Cenae $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Cenae 😊 I’m a caring, dependable nanny with over four years of hands-on childcare experience, and working with children has always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for kids ranging from infants to school-aged children, and I truly enjoy being involved in their day-to-day routines, growth, and development. I have strong experience with infants and toddlers, including bottle feeding, diaper changes, supervised naps, tummy time, and engaging play. I’m very attentive to babies’ cues and focus on creating a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Families I’ve worked with often describe me as patient, gentle, and naturally good with children. In addition to my professional nannying experience, I come from a large family with several younger siblings, so caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I take my role seriously and treat every child I care for with the same love and attention I would want for my own family. I value open communication with parents and enjoy working with families who see their nanny as a trusted part of their child’s care. I’m someone parents can feel confident relying on, and I always strive to create a positive, supportive environment for both children and parents. I’m currently looking for a part-time or full-time position and would love to connect with families looking for attentive, loving care for their little ones.

Shellie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Shellie, a caring, energetic, and flexible caregiver with 10+ years of experience working with kids from being a full-time nanny, summer camp counselor, and occasional babysitting. I have most of my experience working with toddlers and young children ages (2-10 years old), and kids with ADHD, selective mutism, and anxiety disorders. I’m currently a graduate student studying child psychology. I’m currently a nanny to a family with children ages 3 and 10 years old. This summer, I’m looking for a family to work with while school is out, and if you’re interested into the school year. I started babysitting when I was 16 years old and haven’t stopped working with kids as I love it so much! When I was an undergrad student I worked as a full-time nanny for 3+ years providing weekday care for a family with children ages 4, 6, and 8. In addition to supporting their daily school schedules and extracurriculars, I planned fun activities at home like various arts and crafts projects, scavenger hunts, and dance parties to outings to the aquarium, the beach and museums. I also completed household tasks like meal prep, grocery shopping, laundry, tidying up and general housekeeping. More about me: Born and raised in Miami Beach, FL, I love spending time outdoors playing soccer, cooking healthy homemade meals, and indulging in painting, baking, playing guitar, and reading.

Mary Ellis $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 23-year-old recent NYU grad school graduate, originally from Alabama and a proud SMU alum. I just completed my Masters in Accounting and am pursuing a CPA license. I’m outgoing, friendly, and dependable, with a strong work ethic and a natural ability to connect with kids. I’ve been babysitting throughout my life and have experience with children of all ages! I love staying active and engaged— whether that’s going on walks, playing tennis, or doing Pilates—and I bring that same energy when caring for kids. I’m patient, organized, attentive, and always focused on creating a fun and safe environment. I’m currently based in NYC and have a full-time role starting in October, so I’m looking to support a family in the meantime. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to help both in and outside the home.

"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."
