Kayla $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a Registered Nurse with over 3.5 years of experience working in a Level 1 Trauma Emergency Department. Before beginning my nursing career, I spent more than 10 years caring for children of all ages through babysitting, nannying, and as a swim instructor. I’m a kind, warm, patient, and dependable caregiver who loves creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, or helping with homework, I enjoy building meaningful connections with every family I work with. Safety is always my top priority. I am CPR certified and hold both BLS (Basic Life Support) and ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) certifications. I’m happy to help beyond childcare as well, including: - Light housekeeping and tidying - Children’s laundry - Meal and snack preparation - Running errands - Arts and crafts - Outdoor activities and active play I’m reliable, organized, energetic, and genuinely love working with children. I look forward to becoming someone your family can trust and depend on!

Hunter $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! NYC/JC preferred, unless transportation is provided (or walkable from train) as I do not drive. I have experience - just over 2 years now! - as an afterschool teaching assistant for elementary school in NYC, grades K-5. It’s something I absolutely love, as chaotic as it can be! We go through snack time, many different kinds of classes, and free choice time, so I am very adaptable and can work through transitions and different activities. I also have 2+ years experience dog and cat sitting - in case there’s any beloved pets in the house that need cuddles, food, or walks! I have no problem staying late for bedtime, cooking, doing laundry, transport, or any cleanup (and, as long as they’re old enough, I’d be happy to involve your kiddo and help develop those skills themselves too)! I have been teaching cooking classes in our program as well, if that’s also a skill you’d like to begin at home. I’m in NJ now, but am perfectly good commuting in as I usually do, since I grew up in the city and currently work there! It would be a pleasure to continue where I love everything about the city and make some new little friends along the way!

My name is Emmy, and I live in Stuytown. I graduated from Amherst College two years ago and moved to the city. Since then, I've found myself missing spending time with children. I've been babysitting and nannying for most of my teenage and adult years. I have experience nannying for elementary schoolers and middle schoolers, as well as babysitting for children of all ages. I'm also comfortable watching pets, especially dogs. I'm originally from Seattle. I love cooking, animals, crafts, and yoga. I majored in Political Science and Computer Science at Amherst College. I'm currently working for a software company. I'd love to help care for your kids in the evenings and on the weekends.

Elielle $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Elielle and I’m a mom to a 16 year old teenage boy. I have over 20+ years babysitting my younger cousins, siblings and as well as taking care of my son. I also have 17 year experience working in the healthcare field which range from Longterm care facility, Hospital as well as an Urgent Care Center. As a mom who worked the evening shift for 5 years, I know very well how stressful it can be when it came to finding someone to help during those after school hours while I still had to report to work. I am here to help and I’m looking forward to working with you soon!

"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."
