Kia 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kia! I’m a 27-year-old sitter with over a decade of experience caring for kids, pets, and homes and truly love what I do. Whether I’m building forts with little ones, cuddling with your pets, or making sure your home stays just the way you left it- I bring care, calm, and a personal touch to every job. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a former lifeguard, and am available to teach swim lessons so you can count on me to keep things safe while still having fun. I’ve also worked in corporate finance, which taught me how to be dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of people’s time and space. I’ve been a pet owner myself, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m the kind of sitter who sends updates, leaves things better than I found them, and treats every child or pet like they’re part of my own circle. When I’m not working, I’m usually outside staying active, reading a good book, baking a sweet treat, or hanging out with friends. If you're looking for someone warm, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with- I’d love to connect!

Kia is thoughtful, responsible and incredibly patient. As a former teacher, I am so impressed to see how attentive and genuinely caring she is with children of all ages. I’ve seen firsthand how naturally she connects with kids and you can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with them as well. Kia is always on time and makes sure to put the children’s and parents needs first.

Booked by 3 families in Woodside, NY

My name is Joanna and I’m originally from Switzerland, Geneva (bilingual in French and English). I’m 29 years old, graduated from my master’s at NYU in International relations and international law and now work in fashion. I worked as a babysitter for the past 14 years. Since I moved to the US, I worked for many families with 1 to 5 children at the same time, and between the ages of 6 weeks old to 14 years old, in Miami, Los Angeles and New York. I babysat a family with a 6-week-old newborn and his 2-year-old brother, at the same time, for months daily. I also worked for many other families with 3 kids (from 4 to 12 years old) where I had to pick them up from school and play with them or helped them with their homework. I have a younger sister and grew up as the oldest in my family with 6 younger cousins, and grew up babysitting them regularly. I truly miss having my family here and spending time with kids- I love learning from them. I always follow and respect the family and parents’ rules and values. I look forward to meeting you and your family :)

Warm and dependable. A really lovely person and babysitter!

Arianna 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Arianna, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I am offering child care services. I have been working with children since I was 16 years old, caring for ages ranging from 3 months and older. My experience includes caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In addition to my childcare experience, I continuously volunteer with children at my church, caring for and engaging with infants, toddlers, and older children. Most recently, I worked with my professor’s 5-year-old child for a semester, where I assisted with daily care, activities, homework, and supervision. I enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for children to learn and grow. In addition to child care, I can assist with household tasks such as light cleaning, organizing, meal preparation, and running errands. I am CPR certified and currently in the process of obtaining my EMT license, which has further strengthened my commitment to safety and caregiving. I am reliable, compassionate, and dedicated to providing excellent care, and I look forward to supporting your family’s needs. 😊😊

Arianna has worked with my family a few times in the past. She is a responsible, considerate babysitter. My children were very fond of her. She was especially proficient with my 7 month old during the more hectic holiday seasons, and my toddler was absolutely smitten with her. She always kept them occupied and engaged with healthy activities, such as, taking them to the park or interactive exhibits around the city. Her experience as a babysitter for many years really shined through with the way she managed and took care of the kids and their environment. I never had to worry about them being glued to their screens whenever she was around! She was also very open to communication and feedback from my husband and I, though we rarely had anything but praise to give her. She was always professional, on time, and very reliable, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her to other parents in need of childcare!!

$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Woodside, NY

Hi! My name is Audrey, and I’m an experienced nanny and certified public school teacher with over 10 years of experience working with children in private homes and schools. I worked as a nanny while earning a B.A. in French Language and Literature in Philadelphia and again during an M.Ed program in Austin. For the last three years, I’ve worked as a French teacher both for elementary and high school students. I’m now nannying again, as well as tutoring in French. I am seeking a stable (< 30 hrs/week) nannying position, as well as occasional work, where I can become a reliable, supportive presence in a family’s life. My favorite part of this job is bonding with kids and their families. I am still in touch with many of the families I’ve worked with and really value those connections! I speak French and have lived and studied in France twice, so I would love to work with a francophone family.

Audrey looked after our 7mo old for a whole day, and was fantastic. They went out to story time at the library, walked in the park, and generally kiddo was super happy on our return. Very professional, experienced working with kids, and easy to deal with. Would absolutely book 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)."

Eric D., dad of two
