Kateryna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Kate, and I’m currently pursuing my graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling. My classes are in the mornings, so I’m available for afternoon and evening childcare starting around 3:00 PM. I’m a mom of two grown daughters, ages 18 and 19, so I’ve spent many years caring for children and know how much patience, consistency, and warmth they need at every age. I’m comfortable caring for babies, toddlers, school-age children, and teens. My background in Psychology and my current graduate training have also taught me a great deal about children’s emotions, communication, and development. I’m calm, attentive, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children feel comfortable and understood. I’m happy to help with school pick-ups, homework, after-school routines, playtime, activities, and preparing healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks. I’m also a published cookbook author, so cooking is something I truly enjoy! I have my own car , so I’m comfortable with school pick-ups and driving children to activities. Most importantly, I understand that caring for someone’s children is a position of trust. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, rules, privacy, and parenting style, and I always aim to be reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’d love to get to know your family and see how I can help make your afternoons and evenings a little easier!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Lucy Babat! I am 22 and a recent Colgate University graduate heading to NYU this fall for a Master's in Social Work. I'm originally from Nashville, TN, where I spent several years nannying and developed a real love for working with young kids, especially infants and toddlers. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy the day-to-day of caring for little ones. I like keeping kids engaged with screen free play, hands-on activities, cooking simple meals and snacks, and helping older siblings with homework when needed. I am well versed with infants and am more than comfortable curating age appropriate activities (tummy time, swaddling, soothing, etc). I have also taken many childhood development courses through my psychology major at Colgate. I'm available for the summer and would love to find a great family to spend it with. Please feel free to reach out!

“During her time with us, Lucy was responsible for caring for our young children, meal prep, light housework, and accompanying us on activities. She was consistently punctual, reliable, and attuned to our children’s needs. Her abilities to remain positive and calm, while keeping kids engaged and creating a nurturing environment consistently fostered a sense of security, joy, and trust. Our family absolutely adores her, and we always felt confident they were safe and well cared for. She became an important member of our family, and we continue to remain close. I would not hesitate to hire her again and whole heartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny!”

Amanda $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda, I’m 27 and live in NYC. I’ve been babysitting since high school and have experience with kids of all ages, including a 3-month-old. I’ve watched up to four kids at once and have nannied for two boys and two elementary school girls. My experience includes school pickup, helping with daily routines and activities, and spending time with the kids throughout the day. I’m always up for anything from playing sports to doing arts and crafts, playing board games, or joining in on whatever they’re interested in. I’m also happy to help with homework, cooking, running errands, or anything else needed around the house. Outside of childcare, I enjoy running, tennis, soccer, reading, watching movies, cooking, and baking.

"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."
