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 😄”

Booked by 7 families in Long Island City, NY

Hello parent, I think I will be a great choice to take care of your child, I have been babysitting starting at a young age and have babysat for groups as big as 10 children. I am more available nights and flexible schedules.

“We hired Veronica for a summer to help our 2 y/o transition from being with mom full time to starting 2K in the fall. We’re only sad we didn’t find her sooner! We love Veronica’s patient and calm energy, she was so nurturing and attentive to our child’s development, and she was proactively helpful in other areas of our child’s care without needing to be asked. She was perfectly punctual, responsive and communicative, and accommodating of our hectic schedule. Our kid loves her so much and asks about her all the time now that the summer routine is ended. We always look forward to having Veronica back to babysit regularly!”

Ana 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ana and I am a warm, reliable, and energetic nanny with experience caring for children of different ages. I love creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and truly enjoy their time with me. I enjoy activities such as reading stories, pretend play, arts and crafts, hide-and-seek, outdoor adventures, and trips to the park. My goal is to create fun, positive, and meaningful experiences while helping children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I can also assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, cooking for children, organizing play areas, running errands, and accompanying children to appointments or activities when needed. I speak Spanish and have a basic to intermediate level of English. I would also be happy to help children learn or practice Spanish in a fun and natural way.

“Ana is an excellent person, very charismatic and patient with children and people in general. She is a trustworthy person dedicated to her work with great respect and efficiency.”

Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi there. My name is Galia. I am a patient, empathetic and energetic caregiver, offering child care, pet care and home sitting services. I am a copywriter currently looking for work, and happy to help families in the mean time. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15. But most of my experience is from the 3 years I spent as a part-time babysitter during my time at the University of Florida. I was also an after school care teacher for groups of 15+ children of all ages, for 1 year. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter on and off since 2019. These roles often involved helping children complete homework, bed time, play time, making lunch and school pick ups and drop offs. Additionally, I love cats, and I grew up with dogs, so I am more than capable of caring for them both. Plus, I speak Spanish.

"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)."
