Hello I’m Ally! I’ve been a sitter for 8 years. I’m experienced with children of all ages. Kids are our future and should be cherished and protected at all costs. I’m always willing to go the extra mile, and I don’t mind staying late, or helping with duties around the home if asked. If you need references or have any questions feel free to reach out! 😊 I’m a food lover, travel enthusiast, mommy to a beautiful 6 yr old doodle, and an admirer of all kids. With me your child will always be in good hands. Take a glance at my calendar and you’ll see the days and hours I’m available. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by! 😊🥰

Hi my name is Boubacar but I also go by Bou for short. I think I would be a great fit as I've been working with kids for a while and I love it. I love kids of all ages and I like to see them smile and having fun. I’m very fun, curious, I love to go on adventures, walk around, and try new things and do activities with the kids, also reading and playing games. I like to be active and I love when the kids are having fun. I love to meet new families. I also do work around the house such as lighthouse keeping. Looking forward to meeting you! :)

I am a 31-year-old nanny originally from Colombia with over 7 years of experience caring for children. I have lived in the United States for the past 7 years, working as a nanny while continuing to improve my English. Childcare is more than a job to me—it is a true passion. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment and bring patience, creativity, kindness, and positive energy into every home. With parents’ permission, I also enjoy sharing my culture and teaching basic Spanish to children. I have experience with children from newborns to 13 years old and have worked in both solo and nanny share positions. CPR certified and currently doing a postpartum doula course. Experience Highlights: • Aug 2021 – Apr 2023: Full-time nanny (newborn) • Apr 2023 – Jun 2024: Full-time nanny share • Jul 2024 – Apr 2025: Full-time nanny share • Jun 2025 – Present: Full-time nanny for twins • Apr 2026 – Present: Full-time nanny for a 3-year-old

Hello! I’m Olivia, a full time elementary school art teacher. I offer childcare and household services in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, and the ages of the children in my care have ranged from 2-11 years old. In addition to being certified to teach visual art, I am certified in general childhood education and am able to offer homework help and tutoring or even art lessons along with childcare! I love to work with kids and plan enriching art activities or help them meet their academic goals. I am able to complete chores, cook, and help with pet care as well!

Booked by 7 families in Jamaica, NY

Hi everyone - My name is Yoselin, and I’m a student at Queens College. I’m offering childcare, dog care, and cleaning services. I’ve been babysitting children aged 6 months to 12 years old for over three years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects), crafts, and even given dance lessons because, as a fun fact, I’m a collegiate dancer with training in various genres. This last year I’ve had the pleasure of working with two families. Both under the age of two. However, I am actively looking to start a new position so please feel free to reach out. I’ve also dog-sited and house-sited before 😊 • I can provide references ! Please note the following: To ensure my own safety, I require a uber or taxi back home for jobs that finish after 10 PM. I’m more than happy to complete a job that pays below my usual rate(s) if I apply for it.

"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

"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)."
