Booked by 7 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! I’m a college student with lots of availability and years of babysitting experience, working with kids from newborns to 10 years old. I love making things fun with games, crafts, and activities, and I’m always happy to help with homework, run errands, or pitch in around the house. I’m responsible, patient, and positive, and I really enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with. My goal is always to make sure kids feel safe, supported, and have a great time while they're in my care!

“Emily was very quick in replying, and very flexible when I had a really early morning appointment that was postponed last minute and then stretched into the mid-afternoon hours. She was absolutely professional and saved me a lot of hassle and trouble. She has a very nice and warm personality and my son still asks about her regularly. She was able to calm him down quickly when he was truly upset over me leaving. She kept him busy and happy. I will hire her again on the spot, and can only recommend her highly.”

Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi - My name is Glory and I'm currently a graduate student at Columbia. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am happy to work with families with dogs.

“I highly recommend Glory as a babysitter. She has worked with my family in the past and consistently demonstrated a high level of responsibility, warmth, and professionalism. Glory is incredibly attentive and patient with children. She is able to create a calm, engaging environment while also maintaining structure and safety. Whether it’s helping with routines, organizing activities, or simply being present and attentive, she brings a thoughtful and caring approach to everything she does. What stands out most is her reliability and communication. She is always punctual, responsive, and proactive in updating me, which gave me a strong sense of trust and peace of mind.”

Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

I am a college graduate with my master’s and bachelor’s in electrical engineering. I’ve worked for a summer tech camp where I had to supervise a group of 20 or so campers between the ages of 5-13. I also have tutored kids in that age range. I have 3 cats of my own and have had them for 5 years now. I am very positive, energetic, and detail oriented.

“Hillary has been babysitting for us for a couple of months now and she has been great with our daughter! She has good availability and can also help with math and science if needed”

Erik 1 review
$23 per hour for 1 child

I enjoy babysitting and have been caring for children of all ages—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids for many years, especially growing up with younger siblings. My experience includes driving children to and from school, organizing crafts and activities, and providing elementary-level tutoring. In addition, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cleaning, cooking, running errands, transportation to appointments, and other daily tasks. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets and multi-generational families, including those with grandparents.

“Erik was our nanny for 2–3 years, and if we could have taken him with us when we moved, we absolutely would have. He became such an important part of our family. Erik became such an important part of our family. He is an incredible caregiver — patient, loyal, and deeply trustworthy. He prepared meals for our children, handled overnights with confidence, and was always there whenever a situation came up. We always felt completely at ease knowing our kids were in his care. Any family would be so lucky to have him.”

Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

As the oldest sibling of 4, I really have a knack for entertaining kids. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to work early morning and late nights. I was a camp counselor for 4 years so I have a lot of experience with kids from the ages of 4 - 16. I also have spent 3 years nannying for a family who had an infant, so I also have infant experience.

“Great!”

"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)."
