Jocelyn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Jocelyn! I’m currently a college student at Baruch College. My services include child care, dog and pet care. My experience with taking care of kids go way back to when I was taking care of younger relatives since I was around 10. I’m currently a chaperone for 2 kids on Saturdays and watching them do their online tutoring. I can practically do everything you need for child care! I mainly do pickup from school to home or to an afterschool activity but no at home sitting. I am also a math tutor so I can do tutoring at the library with your child if needed! As for pet experience, I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of family pets (mostly dogs) and making sure they’re fed on time, walking them, and making sure they’re happy overall!

Olga $40 per hour for 1 child

My name is Olga, and I’m a dedicated and nurturing mother of three amazing teenagers, whom I’ve raised to be respectful, intelligent, kind, and independent. Parenting has been the most rewarding journey of my life, and it has shaped my deep passion for working with children. Through firsthand experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of children's emotional, social, and educational needs. I am fluent in English, Russian, Spanish, and Hebrew, which gives me the unique ability to communicate and connect with children and families from many different cultural backgrounds. I strongly believe that every child is unique and has incredible potential. I take great joy in helping children discover their strengths and talents, whether it’s through creative activities, academic support, or simply spending quality time together. I am an outgoing, energetic person who loves to plan fun and meaningful activities for kids. I enjoy taking children on nature hikes, organizing outdoor games, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, and engaging them in cooking and baking. I believe these hands-on experiences not only teach valuable life skills but also build confidence and creativity. Being responsible and dependable is something I take very seriously. As a parent myself, I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for children. I treat every child in my care as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, and respect. I bring not only my love for children but also my life experience, multilingual skills, and positive energy to everything I do. I am truly passionate about helping children grow into the best version of themselves.

Priya 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Priya and I’m 18. I don’t have any paid babysitting experience yet, but I really love being around babies, especially infants. I’m super gentle, patient, and I’m happy to help with things like feeding, diaper changes, or bath time. I’m also totally fine following whatever routine you already have. I’m just here to make things easier and keep your baby happy and comfortable. I’m available part time, and I’d love to help out if you need someone!

“Priya is very good with kids especially babies. She babysit a friend’s baby once and did a very good job. The baby was feed, cleaned and in a good mood.”

Eleni 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Douglaston, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Eleni, and I’m a recent graduate of Syracuse University. I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I have over two years of babysitting experience with children ages 2 to 15. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, as well as household and dog care! Over the past two years, I’ve helped several families throughout NY with everything from homework and school projects to arts and crafts, Spanish lessons, and bedtime routines. This past year, I also regularly babysat for two families on weekends and weekday evenings while working my full-time job. I’m very outgoing, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with kids! I enjoy getting to know their personalities and interests, whether that means playing games, building Legos, or getting creative with crafts. Having grown up in NYC, I’m also very comfortable navigating the city and using public transportation. I also have experience with dog sitting and house sitting and am happy to provide references upon request! 😊 Please feel free to reach out. I’d love to get to know you and your family!

“Last week, I booked Eleni to watch my 10 year old son and we were both immediately taken by her warmth and friendliness. She arrived early and was enthusiastic about who my child is and all of the things he's interested in. Eleni was a perfect solution to a last minute child care on a friday night. We will be happy to book again in the future :)”
