Hello, My name is Skylar however I go by Sky. I am currently a student at borough of Manhattan community college. I’m looking for a permanent family to work with along with part time positions. I have been babysitting younger family members from ages 1-5 for almost 4 years. Also with experience as a summer camp counselor. I have a lovely puppy named mason whom I’ve been taking care of my whole life. I love animals and I’m very open to pet care. I am very energetic and detail oriented, so along with caretaking I can clean and do other minimal house tasks to ensure a smooth flow throughout the day.

**ACTIVELY SEEKING GIGS - SUMMER/FALL 2026** HEY! I'm Harrison. I’m actively looking for gigs in the Fall and beyond. I'm available for logistic-satisfying hangs, orchestrating grand adventures, date night coverage, and more. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, would love to connect! A little about me— I moved to Brooklyn ~5 years ago to manage a giant rock climbing gym. I've worked with kids a ton in climbing gyms over the last 10 years, from running summer camps to making birthday parties awesome. After leaving my role last year, I transitioned to sitting/nannying in an attempt to reclaim joy in my work life-- and it's been a blast so far. I like climbing, games (video, board, word, active, other), telling riddles + jokes (ask me about street sweepers!) building things, cooking, soccer, swimming, and riding my bike excessive distances. I went to school for film, and I used to be a producer on a PBS show-- I still love filming/editing fun videos with the kids I sit for (*movie magic*)! I'm CPR / first aid certified and generally skilled at balancing fun and safety in childcare settings. I'm a skilled driver, though I do not currently own a car. Beyond just sitting, I'm happy to support with: -homework help! I used to student teach / tutor English back in high school, and I am generally math-proficient. -meal prep! I chef 95% of my apartmenthold's meals right now, and I love to cook. -climbing! Wanna learn the ropes or just give it a try? I'm your guy. -pet care! I live with 3 cats (1 mine, 2 my girlfriend’s) and I care for dogs of friends & clients regularly. Hope to hear from you!

Harrison was amazing. I’m not sure we have ever had a babysitter whom our kids warmed up to as quickly as Harrison. They were tired and punchy but Harrison quickly got their attention and engaged them with his (literal) bag of tricks. It was no big deal when we snuck out the door to dinner. When our kids woke up in the morning, they were so eager to tell us about all the fun they had. We don’t live in NYC but wish we could clone Harrison where we live because our kiddos responded so well to him. If you’re thinking of booking Harrison for your next babysitting job, don’t hesitate another second!

We're so happy that we connected with Dawnn to care for our 16mo old daughter while we were at a wedding. She did a fabulous job with a challenging caregiving situation: it was the first time our daughter had done bedtime without us other than one dinner out when she was 5wks old, she was in an entirely new state, was in a hotel room without a separate bedroom, and our daughter usually contact naps and nurses to sleep at bedtime. We appreciated the cute video of dinnertime, heard great things back from the lobby staff about how much fun it looked like they were having together and came home to a soundly sleeping baby. When our daughter had woken up a little after initially falling asleep and was worried that we weren't there Dawnn did a great job comforting her, figuring out what she thought might help and reaching out to us for a quick call to reassure our daughter that she could go back to bed and we'd be home soon. Thanks Dawnn! You made this evening fun and easy for us :)

I am a 23 year old college student studying to become a child psychologist. I have had 6+ years of experience with children. I have worked with 20+ kids at Mill Basin Day Camp and I have also done many other babysitting jobs. My patience is out of this world which is very important when working with kids and I am also very creative and fun which I think they enjoy! I have worked with kids with learning disabilities, and psychological disorders so I am experienced in being able to help kids who may have complications with independently completing certain tasks or may require different child care approaches. Because I am studying to be a child psychologist I believe that I understand children on a deeper level and I connect with them, and communicate with them which is very important for their physical and mental well being.

I have been in child care for 13 years I worked for an on-call babysitting service where I was a loved/preferred sitter for 47 families. I have a driver’s license, full background search and excellent references. I have been with my current family for 2 years. The child is getting ready to start school so I am looking for a new full-time or 2 part-time families to work with. My daily responsibilities are getting the him ready, taking him to different activities, feeding him lunch, nap and then indoor playing, reading and painting. While he naps I prep bottles and food, do his laundry and tidy up. I also work with 4 other families for nights and weekends, as needed.

Kristy has been a caretaker for me for almost two years. I found her through a friend's recommendation rather than through UrbSit. Since I'm a working single mom, she's worked for me 5 days a week, and occasionally done overnights and even travel sitting. She is amazing. Reliable, punctual, an incredibly hard worker, and it's clear she genuinely cares about my son. I trust her with him as much as I trust myself. It's a shame I won't be able to keep her 5 days/week, but I'm happy to be a reference for anyone else who wants to hire her. You should hire her! She's gold.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
