Booked by 5 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi, my name is Lauren! I’m a recent NYU graduate with a degree in Film and Television Production and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I’ve had many years of childcare experience, as I grew up in a large family with many younger cousins! I’ve been a consistent nanny in the city for the past four years, taking care of children ages 0-5! I am looking for full time work though I am always open to part time. I love working with children and I really enjoy spending time with every child I have the privilege of caring for!

Hi there! My name is Jenny and I am originally from Seattle but I lived in Boston for 10 years and now in Brooklyn for the last 3 years. I am a professional vocalist and perform for high end wedding and events in the city and country. Caring for others and making someone else's day or week a little bit easier makes me happy. I want to live in a world where people are caring, emphatic, and create real connections with each other. I've been baby sitting and helping others since I was a kid - I nannied for 2 boys in Newton, MA for about a year after college (ages 2 and 6). Any after school pickup, homework help, and dinner help - I'm your girl! If your child is at all interested in music, I would love to be a part of that. I love all animals and I feel comfortable cleaning, cooking, and driving. I have a clean driving record, a safe car (subaru) and a caring bubbly demeanor. I haven't been in childcare for a while because I've been professionally singing most of the time but I love the brooklyn community and figured I could get involved again in my own neighborhood.

“Jennifer is fantastic! She is extremely professional and reliable, and I had no issues leaving her with my daughter. She was able to handle dinner and bedtime with our toddler, and was great in their playful interactions. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

Let me introduce myself- I’m monica. I I was born in Colombia, South American, As a child I was adopted and raised in New York City by my mother who was a public school teacher for 36 years before retiring from the NYC Board of Education. I married at a young age and now have an amazing eighteen year old daughter, who is a freshman at college in Michigan. Throughout my daughter’s childhood I was fortune enough to be a full time mother, and so I devoted myself completely to her. I am eternally grateful for my role as her mother. When she was a child, she sang, with the children’s Chorus of New York Metropolitan Opera. Rehearsal, auditions, and picking her up from school took up most of my time. There were many trips to the park, theater performances, dancing classes, and other varied experiences. I have listed these so you will feel assured that I will do these or other activities to enrich the lives of your children. Having been a mother for many years, I feel more than capable of providing care to your child(ren). I love animals and have one on my own. (Pug, Penny)

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!”

Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hello, my name is Denise! I am 27 years old, a proud mom to a wonderful 7-year-old, and a dedicated childcare professional with a true passion for working with children. I am currently offering babysitting services and additional family support during my free time. I work full-time as a Pre-K teacher and have over four years of experience teaching toddlers. In addition, I have cared for children ranging in age from 5 months to 14 years old. My professional background has given me the skills to create a safe, nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children can learn and thrive. I earned my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Borough of Manhattan Community College, and I will begin pursuing my Master’s Degree in May 2027 in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am committed to continuing my education so I can provide the best care and support possible for children and families. I am a very active, enthusiastic, and energetic person who can easily match the energy of your child while keeping them engaged in positive activities. I enjoy reading books, making arts & crafts, playing board games, practicing flashcards, and going to the park (with parent permission). I believe childcare should be both fun and enriching. I am fully vaccinated, dependable, and happy to provide references upon request. Please don’t hesitate to send me a message with any questions I would be more than happy to speak with you. Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction, and I hope to hear from you soon!

"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)."
