Glory 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Woodhaven, NY

Hi - My name is Glory and I'm currently a graduate student at Columbia. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am happy to work with families with dogs.

I highly recommend Glory as a babysitter. She has worked with my family in the past and consistently demonstrated a high level of responsibility, warmth, and professionalism. Glory is incredibly attentive and patient with children. She is able to create a calm, engaging environment while also maintaining structure and safety. Whether it’s helping with routines, organizing activities, or simply being present and attentive, she brings a thoughtful and caring approach to everything she does. What stands out most is her reliability and communication. She is always punctual, responsive, and proactive in updating me, which gave me a strong sense of trust and peace of mind.

Genevieve $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Evie, a Clinical Research Coordinator at Mount Sinai, where I work full-time in medical research. I've been nannying and babysitting for years and have experience caring for children ranging from infants to middle schoolers in both full-time and part-time roles. I love planning fun activities, getting kids outside, doing crafts, reading books, helping with homework, and creating a safe, engaging environment where they can have fun and thrive. I'm CPR certified, dependable, organized, and currently available for evenings and weekends in NYC.

Marjon $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I'm MJ, or you can call me Miss MJ if you'd like. I'm a super fun and youthful babysitter who loves to make playtime extra special for the kids I take care of. I believe in the power of engaging activities and creating a nurturing environment where children can explore their creativity and have a blast. I've had the opportunity to work at two awesome daycare centers, one afterschool program, and have babysat for over four different families. Being part of a big family myself, I've been babysitting since I was a little kid, so I have experience with children of all ages. I've even had the privilege of working with children on the spectrum. I'm excited to bring my energy and vibrance into your little ones' lives. <3

Darlene $30 per hour for 1 child

I am proud to say that I have dedicated most of my young adult life to working with children. From the age of 16, I have coached kids ages 4 to 15 in the game of golf and provided therapy in a clinical setting for kids ages 4+. Currently, I am a Master's student at Columbia University studying psychology with plans to become a doctor. My goal is to continue working with children who have been victims of intrastate and global conflict. My passion for working with kids is everlasting and I am dedicated to creating a safe and fun place for them to explore their creativity. I would characterize myself as curious, empathetic, resilient, determined, adaptive, and a strong communicator. I am excited about the opportunity to take care of your children and understand the immense responsibility that comes with the task. I am open to any questions you may have about my character and abilities. Thank you!

Emily $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Emily. I'm 27, from and have been living in NYC for about 5 years. I'm in Clinton Hill/Ft. Greene. I'm currently looking for a childcare role - I have the most experience with little ones, newborn - 12mo+ . I've been working closely with a high-profile Brooklyn family since their son was born last January - starting at the newborn stage and now he's 15 months old. I still work with them as a date night sitter - I'm just looking for something with a more predictable schedule. I'm used to managing full days start to finish, including bottles and early solids, naps, sleep schedules, overnight help, and I've even traveled with them internationally. A bit about me - originally from Massachusetts, I've worked with kids for years. I taught kindergarten, worked as a sailing instructor, and have babysat consistently since high school and college. Outside of that, I love doing hot pilates and yoga and taking advantage of all that NYC has to offer. Happy to provide references!

"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."

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)."
