Booked by 8 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Florencia, and I’m a responsible, patient, and energetic caregiver with over 5 years of experience working with children. I’m very attentive and communicative, and I love engaging children through creative activities like drawing, storytelling, and interactive play. I can also help with routines and homework, while maintaining a structured and positive daily routine. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), and I can naturally incorporate both languages when interacting with children. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping related to the children, including tidying up play areas, children’s laundry, and keeping their spaces organized. I’m reliable, warm, and committed to building a strong and trusting relationship with both children and parents. Looking forward to supporting your family! 💛

Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

I am a compassionate, dedicated, and adaptable caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for babies, pets, and seniors. Growing up in a large family, I began babysitting my cousins as early as high school, which gave me a deep understanding of the responsibility and patience required to care for young children. Additionally, being raised by my grandparents taught me firsthand the joys and challenges of caring for seniors, shaping my empathetic and respectful approach. These personal experiences, combined with my professional dedication, make me a trustworthy and skilled caregiver. From a young age, I embraced the responsibility of looking after children in my extended family. Babysitting my cousins while still in high school taught me not only how to manage their needs but also how to create a nurturing and safe environment. These early experiences instilled in me a natural affinity for caring for babies, which has only grown over the years. As someone who understands the special bond between humans and animals, I am deeply committed to providing attentive and loving care for pets. My flexible work schedule and remote lifestyle enable me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. What sets me apart as a caregiver is the foundation of family values that shaped my lifeGrowing up in a large family and being surrounded by different generations taught me to appreciate the beauty of caregiving at every stage of life. Whether it was babysitting my younger cousins or helping my grandparents with daily tasks, I learned early on the importance of patience, empathy, and responsibility. These experiences not only prepared me to care for others but also gave me a genuine passion for helping families, pets, and seniors thrive. Caregiving is more than just a role for me—it is a way of life shaped by my upbringing and personal values. I bring a wealth of experience, unwavering dedication, and a warm, nurturing approach to every caregiving situation. By choosing me, you’re not just hiring a caregiver—you’re inviting someone into your family who will treat your loved ones with the same love, respect, and attentiveness I’ve offered my own family throughout my life. Whether it’s a baby’s laughter, a pet’s wagging tail, or a senior’s smile, I am committed to creating moments of joy and comfort for those in my care.

Amazing dog sitter! So great with dogs and goes above and beyond to help out.

Jennifer 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Jenny and I am originally from Seattle but I lived in Boston for 10 years and now in Brooklyn for the last 3 years. I am a professional vocalist and perform for high end wedding and events in the city and country. Caring for others and making someone else's day or week a little bit easier makes me happy. I want to live in a world where people are caring, emphatic, and create real connections with each other. I've been baby sitting and helping others since I was a kid - I nannied for 2 boys in Newton, MA for about a year after college (ages 2 and 6). Any after school pickup, homework help, and dinner help - I'm your girl! If your child is at all interested in music, I would love to be a part of that. I love all animals and I feel comfortable cleaning, cooking, and driving. I have a clean driving record, a safe car (subaru) and a caring bubbly demeanor. I haven't been in childcare for a while because I've been professionally singing most of the time but I love the brooklyn community and figured I could get involved again in my own neighborhood.

Jennifer is fantastic! She is extremely professional and reliable, and I had no issues leaving her with my daughter. She was able to handle dinner and bedtime with our toddler, and was great in their playful interactions. I highly recommend Jennifer!

Booked by 7 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi, my name is Alejandra, i’m 22 years old. I love working with children because I enjoy their company, as it allows me to be creative, learn from them and help them grow in a safe and fun environment. In addition, I believe that my communication skills and patience allow me to build a relationship of trust with children and their parents. My responsibilities included drive, cook, do crafts and different activities with the children. Additionally, I work as a household, performing tasks such as cooking, cleaning and running errands.

Alejandra is the best! Positive, fun, so kind, organized... my kid liked her immediately and had so much fun 💓 Now I just wished she lived a little closer 😄

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
