Booked by 1 family in Newark, NJ

I have had the opportunity to care for children ranging in age from approximately 8 months to 7 years old. I have always distinguished myself as a very active individual—constantly establishing routines and fostering good habits to make the parents' job easier. I am currently learning English—a language I already understand—and with my previous employers,even though their native language was French, we maintained excellent communication. With the last child I cared for, I was with him from the age of 6 months until he was two and a half years old, at which point he started school. I taught him to crawl quickly, to speak, to identify sounds, and to walk; I personally prepared all his meals, from soft foods to solid foods; and I effortlessly instilled in him a love for vegetables and taught him to let us know when he needed to use the potty.It is clearly an example of a very young child who speaks, understands, and likes three languages: Spanish, English, and French.

Kylie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kylie — a West Village local with a heart for caregiving and a long history helping raise three godchildren here in NYC. After running my own successful marketing consultancy for over two decades, I’ve decided to start scaling down to spend more time doing what brings me the most joy: supporting children and families. While I may be older than some sitters (I’m 54), I bring a calm, mature presence, along with plenty of energy, patience, and humor. I'm deeply familiar with life in the city, from parks and playgrounds to navigating school schedules and routines. I love reading with kids, helping with creative projects, and just being a supportive, steady adult in their lives. I’m available for part-time help (5–10 hours a week) and happy to assist with regular care, fill-ins, date nights or preschool pick-ups and afternoon activities. I understand the trust you place in a caregiver — and would love to be a trusted person for your family.

Bella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Bella. I've spent close to a decade with private families — first in Southern California where I grew up, and now in New York. I'm calm under pressure, comfortable with infants through tweens (including kids with special needs and twins), and I think the best nannies are the ones whose presence makes the apartment feel a degree quieter, not louder. I'm pursuing a master's in Computer Science at Pace University, live in Tribeca, and can be at most downtown apartments in fifteen minutes. References available from every family I've worked with. Always happy to start with a paid trial day. Rates run $30–$40/hr depending on the day and number of kids.

Vita $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Newark, NJ

I’ve been babysitting for the past 12 years and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I worked as a certified lifeguard for 2 years and also gained early childhood experience working at a daycare during high school. Throughout high school and college, I was a full-time nanny for 7 years, building long-term relationships with families and helping support child development through play, routine, and educational activities. Since moving to New York City in 2021, I’ve continued babysitting and am now looking for more part-time opportunities. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids. I bring a calm, confident energy and always prioritize safety and fun.

"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."
