Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi, my name is Brittany! I have been in childcare for over 9 years. I have specifically consistently worked in infant childcare for the past 7, but also have and enjoy working with littles of all ages! Flexible schedule, with lots of experience caring for more than one child at a time. Hoping to connect with families looking for some extra help creating a loving, safe and nurturing environment for their child/children. Looking forward to working with you. Thank you!😊

Brittany has been our longtime babysitter and is truly part of our family. She’s amazing with kids – so professional, warm, and experienced, both in her career and personally. As first-time parents, we’ve learned so much from her. She’s seen everything and always supports and educates us without judgment. She is always on time, incredibly reliable, and genuinely loves children. Our son doesn’t love everyone, but he absolutely adores Brittany. She’s fun, nurturing, and feels like another mom in his life. We’re so excited she’s expanding her network via the app because any family would be lucky to have her.

I’m 21 and I’ve had plenty of experience with infants and toddlers. I took care of my sister from birth and I also had my own infant classroom and a 2 year old classroom. I have a lot of experience in feeding, changing, nap time, potty training, and developmental activities. I like to babysit and nanny because it brings me joy, kids do all of the fun things lol… play, eat, and sleep. I’ve been caring for children since the age of 11 so I’ve got a few years of experience up my sleeve. I’m okay with pets! I can help with meals and cleaning up, and I’m also happy to care for them in my own home. If the weather permits, I would like to take them to do outside activities, if not I love a good DIY craft. I do share my location and give frequent updates because I know I’d appreciate it. I also like to remind parents that when it comes to your kids you’re never asking for too much so please feel comfortable asking me to do things. Although I have a lot of experience with younger kids I’m 100% okay with caring for older children, I don’t discriminate. If you’d need me for longer than planned or for overnight care just let me know in advance and I’ll let you know what I can do! Thank you for taking the time to consider me, and have a great day! :)

Hello, My name is Martina, I'm 27 years old and from SPAIN (yeah, I can teach spanish to your kids!) I have +7 years of experience with kids: I used to work as a music teacher with kids and teens in Spain. And the last few years I’ve been working as an aupair, nanny, baby-nurse and spanish-tutor. I love being outside around nature and I love baking. I’d love to share my mediterranean culture with your kids! I can be very flexible with schedules and also working on extra nanny work (groceries, tidying up, laundry, picking up/dropping packages) I really like to work in a kind environment. It’s important for me to feel that we are a team! Contact me if you're interested about it. I’d love to meet your family(:

I am delighted to recommend Martina who helps my family on weekends. She has an incredible knack for connecting with children. Her warm and engaging nature makes her a natural with kids. She seamlessly incorporates Spanish into their daily activities, fostering a bilingual environment that has greatly benefited my toddler. Beyond her childcare skills, Maria is also an excellent cook. She prepares delicious, healthy meals and is is always happy to help with clean-up and even manages to keep up with the laundry, making our lives much easier. Intelligent and thoughtful, Martina adapts quickly to our family's needs. She is consistently reliable, arriving on time and ready to engage. Her commitment and care go above and beyond, making her an invaluable part of our household. I wholeheartedly recommend Matina to any family seeking a dedicated, talented, and dependable babysitter.

Chloe 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Chloe, and I would love to help you and your family. I have a passion for working with children and helping parents be the most present and happy as they can be in the times that matter most. A child's imagination is the most precious, sacred thing in my eyes, and I take fostering that imagination as my own personal mission. I've been working with kids ever since I could remember, as the daughter of a dance teacher and therefore unofficial assistant instructor. In high school, I worked as a party princess, solidifying my passion for working with children with the added benefit of knowing every word to every princess song ever. With a solid arsenal of artistic skills in nearly all mediums, I love to plan arts activities with kids abilities and interests in mind that leave them feeling empowered and competent. I also love taking children out on excursions led by what sparks their curiosity. My M.O. is to instill a love for learning, inner confidence, and resilient spirit that stays with children for life. For me, that starts with making sure they feel seen, supported, and respected. Outside of childcare, I am also a multidisciplinary artist, working with photography, performance, comedy, writing, music, sculpture, and anything I can get my hands on, really. I just graduated from DePaul in Chicago, earning a 3.96 GPA while PT nannying and managing freelance photography gigs. I'm currently available for families within the city as well as in Bergen County, Fairfield County, Rockland County Westchester County, and Hudson County.

I enthusiastically recommend Chloe as a nanny or babysitter! She was our part time nanny from August 2025 through June 2026, caring for our three children (ages 3 to 10) after school and our new baby when she arrived in December. Chloe was everything we could have hoped for in a nanny - she is extremely reliable, punctual, and responsible but also incredibly playful and imaginative. Our children span a wide range of ages and she handled each of their individual needs and personalities with ease. She could talk Zelda strategy with our older kids and help them with their homework while playing dress up and singing Frozen songs with our toddler! She managed daily after school drop-offs and pick-ups for us, drove our car confidently in city traffic, helped with snacks and meal prep, and kept our lives running smoothly throughout the year. She was very supportive of our family rules regarding screen time limits and was rarely if ever on her phone while supervising our children. She was also comfortable with our dog and helped to care for her as well! When our new baby arrived, Chloe didn't have much previous experience with infants, but she was eager to learn. By the end of her time with us she was comfortably handling all aspects of baby care, including diaper changes, naptime, feeding, schedules, and more. She was also very interested in supporting our baby's development as she grew out of the newborn stage! Beyond managing our daily routines, Chloe encouraged our children to be creative and regularly took the initiative to set them up with art projects tailored to their individual interests. We still have some of them on display around our home! She is also very musical, highly energetic, and just plain fun to be around. We were so sad when Chloe moved away — she definitely made a big impression on our children, and we all miss her terribly. Any family would be lucky to have her!

I’m energetic sitter with around 5 years of experience in childcare. I’m currently a preschool teacher during the week. I also do specialize in working with special needs children. I love doing puzzles and reading with children. During the spring I love taking them out to do different activities in the city. I’m open to any overnight jobs where any extra chores would need to be complete. Feel free to message me and I can send you some references. Thank you for trusting me with your child!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
