Book Your Nanny Today ✦The word 'babysitter' might sound casual — but in New York City, the stakes are always high. Whether you need someone for a few hours on a Friday evening or recurring weekday afternoons, you deserve a caregiver who has been properly checked, certified, and selected for the right reasons.
At NYC Nanny Care, every babysitter in our network holds a current CPR and First Aid certification, has passed a comprehensive background check, and has been personally interviewed by our team. We serve Manhattan families from Chelsea to the Upper East Side, and we're known for responding fast — most families hear back within 2 hours and are confirmed within 24–48 hours.
Families book us as their weekend babysitter, their evening and date night sitter, and their emergency and last-minute babysitting service when plans change — same-day cover is often possible, with the same vetted, CPR-certified caregivers every time.

Our babysitters bring the same level of professionalism and preparation to a 4-hour evening session as a full-time nanny brings to a week of care. You'll never wonder whether the person looking after your child has been properly checked — because they always have.
We encourage babysitters to familiarize themselves with your child's routine, preferences, and any specific needs before the session begins.
Arts and crafts, music, reading, outdoor time — sessions are engaged and active, not screen-based. Your child will be genuinely entertained.
Our babysitters keep parents updated throughout — a quick message to say how things are going, so you can relax knowing everything's fine.
After the session, your babysitter will give you a brief rundown of the evening — what your child ate, activities they enjoyed, how bedtime went.
