Booked by 2 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hiiii! Im a college student who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have experience babysitting kids from 3months to 11 years old, tutoring after school. And I’m ALSO CPR certified. A day babysitting with me : I like to keep things fun while still following the family’s routine. We might start with a snack and some homework, then switch it up with arts and crafts, games, a movie, playing outside, or exploring something new( definitely excited about this). I’m big on letting kids have fun while still making sure they feel comfortable, heard, and safe. Before the parents come home, I’ll make sure everything is cleaned up and the kids are settled into whatever routine they normally have. I like to actively keep the kids busy and myself, so their interests are very important to me. Parents are updated every few hours and occasional check in when it’s my day off. Having open communication is my biggest priority. I’d describe myself as kind, outgoing, easy to talk to for the most part lol and someone who always tries to bring positive energy wherever I go. I’ve always believed the best jobs are the ones where people are genuinely happy to see you walk through the door. I want to be the sitter kids get excited about and the person parents can trust without worrying. As I’ll be moving away from my own family to start college, I know how important it is to have people around you who make you feel safe, supported, and cared for. I hope I can be that person for the families I experience New York with while building a foundation for connections. I’m currently available for after-school care, date nights, and completely available on the weekends!!! I can adjust as needed and do very early mornings but it’ll be tedious. Face time call or in person meet before official start day!!! Feel free to reach out and ask me questions and for references.

Parker $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm originally from Los Angeles and just graduated from Boston College, where I studied English and marketing. I've spent the past several years babysitting for about 5 families across LA, so I'm comfortable with kids of different ages and personalities. I'm one of three girls in my family, and I grew up with two very energetic dogs at home—so I'm no stranger to chaos (or cleanup)! In my free time, I love watercolor painting, playing volleyball, and dreaming up fun activities and games to keep kids engaged and entertained. I'm also proficient in French and always happy to practice with kids who are learning or in a bilingual household! I currently work part-time as a jewelry stylist and sales associate at Gorjana, so my availability varies depending on my shifts, which fall between 10am–7pm, plus two full days off each week. I'm happy to work around my schedule to find a time that fits yours!

Bella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Bella. I've spent close to a decade with private families — first in Southern California where I grew up, and now in New York. I'm calm under pressure, comfortable with infants through tweens (including kids with special needs and twins), and I think the best nannies are the ones whose presence makes the apartment feel a degree quieter, not louder. I'm pursuing a master's in Computer Science at Pace University, live in Tribeca, and can be at most downtown apartments in fifteen minutes. References available from every family I've worked with. Always happy to start with a paid trial day. Rates run $30–$40/hr depending on the day and number of kids.

Chloe Kaleah $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello Parents! My name is Chloe Kaleah I am a 20year old undergrad student at Pace University. As a sophomore college student studying film and screen studies, I find immense joy in caring for children, understanding their unique needs, and fostering their growth. My 3 years of childcare experience taught me to connect with kids, build trust, and create a nurturing environment. I prioritize meaningful relationships, whether imaginative play, homework help, or listening to their stories. I also enjoy incorporating animals into our activities and exploring arts and crafts. Overall, I am dedicated to providing a nurturing, engaging, and fun-filled experience where kids can learn, grow, and thrive.

Agatha $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Agatha and I have 6 years of experience working with children as young as 4 months to 4 years old in a professional school/daycare setting (+ several years of volunteer work with children throughout high school as well). Alongside caring for your child, I will assist in any chores/tasks you would like me to complete. I will also always have activities planned in order to keep your child entertained, and learning! I enjoy fully engaging with children, whether at the playground, or creating simple games for them that improve their memory and motor skills. It is very fulfilling knowing that children trust me to help them grow, and have fun. I am very down to earth as well, so letting them be vulnerable ensures that they can be thoroughly themselves in a safe environment! :)

"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)."
