Mary $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in East Elmhurst, NY

I have experience providing dependable, compassionate care for children, pets, and homes. I’ve babysat privately for families and volunteered at my local church’s nursery and toddler center, often filling in when extra help was needed. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. In addition, I’ve house sat, provided light cleaning services, and cared for both dogs and cats. I take pride in being responsible, organized, and respectful of families’ routines and homes, and I always aim to create a safe, positive environment.

Marielle $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Marielle and I am a theater artist and experienced educator who absolutely adores working with kids! I studied theater and writing at Brown University, and taught playwriting to youth in Ecuador on a Fulbright. I have extensive experience teaching kids creative writing and theater games, and I always have new creative (and safe!) game ideas up my sleeve that your kids will adore. I also teach US history part-time at a school in Bushwick, and am a history tour guide on the Lower East Side. I love to awaken kids’ curiosity for learning while babysitting, reading with them, and encouraging them to start creative projects that will stimulate their academic growth! I speak fluent Spanish and French, and I can contribute to your child’s learning in these areas. Safety is also my utmost priority, as well as checking in with parents to make sure the specific needs of your child are being honored. I have 5 years of experience teaching Special Olympics, and have worked as an executive functioning coach, so I am well-versed in adapting to different learning styles. Working with me as a babysitter is about keeping your kids safe, healthy, and more than just entertained. I aim for every session to be uplifting for children’s emotional growth, joyful, and educational!

"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."
