Booked by 2 families in Yonkers, NY

Hi! My name is Farida and I'm currently a sophomore studying Biology at Lehman College. I'm offering child care and would love to join your family. I have several years of experience caring for my younger cousins while my aunt was away visiting family back home. I took care of them day to day, so I'm comfortable stepping into a real household routine, not just short visits. I'm responsible, patient, and caring, and I'll always do my best to fit into your family's routine, whether that's meals, homework, bedtime, or playtime. I'm happy to follow your rules and preferences. Feel free to message me with any questions. I'd love to meet you and your kids.

Booked by 4 families in Yonkers, NY

Hello! I’m Eloïse. I’m an NYC raised college student studying architecture, originally born in France. I have 6 years of experience providing reliable, responsible, and engaging childcare and pet care across the city, and I can provide local references upon request. What I can bring to your family: • Languages: I’m a fluent French speaker and I love introducing kids to new languages through games and casual conversation! • Academic Support: Because of my architecture studies, I am incredibly organized and detail oriented. I love providing structured homework help and tutoring. • Creative Fun: I enjoy designing arts & crafts projects, organizing activities, and planning fun, educational outings around the city. • Daily Logistics: I’m super comfortable with school pick-ups, meal prep, and light housework to keep your home running smoothly. A little more about me: - I love reading, playing the piano, and making jewelry! - I live in Manhattan with my Australian Shepherd and tabby cat. - I’m pursuing my degree in architecture with a long term goal of specializing in historical preservation design and adaptive reuse. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting and petsitting jobs or a part-time, long-term position with a kind family. If you think we’d be a good fit, please reach out!

“We had a large number of interested sitters for our job, but Eloise stood out immediately with her confident, personal introduction as well as her clear communication in sorting out the details with us. She came by for a meet & greet with the cats and it was a definite fit…they both like her! Eloise followed our instructions perfectly and provided those invaluable ‘proof of life’ photos that every anxious pet parent likes to see. She gave a brief summary of her interactions with the cats and a litter box report (we asked for that last one). We feel that our cats were in the best possible hands with Eloise and are thrilled to offer our wholehearted recommendation for her services!”

Chloe 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Chloe, and I would love to help you and your family. I have a passion for working with children and helping parents be the most present and happy as they can be in the times that matter most. A child's imagination is the most precious, sacred thing in my eyes, and I take fostering that imagination as my own personal mission. I've been working with kids ever since I could remember, as the daughter of a dance teacher and therefore unofficial assistant instructor. In high school, I worked as a party princess, solidifying my passion for working with children with the added benefit of knowing every word to every princess song ever. With a solid arsenal of artistic skills in nearly all mediums, I love to plan arts activities with kids abilities and interests in mind that leave them feeling empowered and competent. I also love taking children out on excursions led by what sparks their curiosity. My M.O. is to instill a love for learning, inner confidence, and resilient spirit that stays with children for life. For me, that starts with making sure they feel seen, supported, and respected. Outside of childcare, I am also a multidisciplinary artist, working with photography, performance, comedy, writing, music, sculpture, and anything I can get my hands on, really. I just graduated from DePaul in Chicago, earning a 3.96 GPA while PT nannying and managing freelance photography gigs. I'm currently available for families within the city as well as in Bergen County, Fairfield County, Rockland County Westchester County, and Hudson County.

“I enthusiastically recommend Chloe as a nanny or babysitter! She was our part time nanny from August 2025 through June 2026, caring for our three children (ages 3 to 10) after school and our new baby when she arrived in December. Chloe was everything we could have hoped for in a nanny - she is extremely reliable, punctual, and responsible but also incredibly playful and imaginative. Our children span a wide range of ages and she handled each of their individual needs and personalities with ease. She could talk Zelda strategy with our older kids and help them with their homework while playing dress up and singing Frozen songs with our toddler! She managed daily after school drop-offs and pick-ups for us, drove our car confidently in city traffic, helped with snacks and meal prep, and kept our lives running smoothly throughout the year. She was very supportive of our family rules regarding screen time limits and was rarely if ever on her phone while supervising our children. She was also comfortable with our dog and helped to care for her as well! When our new baby arrived, Chloe didn't have much previous experience with infants, but she was eager to learn. By the end of her time with us she was comfortably handling all aspects of baby care, including diaper changes, naptime, feeding, schedules, and more. She was also very interested in supporting our baby's development as she grew out of the newborn stage! Beyond managing our daily routines, Chloe encouraged our children to be creative and regularly took the initiative to set them up with art projects tailored to their individual interests. We still have some of them on display around our home! She is also very musical, highly energetic, and just plain fun to be around. We were so sad when Chloe moved away — she definitely made a big impression on our children, and we all miss her terribly. Any family would be lucky to have her!”

Nicole 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Yonkers, NY

Hi! I’m Nicole, a caring, dependable, and energetic 20-year-old college student who genuinely enjoys working with children. I first gained childcare experience at 16 through a SYEP after-school program, where I helped supervise and engage children in fun, age-appropriate activities while creating a safe and positive environment. I’ve also spent years caring for my younger cousins and have provided babysitting services for two families with children ranging from ages 1-6 and 4-11. These experiences have strengthened my patience, responsibility, creativity, and ability to connect with children of different ages and personalities. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun while making them feel safe, supported, and cared for. I currently work as a certified lifeguard, supervising children of all ages and ensuring their safety every day. I’m CPR, First Aid, AED, and Lifeguard certified, so you can feel confident knowing your children are in capable hands. Staying calm under pressure, being attentive, and responding quickly are skills I bring to every family I work with. Whether it’s arts and crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, homework help, bedtime routines, or simply being a positive role model, I love creating a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also happy to prepare meals and snacks, help with light housekeeping, organize play areas, and support your family’s daily routine however I can. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and currently attend a Medical Assistant program in Manhattan (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.), so I’m primarily available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while making sure their children feel safe, happy, and excited every time I’m with them. I’d love the opportunity to become a dependable, caring, and positive part of your family’s support system.

“Nicole cared for my children, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. She is dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. She was always patient, kind, and attentive, making sure my children felt safe, happy, and engaged throughout the day. Whether she was helping with meals, playing games, reading, or keeping them on their routines, she handled everything with care and professionalism. Nicole is also an excellent communicator and always kept me updated if needed. She is punctual, trustworthy, and someone I could rely on. My children looked forward to spending time with her because she created a fun and positive environment while still maintaining structure and safety. I highly recommend Nicole to any family looking for a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter. She has a natural ability to connect with children, and I know she will be a wonderful caregiver for any family.”

"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)."
