Booked by 1 family in Woodside, NY

Hi - I'm Lila and I'm a born and raised New Yorker spending my summer in the city before starting at University of St. Andrews in Scotland in September. I'm offering part-time child and/or pet care, along with light housekeeping. I love kids and have previous experience babysitting ages 3-9 years old. I grew up attending a local private school, and I'm experienced with the after-school pick-up and lesson commute! I like doing creative activities with kids - playing, reading, dancing, and arts & crafts. (When working as a docent in a museum I worked with kids and created a museum scavenger hunt!). I'm also a cat lover and owner with significant feline experience. I can also work with families with dogs.

“Lila is very knowledgeable about cat and we have great first impression about her.”

Maya $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Maya, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I was born in New York, grew up in California, and have been back in New York for the past seven years. I started babysitting in college and quickly realized how much I love helping kids learn, play, and grow. I come from a big family, so I’ve had lots of hands-on experience with little ones—including my 3-year-old brother and many younger cousins that I’ve proudly helped care for over the years. I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, and I always treat children with the same care and attention I would want for my own family. I’m a non-smoker, enjoy spending time outside, and love getting creative with arts and crafts. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or simply being a kind and reliable presence, I take pride in making every day positive for both kids and parents. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position and would be excited to become a trusted part of your family’s support system!

Carolyn $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Woodside, NY

Hello! My name is Carolyn and I'm a multidisciplinary artist, arts educator, and babysitter based in Brooklyn. My background encompasses creative direction, childcare, and community programming. My passion for nurturing young minds through creativity and play has grown through my work in artist residencies, where I regularly taught children’s evening art classes — designing hands-on projects that encouraged curiosity, confidence, and self-expression. I’m passionate about getting children off of screens and using their hands. I bring warmth, patience, and emotional intelligence to my childcare approach, creating safe, engaging environments where children can explore their imagination while developing important skills. My goal is to build meaningful, long-term relationships with families as a trusted caretaker, mentor, and creative guide. Experience age-wise ranges from children 6 months-10 years old. References available upon request.

Booked by 2 families in Woodside, NY

I have almost 10 years of childcare experience. I have a B.A. from SDSU in Psychology with a focus in child development. I am a preschool/afterschool program teacher working with infants up to school-age. I have two years of prior experience as an in-home development specialist, leading play-based therapy for families with children ages 0-3 who needed a little extra support or those with developmental delays. I assessed milestones and implemented goals based on their overall development abilities - focusing on fine/gross motor, cognitive, communication skills, and more. I additionally have experience working with children with special needs and developmental disabilities such as down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, children with feeding needs/allergies, and SMA type 1. I have active CPR, First Aid, and mandated reporter certificates in CA, and strong references upon request. Fun facts about me: I am a musician, I am a triplet, and I fluently speak Italian and some Spanish. I am a proud owner of two cats and I love animals and the outdoors. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you!!

Chris $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello All, My name is Chris and my experience is vast when it comes to children and child's play. I've mastered the fine art of herding cats—also known as teaching at a Montessori school. There, I became a connoisseur of child-sized furniture and The Montessori techniques. Learning to listen to kids and teaching and meeting them where they are. When I'm not busy turning chaos into calm, you'll find me performing as a party performer at kids' parties, transforming into everything from a pirate to superheros, keeping the little ones entertained for hours. As a professional actor, as seen on Netflix and Amazon, I’m always ready to dive into make-believe with any willing child, whether it’s leading a daring quest for hidden treasure or hosting a royal tea party. Basically, I'm a professional fun-haver, dedicated to making kids' days a little brighter and a lot more magical!

"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)."
