Sofia $25 per hour for 1 child

Working with children has been a meaningful part of my life for the past 7 years, and it's something I genuinely love and feel passionate about. I focus on building trust with both children and parents, and I always aim to create a calm, nurturing, and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I am CPR and First Aid trained. I previously worked at Primrose School, where I gained valuable experience in early childhood development and supporting children's social and emotional growth. Outside of work, I am currently in school studying sonography, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and understanding of health and safety. I love incorporating crafts, reading, outdoor play, and hands on activities into my time with children.

Lucia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Lucia and I’m a student attending Caldwell University. I come from a big family and have four younger brothers, who I’ve cared for. I began babysitting when I was 14 years old and have experience with infants up to the age of 15. I've cared for up to five children in the past, but I prefer babysitting two or three children at a time. Some of my responsibilities have included, bath time, bottle feeding, burping, playtime, reading, playing outside, arts and crafts, painting, meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, driving to/from school, play dates, homework help and tutoring. I have some experience with potty training. I am fully vaccinated (including booster) and willing to show proof. Thank you.

Liana $20 per hour for 1 child

Currently working for a daycare mainly with toddlers (2-3) but often moved to infants all the way to preschool. Looking for an easier environment (20 2y/os is definitely a lot). I’m great with understanding children’s emotions and helping with development and regulating feeling. I’ve got a lot of energy to keep up with the fun things especially going outdoors to parks, on trips and making up fun games on rainy days. I’d love to work with one child as much as I’d be glad to work with three. I can easily commute around Manhattan as I live one stop in the train from Penn which only takes me 10-15 minutes and I’m well versed with the city.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
