Glory 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family 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.

Trent $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Trent, and I’ve always had a heart for caring for others, whether it’s children, seniors, or anyone who needs support. I studied Drama and Education at New York University, where I developed a deep understanding of child/adolescent development, learning styles, diversity, and inclusion. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified for all ages. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I grew up with a younger brother with Down Syndrome, Autism, and Type 1 diabetes, and I have been a caregiver to him my whole life. I have also worked at a special needs kids' gym, which has given me a lot of experience in watching children of all abilities. What I love most about caregiving is the chance to make someone’s day a little easier, brighter, and more joyful. Building trust with families and forming real connections with the people I care for is what keeps me inspired every day. When I’m not caregiving, you’ll usually find me outdoors, reading a new book, or working on a creative project. I’m reliable, compassionate, and always ready to help. I’d love the opportunity to support your family—thank you for considering me!

Lucy 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Lucy Babat! I am 22 and a recent Colgate University graduate heading to NYU this fall for a Master's in Social Work. I'm originally from Nashville, TN, where I spent several years nannying and developed a real love for working with young kids, especially infants and toddlers. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy the day-to-day of caring for little ones. I like keeping kids engaged with screen free play, hands-on activities, cooking simple meals and snacks, and helping older siblings with homework when needed. I am well versed with infants and am more than comfortable curating age appropriate activities (tummy time, swaddling, soothing, etc). I have also taken many childhood development courses through my psychology major at Colgate. I'm available for the summer and would love to find a great family to spend it with. Please feel free to reach out!

During her time with us, Lucy was responsible for caring for our young children, meal prep, light housework, and accompanying us on activities. She was consistently punctual, reliable, and attuned to our children’s needs. Her abilities to remain positive and calm, while keeping kids engaged and creating a nurturing environment consistently fostered a sense of security, joy, and trust. Our family absolutely adores her, and we always felt confident they were safe and well cared for. She became an important member of our family, and we continue to remain close. I would not hesitate to hire her again and whole heartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny!

I've been nannying and babysitting for years and have experience caring for children ranging from infants to middle schoolers in both full-time and part-time roles. I love planning fun activities, getting kids outside, doing crafts, reading books, helping with homework, and creating a safe, engaging environment where they can have fun and thrive. I'm CPR certified, dependable, organized, and currently available for evenings and weekends in NYC.

Amelia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am a mom to a 3 year old boy looking to help you with your babysitting needs. In terms of experience, I have discovered my love of caring for children with my own son, and I have also previously fostered a dog several years ago. Would be happy to facilitate drop off / pickup from daycare, preschool, or school with your child(ren) safe & secure in my 4-seater, 5-point-harness wonderfold wagon (with rain cover). I hold a BA in English Literature and would also love to read with your child. Happy to cook/clean or do errands if you need. Note: My 3 year old would only join us if you need help evenings, weekends, or on days when his preschool is closed.

"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)."
