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! :)

Hi, my name is Lina. I’m offering senior care. I have been caretaking for the elderly in my own family and also work as a household assistant. I really understand their needs and I am willing to help them with love and respect. I also have had my own pet, and I understand how important they are as part of the family.

I’ve cared for various children ranging from infancy to 16 years old. I was a Barnard Babysitter during my years there (2[removed]) and have nannied full time since 2023. I have a degree in psychology and a minor in religion. I’m patient, kind, curious, playful, communicative, responsible, firm, and big on checklists. I like to ensure children feel free to explore and learn but also maintain safety and parents wishes. My experience includes taking children to and picking up from school and extra curriculars, preparing meals, bath time, playtime, homework, park and zoo trips and more. I essentially raised the last child I worked with from 10 months until almost 4 years old when he started school full time. O was his primary caretaker M-F 7:30 am - 6 pm and helped him to walk, talk, eat solids, potty training, learn manners, cleanliness, and all the developmental phases from infancy through toddlerhood. I’m comfortable helping with light housework and errands and also have extensive experience pet sitting for cats, dogs and rodents. I’ve had great relationships with parents and children alike and continue to be in touch with all families I’ve worked for in the past. I aim to ensure that what needs to get done gets done but that we have some fun along the way and alleviate parents of some of the many responsibilities you have.

Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, 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.

"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)."
