Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

Hello! My name is Zoe, and love working with kids!My first experience working with kids, was when I went to Nepal in my junior year of high school. There, I taught students photography with my fellow classmates, while also rebuilding their school after an earthquake had hit it. I have also tutored a 1st grader in Phonics, when I was in my senior year of high school. I am looking for a steady job doing something that I love. The joy I have when I am helping and taking care of kids is unmatched. I have my CPR/AED and First Aid Infant/Child/Adult Certification. I have nannied for a few families over the years, and would be happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to hearing from you. -Zoe

Booked by 3 families in Long Island City, NY

Hello! My name is Ava and I have quite a bit of nannying and babysitting experience! I am 22 years old and began seriously nannying when I was 17. However, the real babysitting started when my two little brothers were born and I gained newborn and early childhood experience through them. I have helped numerous families and absolutely love children. I am energetic and uplifting and love to adventure with the children or stick to a successful routine! I live in the East Village area but can commute if needed. I am experienced in all ages, and can do overnight as well!

“Ava has beautiful warm energy and a fun spirit that inspired my girls to begin hugging her almost immediately upon meeting and made me feel very comfortable with my choice of her as a sitter. She took them out to dinner and shopping in SoHo and checked in regularly and, most remarkably (given time change since we are traveling), had them asleep by the time we returned from dinner. 💖”

Amelie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Amelie and I am originally from Boston, now living in NYC as a freshman at the Fashion Institute of Technology. For five years I worked as a sewing instructor at a sewing studio, teaching children from ages 4-15. I adore getting to know each kid and the variety of personalities that come with it. Teaching sewing has allowed me to help children develop confidence, focus, and self-expression through hands-on, engaging projects. I love guiding young learners through the process of turning ideas into something they can be proud of and seeing how they blossom creativity. Alongside that, I’ve spent several years providing babysitting and part-time care for children of various ages and needs. This has taught me how to adapt quickly, communicate clearly with both children and parents, and create a safe, supportive environment. My experience also includes working with children who have disabilities, which has deepened my understanding of how to personalize care and instruction with empathy and patience. I had dogs all through my childhood and have experience in pet sitting. I love all animals! I can clean, bake, and do basic cooking.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Francie and I just graduated from Williams College. I am a babysitter and tutor, and am also willing to work with animals. I have experience in babysitting elementary and toddler-aged children, but am excited about working with other ages. I also have experience tutoring my younger brother, who had learning difficulties, so am comfortable working with kids who might have difficult relationships with school work. In the past I've dropped kids off and picked them up, done crafts with them, taken them to the playground, read with them, made up dances, and otherwise tried to have them to creative activities. Please let me know if I can give you any more info!

Hi! I’m Scarlet, a passionate and caring nanny. I offer child care and pet care, always creating a fun and safe environment! I have 2 years of experience as an au pair, caring for a 2 y/o baby and a 5 y/o girl. I absolutely love working with children and enjoy role playing games, painting, baking delicious treats, doing crafts, and playing sports. I bring the perfect balance of being gentle and feminine with girls, and fun and silly with boys! I can also help with teaching or tutoring Spanish, homework assistance, and even cooking. Plus, I’m CPR-certified, ensuring your child’s safety at all times, yayyy! Pet care is another passion of mine! I grew up surrounded by animals, so I have plenty of experience taking care of pets. I love going on walks with dogs and playing with cats, making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Looking forward to providing the best care for your little ones and furry friends!

"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)."
