Booked by 1 family in Far Rockaway, NY

I have a strong background in caregiving with experience supporting children, and households. I’ve worked with kids of different ages, including newborns, toddlers, and school-age children, and I really enjoy creating fun, safe, and educational activities for them. I also have experience caring for seniors, including my grandmother who had Alzheimer’s, which gave me patience, empathy, and a deeper understanding of how to provide comfort and support. I’m responsible, organized, and detail-oriented, which helps me with household services such as light cleaning, meal preparation, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. I also love animals and have cared for pets, so I’m comfortable helping families with them as well. What really makes me a good caregiver is my caring personality, patience, and adaptability. I connect easily with people, and I always try to bring kindness and reliability into everything I do.

My 2.5 yr old had a wonderful afternoon with Isadora! He warmed up to her immediately and had so much fun playing with her. My son is often quiet/reserved around babysitters, but Isadora had him happily chatting the whole time. Isadora was punctual, communicative, and seems like a natural around children. We look forward to having her back!

Booked by 1 family in Far Rockaway, NY

Hello!! I live in Midtown East!! I’m a mom. I’m very active! I’ve raised an incredible young woman who is living in England. I have spent years taking care of babies, toddlers, kids, tweens, teens. Being a mom is a hard job but I love it! I love spending time with kids/babies and playing and teaching them. I can email you references from jobs that I had before and after this app if you’d like. Looking forward to meeting your family.

Gaby has been a great addition to our family. Within minutes of meeting our 6 month old, she was sitting on the floor, playing with him. She talks to him throughout the day and keeps him happy and entertained. She's incredibly aware of his needs for sleep, food, and fun. She's also respectful of my wishes for caring for him. Gaby is also a tremendous help around the house, helping with keeping our counters, tabletops, and floors clean! She's easy to communicate with and flexible with start times. She's always on time and very dependable. So happy we have her!

Hi there. My name is Galia. I am a patient, empathetic and energetic caregiver, offering child care, pet care and home sitting services. I am a copywriter currently looking for work, and happy to help families in the mean time. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15. But most of my experience is from the 3 years I spent as a part-time babysitter during my time at the University of Florida. I was also an after school care teacher for groups of 15+ children of all ages, for 1 year. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter on and off since 2019. These roles often involved helping children complete homework, bed time, play time, making lunch and school pick ups and drop offs. Additionally, I love cats, and I grew up with dogs, so I am more than capable of caring for them both. Plus, I speak Spanish.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Navila, and I look forward to working with you! I’m a freshman in college studying psychology with hopes of becoming a pediatric occupational therapist. I really love working with kids and have gained a lot of experience over the years. I’ve worked as a camp counselor for two summers, the first summer working with a group of ages 5-6 and the second with a group of 8-9 year olds. I’ve also au paired in Berlin from September 2025 to January 2026 for a family with two boys ages 4 and 7, where I helped with daily routines and activities. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to get along with.

Navila was lovely. Super responsive and kind. She arrived on time and kept my two girls engaged. Highly reccommend her!

"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
