Hi! My name is Ruby, I’m 23 years old and live on the Upper West Side. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 16 and have over 3 years of experience as an American Red Cross–certified lifeguard, with strong training in water safety, CPR, and first aid. I currently work part-time at a swim school with children of various ages, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, keeping kids engaged, and ensuring a safe, fun environment. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy building trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I’m happy to help with light meal prep, homework, bedtime routines, and anything else that helps your family run smoothly. I’m looking to support families who need an extra, reliable set of hands and would love to connect!

Ruby was amazing! She was professional, reliable and very interactive and attentive with our 1.5 year old. Will definitely book again!

Hi families! As a formal and reserved childcare professional with +8years of experience, I'm dedicated to supporting families by providing reliable childcare services. My passion for positively impacting children's lives stems from my previous babysitting roles, where I discovered my aptitude for nurturing and caring for young minds. When it comes to communication with parents, I adapt to their preferred method, ensuring open and effective dialogue about their child's day and any concerns that may arise. My approach to household rules is guided by the parents' lead, respecting their parenting style and values. I thrive in engaging children through various games and activities, from outdoor sports and physical games to board games and puzzles. My graduate degree has equipped me with a strong educational background that complements my childcare skills. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and have experience with a wide range of age groups, from toddlers to preteens.

She’s amazing!! I have known her for a long time and she’s a very trustworthy and responsible person! She’s great with kids.

Hi everyone - My name is Yoselin, and I’m a student at Queens College. I’m offering childcare, dog care, and cleaning services. I’ve been babysitting children aged 6 months to 10 years old for over three years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects), crafts, and even given dance lessons because, as a fun fact, I’m a collegiate dancer with training in various genres. I’ve also dog-sited and house-sited before. I’m currently caring for a delightful ten-month-old and one-year-old but I am on the lookout for more gigs :) • I can provide references !

Yoselin has watched Walter several times and has been a great sitter. She is reliable, caring, attentive, and easy to work with. Walter is always comfortable with her, and we feel confident leaving him in her care. We would gladly hire her again.

"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)."
