Maha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maha, a licensed pharmacist in NYC with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from St. John’s University. I am new to this app but I have babysat and tutored kids in Math for over 10 years. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and enjoy working with kids. I’m happy to help with homework, reading, snacks and meals, playtime, activities, and bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable caring for seniors and pets. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, have a valid NY driver’s license, and have spent my career working with people and families. My background in pharmacy also means I’m very comfortable handling situations that require attention to detail and responsibility. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, riding my bike, and taking improv classes. I would love to become a reliable person your family can call when you need an extra hand.

Zoe $25 per hour for 1 child

I've been babysitting for over 10 years, starting at age eleven when I began helping care for my newborn sister. As I got older, I started watching her friends too, building relationships with several families and learning a lot about kids along the way. Over the years, I've also spent three summers working as a full-time nanny, including over 3 years of hands-on experience specifically caring for infants and toddlers. I graduated from Tufts last spring with an interest in pediatric health, and I'm currently taking time to do what I love: caring for children, while I explore that path further. I love using play and creativity to nurture a child's imagination, but I also know that no two kids are the same. Some children thrive with structure and consistent routines, while others do best with more flexibility and spontaneity. I take the time to understand each child individually and adapt my approach to what works best for them and what parents are looking for. Beyond childcare, I'm also an experienced pet sitter and comfortable cooking for kids and families alike, from simple toddler meals to full family dinners. I'm happy to help with light housework too, including organizing, laundry, dishes, and general tidying, so the household runs smoothly alongside childcare. I'm reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I care about building genuine trust with the families I work with. I'd love the opportunity to bring that same care and dependability to your family.

Assana 2 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child

My name is Assana, and I am a dedicated and reliable nanny with several years of hands on experience caring for children. I have worked with multiple families, providing attentive childcare and supporting children with their daily routines, meals, homework, and engaging activities. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. In addition to childcare, I have assisted families with household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry to help keep the home organized and running smoothly. I have also traveled with a family as a travel nanny when needed, which has strengthened my flexibility, adaptability, and commitment to meeting each family’s unique needs. I am patient, trustworthy, and passionate about helping children grow and thrive.

“I had the pleasure of having Assana as a nanny for my two children, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly caring, reliable, and dedicated to the families she works with. From the very beginning, she created a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for my children, and they absolutely adored her. Assana went above and beyond her role every day. She not only provided excellent childcare, but also helped with laundry, kept the house clean and organized, and made our home run smoothly. One of the things I appreciated most was her ability to incorporate learning into daily routines she even taught my children French, which was such a valuable and unique experience for them. She is patient, attentive, and genuinely passionate about working with children. Any family would be lucky to have her, and I confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and hardworking nanny.”

"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."
