Kia 1 review
New York
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kia! I’m a 27-year-old sitter with over a decade of experience caring for kids, pets, and homes and truly love what I do. Whether I’m building forts with little ones, cuddling with your pets, or making sure your home stays just the way you left it- I bring care, calm, and a personal touch to every job. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a former lifeguard, and am available to teach swim lessons so you can count on me to keep things safe while still having fun. I’ve also worked in corporate finance, which taught me how to be dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of people’s time and space. I’ve been a pet owner myself, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m the kind of sitter who sends updates, leaves things better than I found them, and treats every child or pet like they’re part of my own circle. When I’m not working, I’m usually outside staying active, reading a good book, baking a sweet treat, or hanging out with friends. If you're looking for someone warm, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with- I’d love to connect!

Kia is thoughtful, responsible and incredibly patient. As a former teacher, I am so impressed to see how attentive and genuinely caring she is with children of all ages. I’ve seen firsthand how naturally she connects with kids and you can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with them as well. Kia is always on time and makes sure to put the children’s and parents needs first.

Chloe 1 review
New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families!! My name is Chloe I am 23 years old and I am looking to be your sitter. I have been babysitting for over 10 years with experience in ages ranging from 2-14! I’ve also spent four years as a lead camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising groups, planning activities, and creating a fun, safe, and inclusive environment. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged, helping with homework, or organizing creative activities, I aim to make every child feel supported and cared for. In addition to childcare, I also offer cat sitting, pet sitting, and help with general household chores. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and proactive—I always try to anticipate needs and make parents’ lives a little easier. I take pride in being someone families can truly trust and rely on.

Chloe is very reliable, professional, and capable. She has frequently watched my three kids, and the kids always have a blast. She is very conscientious and keeps the kids occupied. She has also done chores for me around the house, and I have been quite pleased with her work. Highly recommend.

Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

My name is Joanna and I’m originally from Switzerland, Geneva (bilingual in French and English). I’m 29 years old, graduated from my master’s at NYU in International relations and international law and now work in fashion. I worked as a babysitter for the past 14 years. Since I moved to the US, I worked for many families with 1 to 5 children at the same time, and between the ages of 6 weeks old to 14 years old, in Miami, Los Angeles and New York. I babysat a family with a 6-week-old newborn and his 2-year-old brother, at the same time, for months daily. I also worked for many other families with 3 kids (from 4 to 12 years old) where I had to pick them up from school and play with them or helped them with their homework. I have a younger sister and grew up as the oldest in my family with 6 younger cousins, and grew up babysitting them regularly. I truly miss having my family here and spending time with kids- I love learning from them. I always follow and respect the family and parents’ rules and values. I look forward to meeting you and your family :)

Warm and dependable. A really lovely person and babysitter!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

I have been babysitting since I was 15, my first job was a mothers helper with a pair of 6 month old twins. Recently the age range I’ve been watching is 2-13. I love art, animals and have a basic understanding of most sports. I have no pet allergies. I prefer to work with one or two families closely so I can build a trusting relationship with the kid(s.) I can do overnights as soon as I’ve met the family and know the kids feel safe with me. I do prefer a days notice but I can be to you within thirty minutes to an hour if you’re in my area. I am also on the Nextdoor app, you can find me and message me there if you prefer. Currently I am not cpr certified but it will be one of the first things I do once nyc opens back up.

Sophia is a great babysitter and very responsible. She has watched my kids since summer 2019. She is always 15-30 minutes early and would make sure I was ready for her to leave when I got home, she never ran out the door. My dog loves her and gets excited when he hears her footsteps. My oldest (12) considers her a friend and goes to her with school and issues with other friends. She is very sweet and caring. She follows my rules about meals, snacks and tv time and tells me anything important from the day. Sadly, we have to let her go because we’re moving but she will be missed and has become a member of our family.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
