Booked by 4 families in Long Island City, NY

Hello! You can call me Fatou for short. I live in the Bronx, willing to commute. I’m 25 years old and a full time experienced babysitter/nanny. I’ve been on Urban-sitter for a year now. I’ve done over nights, school drop offs and pick ups, and occasionally one time jobs as well. Worked with 7 families so far, with 2 families currently. I do well with complex schedules as well. Why babysitting/nannying? Knowing how to take care of kids before becoming a mom myself <3 I’m a former summer camp counselor from the Little Shepards program, had lots of fun going on outdoor trips to the zoo, amusement parks and museums. I’m a big sister as well, my little sister Tita! She’s 8 years old and the sweetest thing ever. We do a lot of our own girly dates like movies, kids spa and quick errands with me. So far we’ve watched The little Mermaid, Moana, Mufasa, and Elio! I have a 2 year old British short hair cat so I have experience with kittens/cats. Definitely look forward to working with you and your little ones soon!

Fatou was amazing! I needed someone last minute and she stepped in and saved the day! She had a great attitude and spent the evening with my 11 year old daughter. My daughter had a great time with Fatou and asked if she could babysit her again in the future. Fatou was punctual and communicative. I was at ease knowing that my daughter was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Fatou.

Booked by 3 families in Long Island City, NY

Hey! My name is Victoria and I’m looking forward into going back to babysitting. I’m Venezuelan and I fluently speak Spanish and English. I'm a certified PCA with certifications I can show upon request. I’ve been working with kids pretty much my entire life, I started with my cousins and then my nephews and nieces, they’d always make my day better back home, playing around and watching them was a really nice experience and that’s why I decided to be a babysitter, I’ve work with infants and toddlers, but all ages are fine with me. I love taking the kids to the playground or the park if it’s a nice sunny day but if not I love indoor activities too like playing games, doing homework, singing songs, dancing, reading or maybe watching a movie if the kids are not in the mood for playing, I’m a big Disney fan. I’m super comfortable with pets, even have some of my own and i’m very happy to work with families that have pets.

Victoria is an incredible sitter. And sitter isn’t even sufficient to describe the support she provided to my son and I. Yes, she can easily do all the tasks required. More than that, she does them with genuine care and goes above and beyond. We miss her terribly and if she lived closer, I’d find every excuse to have her here. My father was hospitalized during our time together. My son was about 4. I got the call and had to race to the airport. Without hesitation she said she’d figure it out and I could take the time I needed. That’s who she is.

"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)."
