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.”

Ash $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a reliable, attentive caregiver with several years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m also a mother, which has strengthened my patience, organization, and ability to manage routines, transitions, and emotional needs with care and consistency. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication while creating a warm, engaging environment for children. I’m comfortable with daily routines such as meals, naps, school drop-off/pick-up, homework support, playtime, and household tasks related to the children and the entire family if needed. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and respectful of family boundaries and parenting styles. Families appreciate my professionalism, punctuality, and ability to adapt quickly while keeping children happy, safe, and supported. I’m seeking a consistent role with a family who values trust, reliability, and open communication.

Anna $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna — I’m 23, originally from Ireland, and currently based in New York. I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages and I genuinely love creating a calm, fun, and safe environment for them. I’m very hands-on and enjoy planning age-appropriate activities like arts & crafts, drawing, puzzles, board games, reading, and outdoor play. I’m responsible, punctual, and very comfortable following routines, bedtime schedules, and house rules. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Management, and through my work experience I’ve developed strong communication skills, reliability, and a high level of professionalism — all things I bring into childcare as well. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as warm, trustworthy, and attentive. I’m happy to help with light tidying related to the kids, meal prep, homework support, or pet care if needed. I’m currently available for occasional, part-time, or full-time roles and would love to connect with a family looking for someone dependable and kind.

"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."
