Kathleen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kathleen, and I am a sophomore at Hunter College. Throughout high school, I was a 3-sport varsity athlete (cross country, basketball, and golf) and I played several different sports growing up! My main hobby is running, and I am looking to qualify for the Boston Marathon! I love to entertain and make sure the kids are having fun! I am a very friendly person and although I love to have fun, I always want to make sure we are staying safe. I am very familiar with the kitchen and cooking a good meal. I have two sisters, one older and one younger so I am very familiar with the conflict that can arise. I also have a dog and love all pets.

Booked by 1 family in Harrison, NJ

I am punctual, hard working, and communicative! I have worked with kids as a party princess and a babysitter. I just got off a cruise ship contract where I worked with the elderly. I have also pet & house sit for animals and spaces of all kinds!

“Sophia was wonderful! She arrived on time and she brought some activities for the kids. I loved the way she engaged with them. It’s obvious she has cared for children before and that she genuinely enjoys being with them. She’s also bright and articulate. A super good role model.”

"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."
