Hi, My name is Stephanie. I am a soccer coach in my neighborhood and a paraprofessional. I started babysitting when I was 15 years old. I have cared for newborns, toddlers, and children aged 6-13 years. My responsibilities included driving them to and from activities, feeding them lunch or dinner, ensuring homework was completed, picking up after them, and tidying up the area.

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 10 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. I’ve also dog-sited and house-sited before. I’m currently caring for a delightful ten-month-old and one-year-old but I am on the lookout for more gigs :) • I can provide references !

Yoselin has watched Walter several times and has been a great sitter. She is reliable, caring, attentive, and easy to work with. Walter is always comfortable with her, and we feel confident leaving him in her care. We would gladly hire her again.

Hi, my name is Sam! I’m 25 years old and have over six years experience in babysitting. I am the oldest of 3 girls and always looked after them growing up. I’ve also worked as an assistant summer camp counselor with second graders. I enjoy working with children and providing a safe and fun environment for them. I love crafts, playing games and inventing stories to keep children engaged without relying on screens.

I am writing this to recommend Samantha Sanchez as a babysitter. She has been an incredible help to my family and a truly wonderful caregiver to my son who is 2 years old. From the beginning, Samantha demonstrated a natural connection with kids. She is responsible, punctual, and always brings a positive, cheerful energy into our home. My son looked forward to spending time with her and felt safe and happy in her care. She is dependable and proactive, whether it’s organizing fun and educational activities, helping with meals, or keeping things tidy. I’ve never had any concerns about her work ethic or reliability. I would highly recommend Samantha for any babysitting or childcare position. I’m confident that she will provide the same level of excellent care for your family as she did for mine. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at [email protected] or 347-301-9760

Hello!! My name is Kelis and I’m an active 19-year-old! I’m currently working as a summer camp counselor as well as an after-school counselor, where we do all the running, jumping, and playing all day. This has been my job for 4 years now, and it has trained me to maneuver through many tough situations. I love my job and enjoy seeing children have fun and make new memories. I’m currently in college studying sociology with hopes of becoming a social worker in the child care sector. I’m looking for sitter opportunities to further my experience and, of course, have fun! I love to travel and try new foods. My favorite museums would have to be the Museum of Ice Cream and the American Museum of Natural History. I’m currently saving to one day visit Japan, it’s the #1 thing on my bucket list! Outside of childcare, I’m also a signed model! While modeling has been an exciting experience and creative outlet for me, working with children has always been my true passion and the career path I’m most dedicated to pursuing. I’m excited to continue building meaningful connections with families while gaining even more experience doing what I love most!

Kids love 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)."
