Emmy $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Emmy, and I live in Stuytown. I graduated from Amherst College two years ago and moved to the city. Since then, I've found myself missing spending time with children. I've been babysitting and nannying for most of my teenage and adult years. I have experience nannying for elementary schoolers and middle schoolers, as well as babysitting for children of all ages. I'm also comfortable watching pets, especially dogs. I'm originally from Seattle. I love cooking, animals, crafts, and yoga. I majored in Political Science and Computer Science at Amherst College. I'm currently working for a software company. I'd love to help care for your kids in the evenings and on the weekends.

Shanell $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Shanell, and I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic sitter with over 4 years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with kids in both personal and professional settings. I’ve cared for my younger cousins and other children, which helped me naturally build patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. Professionally, I spent 3 years working as an afterschool teacher and summer camp counselor, where I supervised groups of children, planned fun and engaging activities, and made sure every child felt safe and included. I also worked for 1 year as a teacher’s aide, supporting classroom instruction and helping students from kindergarten through middle school with their learning and daily routines. I genuinely enjoy being around kids and creating a positive, fun, and structured environment for them. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing activities, or just making sure they’re safe and happy, I always bring a responsible and attentive approach. I look forward to connecting with families and providing trustworthy loving care for your children

"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."
