Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sophie, and by day I work as an advocate counselor at a High School in Manhattan, which I have been doing for three years (I love it)! In my job, clear communication, trust, and honesty are integral. I work to keep kids engaged, on track, motivated, and to build their confidence. With that comes lots of chatting and working to make connections. I have been babysitting since I was in High School, and I have taken care of kids ages 2 months to 8 years old. Most of my babysitting has been with babies sustaining long-term relationships with families, and watching these babies grow into toddlers. I’m an avid sports fan, I play the New York Times games daily, and I’m always willing to try something new. My friends and family would describe me as outgoing, loyal, honest, and having a strong sense of humor! Clear communication, established boundaries, and fun are at the core of my work. I look forward to connecting, and thank you for entrusting me with your littles!

Emerita D 2 reviews
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Harrison, NJ

Hello, my name is Emerita. I am 36 years old. I have two children, 16 and 11 years I love children I am very sweet and patient with them I like to read books, play, take them to the park. I have 3 years of experience and worked with 2 families, in a daycare also I can help with light cleaning . I have a driver's license and CPR&AID

“Emerita is an amazing nanny, and our family very fortunate to have found her. Our son had only known one nanny for all 3.5 years of his life and at that age was not taking too kindly to new people. However, when his first nanny went home overseas, Emerita was able to quickly and successfully take over what was quite a demanding job at the time: 6 days/week, 10 hours a day watching after our very active son including extensive trips away from the house at parks, beaches, the city, etc. Highly trustworthy, very friendly, and very adaptable to children....we strongly recommend Emerita for anyone seeking a nanny who is willing to adapt to your schedule and manage highly demanding toddlers.”

Sila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sila, I am 29 years old. I completed a degree in Preschool Education in my country, and after graduating I came to the United States through the Au Pair program to care for children. My favorite age group is infants, babies and toddlers, and I have extensive experience with them. I was an Au Pair for a baby from 2 months to 15 months old and his 2-year-old sister for a year, but I was taking care of the newborn and the responsibility was on me all day-full time. Morning and night routines, preparing meals, giving him baths, taking him outside, transferring to solid foods, helping with motor skill, burping him, feeding on schedule and creating a calm environment for his growth -everything was my responsibility. We enjoyed going to the park, doing puzzles, visiting the library, making rock and leaf collections, reading picture books together, playing with sensory toys, and encouraging crawling and walking. After my Au Pair year, I cared for an 18-month-old toddler for 1.5 years, until she started school. I gained experience with potty training, sleep training, preparing a variety of different meals, doing activities with her, and participating in various events. Also we enjoyed playing with princess toys and Barbies, going to the park, having playdates at the library, baking cookies, coloring, and playing with playdough. Most recently, I cared for a baby from 5 months to 14 months old. My responsibilities included preparing bottles and healthy meals, introducing solid foods, maintaining feeding and nap schedules, diaper changes, baths, developmental play, outdoor walks, and supporting important milestones such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also worked part-time or one time job for a lot of families, and in my home country I worked in both a kindergarten and a daycare. I love cooking and can prepare different kinds of healthy meals for children. I have completed CPR and First Aid training( American Red Cross), and I have a valid driver's license. I can provide references from my Au Pair family and the most recent family I worked for. I am fully vaccinated (Flu, Tdap, and COVID vaccines). I am also happy to help with light housework and to support mothers. I don't smoke, and I love animals.

Lauren $25 per hour for 1 child

I have 4 years of experience. I can help with Light Housekeeping and Errands. I have both a first aid and CPR certification. (I am certified in both infant and adult CPR.) I am good with pets, and can assist with those as well (if needed.) A little about me- I am 18 years old, and currently live in Chelsea. I have another part-time nanny job that leaves the hours of 8:30-5:00 fully open for me on school days. I am the oldest child, and have one younger brother who is 16. I have been working as a front desk receptionist at a hair salon since June 2023. I love getting to meet new people, and listen to their stories and experiences! In my free time, I love to read, go for walks with my dogs, bake, hang out with friends, visit with my grandparents, and also organize spaces! I am often referenced as the 'grandma' of my friend group as I like to go to bed early, wake up early, and would rather stay in and read a good book than go out. I have been babysitting/nannying for almost 8 years now, and really enjoy it.

"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."
