Booked by 12 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hello! I absolutely adore babysitting because I enjoy caring for others and playing with children's wild imaginations. As a highly experienced caregiver, I hold an associate degree in Early Childhood education, am currently finishing my bachelor's in human services and community, and have worked at the Rockefeller University Child and Family Center for six years. During that time, I gained an extensive background in babysitting and teaching children of all ages. In addition to my education and work experience, I am also trained in CPR and first aid, so you can trust that your child is in safe hands. I am also highly flexible and available to work on short notice or at irregular hours. In fact, I am able to work overnight and most weekends, so you can have peace of mind knowing that I am always there for your family. I've built great connections with many families from this website, some of whom I've even remained close with to this day. In fact, I'm honored to say that one child I used to babysit is now a part of my wedding! I mention this to let you know that I'm more than just a babysitter; I truly care about the families I work with and strive to build meaningful relationships with them. If you're looking for a reliable, caring babysitter who truly loves what she does, I would be honored to work with your family. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a time to chat. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

“Needed a sitter to help me throw my daughter's pink princess bday party at her school. Lauren was wonderful - punctual, helpful, knowledgable about toddler bday parties, personable, professional and strong. The students (two and three year olds) loved her. Lauren stepped into the MC role, also held that stuffed pinata for a long time with very few breaks for about 15 minutes as 14 toddlers took their turns to try to beat it open (with my daughter getting first and last turns). Lauren is at the top of my list for next year's school party. Grateful that she applied and accepted the job. Highly recommend.”

Childcare for me once was a hobby that has blossomed into my life long purpose. I have always adored children and take pride in being a part of so many family, friends and associates’ villages. I have been a nanny both part time and full time for multiples and a nanny share. Currently, I’ve received my Child Development Associate, I am a full time assistant teacher at a daycare, & a direct support provider for a child with special needs, 4 years and counting. After school hours and most weekends I am a babysitter for local, school and referred clients. In the past few years I’ve focused on expanding my knowledge and experience. I hold several certifications & undergo extensive trainings to comply with both state & daycare regulations. I will always go above and beyond to grow, as no day is the same and I love that I get to tap into my fun side. I enjoy having a great time, teaching, fostering developmental growth and being a nurturer. Speaking of fun, my previous babysitter agency job provided me opportunities in places such as hotels, back up care in the home, & events i.e.; weddings on a weekly basis. I even supervised several different Sunday school group activities. Please be advised, I am CPR/First Aid/AED trained so safety is a top priority. I am in search of full time & occasional needs. I hope that we are a match!

Booked by 8 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi everyone - My name is Yoselin, and I’m a student at Queens College. I’m offering childcare, dog care, and cleaning services. I’ve been babysitting children aged 6 months to 12 years old for over three years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects), crafts, and even given dance lessons because, as a fun fact, I’m a collegiate dancer with training in various genres. This last year I’ve had the pleasure of working with two families. Both under the age of two. However, I am actively looking to start a new position so please feel free to reach out. I’ve also dog-sited and house-sited before 😊 • I can provide references ! Please note the following: To ensure my own safety, I require a uber or taxi back home for jobs that finish after 10 PM. I’m more than happy to complete a job that pays below my usual rate(s) if I apply for it.

“Yoselin was amazing with our 5 yr old! Lots of play time and she brought him out of his shy shell. We will definitely be hiring Yoselin again and highly recommend her to other families. ”

Booked by 2 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Elena, and I’m currently looking for a new family to work with as a babysitter/nanny. I have 3+ years of professional childcare experience, as well as years of experience helping raise and care for my younger siblings. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and have experience with children of different ages, including nannying for a baby. I’m very hands-on and genuinely enjoy being involved with the children — playing, doing activities, going outside, helping with routines, and creating a real connection with them. I also really value getting to know and work closely with the whole family. I’d be happy to share more about my experience and provide references. 😊

“We love Elena! She is so punctual, good with our three kids 10, 7 and 6M plus our dog, Samba! Elena is reliable and committed. Lucky to have her! ”

Booked by 6 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi there! My name is Chantal, and I’m a recent graduate of NYU Wagner currently working part-time at a nonprofit organization. Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I’m available for part-time, occasional, evening, and weekend babysitting. Working with children has always been one of the most joyful and meaningful parts of my life. I love building trusting relationships with children, encouraging their curiosity, and creating spaces where they feel safe, supported, and free to explore the world around them. My experience includes: • Nannying children from 3 months to 12 years old, with most of my experience being with children ages 2–6. I have worked long-term nanny positions as well as one-time babysitting, school pickups, evening care, and overnight care. • Working as an English-Spanish bilingual tutor in an elementary school, supporting children ages 6–8. • Serving as a sleepaway camp counselor for 5–6-year-old girls, where I completed training in CPR, First Aid, and water safety. I enjoy creating engaging experiences tailored to each child’s interests—whether that’s trips to the park, museums, libraries, or neighborhood adventures, as well as imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, and sensory activities at home. I highly value outdoor time and believe childhood should be full of joy, creativity, wonder, and opportunities to learn through play. ✨ I’m also happy to provide: • Homework help and tutoring • Snack and meal preparation (omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan) • Pet care and assistance around the home • Support with public transit and practicing age-appropriate safety skills I am fluent in English and Spanish, conversational to near-fluent in Italian, and conversational in American Sign Language (ASL). I’m comfortable working in homes with pets of any kind and would love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meeting! I look forward to meeting you and your little ones. 🫶🏼😊

“Chantal regularly babysits our son after school. She's super trustworthy, communicative, and easy going. I'm usually busy at work when she's with our son out and about in manhattan, sometimes on the subway. I'm able to to focus on work and not worry about our son during this time, because he's always in great hands with Chantal!”

"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)."
