Booked by 10 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hi there! I’m Debra, a sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I’ve cared for children across ages, from infants to school-aged, and I like building little routines and activities that keep them engaged: crafts, reading, a trip to the park or library, or just good play. I offer babysitting and childcare, plus help with light household tasks like tidying and organizing as I go. I’m comfortable with the full range of day-to-day care: feeding, naps, bedtime routines, and homework help for older kids. I bring a calm, dependable presence and pay attention to the details. I’m reliable, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. I currently get around by transit, so I’m a great fit for families who don’t need driving. Outside of sitting, I love reading, singing, traveling, and a bit of interior decorating, interests I happily fold into creative time with kids. I’d love to meet your family and learn how I can help. Thanks for considering me!

I hope all is well with you and your families. Over the years, it has been a great joy to be a source of relief and comfort for dozens of families worldwide, supporting their childcare, household management, and senior care needs. Like many of us, I started nannying during college. My undergraduate degree in Legal Research, combined with my interest in International Business, gave me the opportunity to study in New York, South Korea, Egypt, and Italy. My cultural adaptability, patience, and reliability have allowed families to entrust me with the care of their most precious loved ones. After college, I dedicated my time and expertise to supporting families with long-term needs. I have experience with infants to school-age children, including those with special needs or behavioral challenges. I am familiar with rotational schedules and flying to destinations on a rotation basis. I have accompanied families on holidays and served as a valuable extension of their comprehensive needs, especially for high-net-worth individuals. Regarding my demeanor, I am lighthearted and love to laugh. I remain calm in stressful situations and am well-equipped to handle the unexpected. I love learning and am never too proud to admit when I am wrong. My superpower is learning quickly. Outside of my professional life, I am quite adventurous. I love trying new things, whether it’s a new sport, restaurant, or activity. I enjoy walking long distances, watching and reviewing films, and, of course, my love for travel remains strong.

“Kiyonah has been a reliable and good babysitter for our child. She is punctual, follows instructions carefully, and engages the child with patience and creativity. We appreciate her calm and attentive approach, and our child was happy and well-cared-for in her presence. We confidently recommend her to any family.”

Booked by 6 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hello - my name is Jas! Currently I’m looking for some part time work, and I have availability for 1-2 evenings a week or weekend. I got into babysitting at a young age for kids in my neighborhood. As I got older I expanded into other parts of childcare as well! Some of my experience includes volunteering at my local children’s center as an after school aide, working and hosting birthday parties at my previous job, being a camp counselor every summer for years, and being a nanny for the past 4 years. I've been working with kids for almost 7 years now, and before the pandemic I was a part time crafts teacher at an after school program. I was in charge of a class of 10-15 kids for a few hours every week doing small projects together. All in all I adore my time with kids and I’m not afraid to get down on the ground and play with or engage your child when it comes down to it. I am very motivated to help children be happy, healthy, and well behaved. I am very interested in helping you with your child and I am really flexible with scheduling. I have previous caregiving experience in dropping off/picking up children, helping them with homework, doing crafts, preparing simple meals, doing indoor/outdoor activities, reading, bedtime routines, etc. If you have a pet I don’t mind! I am not allergic to cats or dogs so I am all good on that front. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Great with our dog!”

Booked by 32 families in Forest Hills, NY

I am a UCLA graduate with a degree in sociology and lots of experience in early childhood learning. CURRENTLY: I am on a cross country road trip so I am only available for occasional or one time babysitting. Great for emergency or last minute needs. I have been doing babysitting and childcare for about 6 years now for family and friends. I have always been good with children. I am the oldest child and the oldest of most of my cousins so I have grown up watching kids. I have been housesitting for over a year now for many pet owners that go on vacation for any amount of time from 3 days to a week. I have been helping out seniors in my family for a while as well since 3/4 of my great grandmothers are still alive and are in need of assistance when it comes to daily tasks. I have grown up around big dogs and other animals so I am pretty experienced with walking dogs and caring for them.

Hi there! My name is Sharon and I am a graduate of Lewis & Clark College. I have experience working with children of all ages in many different settings. I have worked with children on the autism spectrum in an elementary school as a Behavior Intervention Implementor. Additionally, I worked full-time as a Personal Support Person for a child with Down Syndrome. I have also worked as a full-time nanny for a 3-child household. I am confident in my abilities to care for children with varying abilities with care, understanding, respect, and empathy. I also have tons of experience working at summer camps as both a counselor and art teacher! I love working with kids because it is genuinely so fun, challenging, and rewarding. Childcare is truly the best job out there. Thank you so much for visiting my profile, and I look forward to working with you!

“Sharon is reliable and punctual. She was attentive and patient with my two year old. I'll definitely request her again.”

"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)."
