Samantha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sam! I’m a second-year nursing student at Pace University, and I am offering child and pet sitting care. I am also CPR certified. I love babysitting and have experience caring for children ranging from 8 months to 10 years old. I know how to provide a fun and safe environment for kids of all ages, whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, or keeping little ones entertained with creative activities. I have my own car, so I can provide transportation for myself and assist with pick-ups and drop-offs as needed. I’m excited to continue babysitting—please let me know how I can help! :)

Lorraine $33 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable mom of three with many years of hands-on experience raising children from infancy through school age. I truly love being with little ones and creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, happy, and understood. When my own children were babies and toddlers, I made their baby food, followed gentle routines, and focused on healthy meals, naps, and lots of one-on-one attention — and I bring that same thoughtful, nurturing care to the families I work with. I believe children learn best through connection and play, so I spend time on the floor engaging with little ones, reading stories, encouraging imaginative play, and getting outside for fresh air and nature walks whenever possible. I’m patient, warm, and very reliable, and I understand how important trust is when you leave your child with someone. I also know that with children, not every moment runs perfectly — and that’s okay. I stay calm, flexible, and supportive when days feel busy or unpredictable. I’m also very comfortable caring for school-age children and helping them stay engaged after busy school days with reading, creative activities, and homework support or gentle direction as needed. I provide in-home care and do not transport children by car, but I’m happy to walk children to and from nearby schools, parks, or activities when appropriate. I value working in partnership with parents, respecting family routines and parenting styles, and communicating openly about each child’s needs and progress. I’m attentive about safety and creating a secure environment, and families can count on me to be punctual and dependable. I’m also comfortable around pets — I’ve cared for fish, guinea pigs, and reptiles, and I adore dogs (cats are lovely too!). I’m happy to provide both consistent weekday care and dependable evening or date-night help so parents can feel confident and at ease. What families can count on from me: 💚Calm, attentive care for infants & toddlers 💚Engaging floor play, reading, & outdoor time 💚Homework help & supportive routines for school-age kids 💚Support with meals, snacks, & nap 💚A caregiver who partners with parents & respects family routines 💚Comfort in homes with pets 💚Reliable help for weekday care & evening/date nights

"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."
