Booked by 24 families in Jersey City, NJ

Hi, My name is Yulia! I moved to New York in 2020, shortly after graduating from the University of San Francisco with a B.A. in psychology and focus in child development. In high school, I began volunteering with a therapeutic horsemanship for children with cognitive, developmental, and learning disabilities. This is where I developed my passion for caring for children and studying human development. I have over fifteen years of experience, including babysitting for multiple families, nannying, completing my capstone practicum as a pre-school aid, and most recently working as a behavior technician for children on the Autism Spectrum. I currently work at a medical communications agency, and I have found myself with some extra time in the evenings and on the weekends. I find children to be very entertaining and energizing and genuinely enjoy getting to know each of their personalities! I especially love being a part of their learning journey and helping them navigate new challenges in school and in life! I look forward to meeting you and your kidos!

“Yulia was professional, kind, attentive, and reliable! ”

Booked by 8 families in Jersey City, NJ

Hello! It’s a pleasure, my name is Lina! I have 4 years of babysitting experience. I’ve worked with 30+ families with children ranging from 0-10 years old through Sittercity, UrbanSitter, and local opportunities. I live in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. I’ve been around children for most of my life since my mother was a nanny for 20+ years. I’m also a mother to an adorable 3 year old. I consider myself a kind, reliable, responsible, and attentive individual. I’m currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, as I have a passion for working with children. I’m bilingual, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I'm also CPR, First Aid & AED certified. I’m available for occasional evening/date night opportunities. Thank you!

“My husband and I had the pleasure of hiring Lina to babysit our four-year-old for a few hours on a Saturday evening so we could go see a movie together. We were incredibly impressed with her professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm. From the moment she arrived, she connected with our son, and we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Her background in Early Childhood Education and her experience as a mother are clearly a huge asset, as she seemed to know exactly how to engage him in a fun way. In addition to being a fantastic playmate, Lina was incredibly responsible and attentive. We truly felt that she was present and focused on his needs the entire evening.”
