I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and households, and I truly enjoy helping families run smoothly. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens — which has taught me patience, creativity, and flexibility. I babysat regularly for a 1-year-old and 6-year-old for four years, as well as for another family with a baby under one and a 4-year-old for two years. I also cared for a 3-, 5-, and 7-year-old for two years, and during high school, I was a daily after-school sitter and driver for an 8- and 10-year-old. In addition to childcare, I’ve dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college and have experience house-sitting, running errands, and providing general household support. I’m responsible, reliable, and organized, but also warm and easygoing — someone kids feel comfortable and safe with. I love creating a positive, fun environment while keeping things structured and running smoothly for parents. I also love animals.

I’m an active New Yorker based in the Chelsea area, a current college student pursuing my bachelors in Digital Communications at Baruch College. I always aim to support each family’s unique approach to childcare. If parents prefer minimal screen time, I’m happy to encourage that through engaging play, meaningful conversation, and creative activities. I’m energetic, enthusiastic, and never afraid to get down on the floor to join in their little world, making playtime both fun and enriching, ensuring your child has a caregiver who can match their excitement and curiosity. Most importantly, I believe in mirroring the way parents connect with their children, so that care feels consistent, comfortable, and aligned with your values. I’m an avid moviegoer and I also enjoy crocheting and painting which are hobbies I love to incorporate into play and activities with kids whenever possible. Have pets? 🐾 no problem! I love animals and have my own fur baby that is my entire world. Parents, If you are considering me to watch your little ones, I’d be more than happy to hop on a call via zoom and/or via cell if needed.

“Highly recommend Byann! She was prompt, fun, engaging with our kids, and communicated proactively. She was also considerate and kind. Our kids already asked to have her back!”

Hello I’m currently a university student double majoring in adolescent/childhood education and psychology at Pace University I’ve been officially babysitting since I was 16. Unofficially I’ve been babysitting my whole life being the eldest of 4. I love kids and am flexible to different work situations. I’m great with animals and enjoy spending time outside, if the weather allows for it I love taking the kids to the park. I speak fluent French, Arabic, and English and previously worked as a school tutor and camp counselor. :)

Solana $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Solana. I currently attend Fairleigh Dickinson and I’m offering my services while on break from school. I am an experienced and dependable babysitter with over six years of hands-on childcare experience caring for children of various ages. Throughout the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and personalities, allowing me to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and trustworthy, with a natural ability to connect with children and make them feel comfortable and supported. I take pride in being reliable and responsible, ensuring parents feel confident and at ease when their children are in my care. I’m skilled in maintaining daily schedules, preparing meals, assisting with homework, and organizing fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. My experience has taught me how to handle challenging situations calmly, communicate effectively with both children and parents, and adapt to each family’s unique needs. Babysitting isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m committed to providing high-quality care that supports both children’s growth and parents’ peace of mind.

Mariana $25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing young minds is truly my passion. My experiences working at a daycare with kids from 2-6 years old, sparked a desire to positively impact children's lives, leading me to two fulfilling years of childcare. I hold a graduate degree and enjoy caring for children aged 1-11. I'm comfortable with up to four children. I am patient, calm, and friendly. I love playing outside, board games, and educational games. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and text, always following your preferred method. I am comfortable enforcing household rules. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Speaking both English and Spanish allows me to connect with more families. Having a car and being comfortable with pets makes logistics easier. I look forward to bringing my energy and experience to your family.

"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."
