Booked by 1 family in Inwood, NY

Hi! My name is Alicia and I attend Lehman College. My major is sociology. I have experience with children from the ages of 6 months to 14 years old and have been working with children since the age of 13. I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends. I can prepare meals, help with bathing/dressing, changing diapers, homework, cleaning up, bedtime and plan and partake in activities with the children. I can also help with swimming supervision, transportation, light house work, and grocery shopping. I work well with multiple children since I grew up taking care of my younger siblings. I am also comfortable taking care of animals and have a dog of my own. A little more about me: I am kind, helpful, caring, patient, fun, smart, and creative. I like to read, play board games, paint, do karaoke, write, and bake. I am patient when dealing with children's needs, emotions, and behavior. I have great communication skills that help me better understand and address the child's needs. Always ensuring a safe environment for the child is of utmost importance to me. I look forward to the opportunity to be that reliable, responsible, engaging caretaker you are seeking.

“Alicia came early and was very nice, attentive and responsible. My daughters said they liked her and looked forward to seeing her again. I definitely recommend her. Alicia did a wonderful job. She texted me updates as needed and was able to keep my girls engaged during a long day together. She is reliable, professional and simply a nice, considerate person. Just a pleasure to work with.”

Hello! My name is Viktoria, and I am a graduate student in Clinical Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children and supporting their development, and I’m passionate about combining creativity, movement, and learning in fun, age-appropriate ways. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to elementary schoolers. My experience includes babysitting for families and caring for my nieces, serving as a dance assistant for ballet (2[removed]), and currently working as an Assistant Preschool Teacher at Hollingworth Preschool with children ages 3–5. I love engaging kids through movement, dance, reading, outdoor play, and creative arts. I can also support with homework, basic tutoring, and light meal prep. I am fluent in English and Greek and bring a warm, caring, and structured approach. I enjoy spending time with animals and have experience walking, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats. In my family, we’ve cared for 6 dogs and 3 cats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I am also happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love and attention, whether with small pets or large breeds that shed.

Booked by 1 family in Inwood, NY

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! :)

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Inwood, NY

NYC-based. A bit about my background: Most recently, I served as a Public Speaking Instructor for teens through TED Summer School at Barnard College, where I loved helping students build confidence and find their voice. I’ve also nannied children from 6 months to 12 years old, including a 2-year-old I cared for on weekends and during daycare drop-off and pickup. While in college, I was a dedicated part-time nanny for two Bay Area families, and over the years I’ve also worked as a YMCA therapeutic youth mentor, Girl Scout camp counselor, and Boys & Girls Club and Make-A-Wish volunteer. Child development matters deeply to me. I have 20 years of experience working with children. I studied Sociology (BA from UCSB) and understand how meaningful early experiences can be in shaping a child’s confidence and sense of self. When I babysit, I like to actively engage children through imaginative play, creativity, conversation, and activities—with limited technology when possible. I want children to feel heard, understood, cared for, and free to be themselves. I’m also happy to handle bedtime or naps, including winding down with a good book. My availability is currently flexible as I settle into my new NYC neighborhood, so I’m happy to connect about recurring or occasional childcare needs. I’d love to get to know your family!

“Stephanie is a delight! She took great care of our 2 yo. She's attentive and kind and fun. We worked with her as a regular – she helped out with daycare pickup and dropoff, date nights, and weekend care. She was always on time, professional, organized, and communicative. We were sad when she moved away, and our 2 yo still asks about 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."

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)."
