Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sophie, and by day I work as an advocate counselor at a High School in Manhattan, which I have been doing for three years (I love it)! In my job, clear communication, trust, and honesty are integral. I work to keep kids engaged, on track, motivated, and to build their confidence. With that comes lots of chatting and working to make connections. I have been babysitting since I was in High School, and I have taken care of kids ages 2 months to 8 years old. Most of my babysitting has been with babies sustaining long-term relationships with families, and watching these babies grow into toddlers. I’m an avid sports fan, I play the New York Times games daily, and I’m always willing to try something new. My friends and family would describe me as outgoing, loyal, honest, and having a strong sense of humor! Clear communication, established boundaries, and fun are at the core of my work. I look forward to connecting, and thank you for entrusting me with your littles!

Maia $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maia Elliott and I am currently living in Lower East Side, New York. I am offering child care, house hold services, and pet care. I have grown up always surrounded by young children as my mom is a preschool teacher so I would always help her with summer camps when I was younger. I became a sitter when I was 11 for all age ranges and started nannying two summers in a row when I had a break from school. I love spending time with kids and enjoy doing many activities with them such as art projects, walks to the park, baking, or also helping with any school work. I am most comfortable with pre-k-5th grade age range but can also watch babies as well. I am able to drive kids back and forth from different activities. Please reach out and I am excited to meet you!

Ayodele $25 per hour for 1 child

With over twenty years of experience caring for children across a wide range of ages and needs including medically complex and special needs care. I bring a calm, reliable, and highly professional presence to every home and team I support. My background is unique in that it bridges caregiving, household management, personal assistance, and military service. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I developed a strong sense of discipline, responsibility, and crisis response that continues to guide my work. More recently, I have provided specialized one-on-one care for a child with complex medical and developmental needs, supporting daily routines, therapy sessions, medical coordination, and emotional regulation with both structure and compassion. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked as a House Manager and Personal Assistant, managing schedules, travel, confidentiality, and day-to-day home operations. I am known for being proactive, highly organized, and deeply respectful of family dynamics and privacy. I understand that trust is the foundation of this type of work, and I take that responsibility seriously. I bring warmth, consistency, and professionalism to every role. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive and families feel supported. I would be honored to contribute my experience, dedication, and care to your home.

"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."
