Dynasty $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dynasty, I’m from Brooklyn NY born & raised . I’m patient , reliable & also someone who shows empathy when it comes to working with kids and working with children isn’t just my job it’s my passion. I’m currently a paraprofessional, and I have hands-on experience supporting children on the autism spectrum, as well as children with a variety of learning styles and needs. I’ve taken care of a few seniors not to many but it is an open page in my book so I am providing those services . I’m someone who grew up around pets and pets are just another child to me so they were never an issue . I’d pet sit for everyone whether it was vacation on . I believe in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can be themselves, feel supported, and have fun while learning. I’m patient, attentive, and skilled at adapting activities to fit each child’s personality and abilities. Whether we’re working on communication skills, enjoying creative play, or simply sharing a laugh, I make sure every moment counts. Parents can feel confident knowing their child is in caring, capable hands with someone who genuinely loves what they do and understands the importance of building trust and connection.

Kathleen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kathleen, and I am a sophomore at Hunter College. Throughout high school, I was a 3-sport varsity athlete (cross country, basketball, and golf) and I played several different sports growing up! My main hobby is running, and I am looking to qualify for the Boston Marathon! I love to entertain and make sure the kids are having fun! I am a very friendly person and although I love to have fun, I always want to make sure we are staying safe. I am very familiar with the kitchen and cooking a good meal. I have two sisters, one older and one younger so I am very familiar with the conflict that can arise. I also have a dog and love all pets.

Tachet $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Tachét I am writing to express my sincere interest in being considered for a Caregiver position with your organization. I am eager to begin working in a role where I can support others, make a positive difference in their daily lives, and continue to learn and grow professionally. I am a dependable, patient, compassionate, hardworking, and motivated individual who understands the importance of providing care with kindness, respect, and dignity. As a mother of three children, ages 4, 2, and 1, I have developed strong skills in patience, responsibility, organization, communication, and meeting the individual needs of children. Caring for my own children has strengthened my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment while managing daily routines and responsibilities. In addition to my experience as a mother, I have professional experience working with children through after-school programs and as a paraprofessional. These experiences have given me the opportunity to support children with their learning, development, daily activities, and individual needs. They have also taught me the importance of patience, understanding, teamwork, communication, and building positive relationships with the children in my care. I understand that working as a caregiver requires attentiveness, empathy, reliability, and the ability to build trusting relationships. I am comfortable assisting with daily routines, providing encouragement and support, maintaining a safe environment, and following instructions carefully. I am also willing to learn from experienced professionals and continue developing my caregiving skills. My goal is to build a meaningful career in caregiving while helping those in my care feel safe, comfortable, respected, supported, and valued. I am committed to working hard, learning new skills, and providing compassionate and dependable care. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be considered for a caregiver position. Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my experience, qualifications, and how I can contribute to your organization and the individuals you serve.

Booked by 1 family in Newark, NJ

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.”

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."
