cared for children ranging in age from 5 months to 14 years old. My professional background has given me the skills to create a safe, nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children can learn and thrive. I earned my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Borough of Manhattan Community College, and I will begin pursuing my Master’s Degree in May 2027 in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am committed to continuing my education so I can provide the best care and support possible for children and families. I am a very active, enthusiastic, and energetic person who can easily match the energy of your child while keeping them engaged in positive activities. I enjoy reading books, making arts & crafts, playing board games, practicing flashcards, and going to the park (with parent permission). I believe childcare should be both fun and enriching. I am fully vaccinated, dependable, and happy to provide references upon request. Please don’t hesitate to send me a message with any questions I would be more than happy to speak with you. Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hello families, my name is Lesly, im 27 years old, I’m from Venezuela, living in New York. I'm an experienced childcare provider with a passion for supporting families and providing a reliable care option. I am patient, and creative, that allows me to engage with children in imaginative play and educational activities. I believe open communication is key, so I regularly update parents about their child's day via their preferred method. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while prioritizing the parents' approach. My 2 years of experience as an aupair have equipped me to handle up to two children aged 2-14. Besides that, I’ve been babysitting toddlers, and kids since I was 16 years old. I have a college degree in modern languages and First Aid certified. I'm also bilingual in English and Spanish. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and make crafts with children, I’m also comfortable with pets.

Julia 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Julia and I am an experienced childcare provider with a strong background in early childhood care, special-needs support and creating structured, engaging routines for children. I have worked with infants, toddlers, school-age children and non-verbal children through my DSP experience, and I am confident adapting to each child’s individual needs. I approach childcare with a calm, nurturing and safety-focused mindset. I’m attentive, patient and extremely reliable — the type of caregiver who communicates clearly, arrives early and maintains a stable environment where children feel secure. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, sensory play, crafts and simple educational games that keep children engaged in a positive way. I respect each family’s home, routines and parenting style. My focus is always on the child’s wellbeing, consistency, and comfort. During my shifts, I’m happy to tidy up activities or meals related to the children so everything stays organized and smooth for parents. I am based in NYC, flexible with scheduling and comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, playtime, naptime, and bedtime. I would love the opportunity to support a family that values communication, consistency and genuine care.

“My wife and I hire Julia for our date nights and she has been amazing with our 2Yr old. She has a calm, patient way with him that puts us at ease as soon as we walk out the door. He’s very active and curious, but Julia always keeps him safe, engaged and on his routine. She handles everything — dinner, bath time and bedtime without any issues and we always come home to a peaceful house and a happy kid. She also gives us quick updates so we never have to worry. As a dad, I can honestly say she’s one of the few sitters we fully trust. Highly recommend her for any family who wants stress-free nights out. — Dad of a busy toddler”

Booked by 1 family in East Rockaway, NY

Hi families! I’m a warm, creative, and attentive caregiver who knows how to keep things fun while also creating a calm, safe, and cozy environment. I have hands-on experience caring for children from newborns through preteens (including my nephew since birth), as well as supporting seniors — I was raised by my great-grandmother and helped care for her into her late 90s, which taught me patience, gentleness, and deep attentiveness. I love bringing imagination into the day through art, reading, music, gentle play, and creative activities. I’m also very clean, organized, and respectful of the home — I enjoy light tidying, keeping spaces comfortable, and preparing simple meals when needed. I also work professionally with pets through dog walking, cat sitting, and house sitting, so your whole household is in good hands. I’m reliable, easy to trust, and I’d love to be a positive, grounding presence for your family — two-legged or four-legged. 🎨🐾

“Sage recently started working with our family. She is so amazing and wonderful, and our family is so lucky to have found her!!!!”

Amiyah $20 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive childcare experience, having worked with multiple families and taken child development courses in high school. I also volunteered at a local daycare, which strengthened my ability to engage with children in a structured environment. Patience, communication, and empathy are at the core of my caregiving style. I'm naturally nurturing and always strive to create a warm, supportive environment. Beyond childcare, I am highly responsible and organized-I've successfully run my own business since high school, refining my time management and multitasking skills. I am also CPR-certified and prepared to handle emergencies with confidence. Additionally, I'm comfortable assisting with household tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and helping with homework. My goal is to provide excellent care while making daily life easier for the family. I'd love the opportunity to bring my skills and dedication to your home!

"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)."
