Nubia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Amparo, a Linguistics and Literature graduate with a genuine passion for working with children. I currently work with CHDFS (Center for Human Development and Family Services), providing one-on-one support to children with special needs. I focus on helping them build social, emotional, and independence skills through patient guidance, empathy, and structured activities. I’m also a certified lifeguard, trained in First Aid and CPR, which reinforces my commitment to ensuring every child’s safety and well-being at all times. My native language is Spanish, and I truly enjoy sharing my language and culture with the families I support. I’d love the opportunity to discuss how my experience and care can contribute to your family’s needs and help your children grow and thrive.

Sahira $30 per hour for 1 child

I am 32 years old and I have been working hands on with children since I was about 15 years old. I became a certified assistant provider at the age of 24. I currently work at Bethlehem Group Family Daycare as the Assistant Manager. It is a family business that's been in operation since 2004. Working with children has been very rewarding. I have acquired the wisdom to provide exceptional care to children through needed certified trainings and professional experience. I believe to have the needed personality traits to be of good steward. These traits are patience, empathy, understanding, creativity, compassion, enthusiasm, respect, playfulness, and many others. I am a mother to an amazing and intelligent 6 year old boy who has helped mold me into the woman I am today. I am a lover of animals and have never been without a pet. I also have experience with caring for seniors, as I was the unofficial home-aid attendant of both my grandparents while they were alive. I can also out clean anyone and actually enjoy cleaning.

Taylor $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Taylor, a childcare worker and musician/actor here in NYC, offering infant/childcare and pet care! My first experiences taking care of children date back to when I was 14, babysitting the neighborhood children for work experience. Since then, I’ve spent countless summers as a summer camp counselor. When I moved to New York I spent time as a part-time birthday party entertainer for children of all ages, worked as a Toddler’s Assistant in private schools, and continue to nanny full time as well as substitute teach for all ages of children! I am a NY licensed driver with a clean record, able to transport your kiddos to and from school + all sorts of different activities. I love to incorporate music into childcare routines with lots of songs and encouraging words. (I also offer guitar lessons for elementary children and older). I’m a good cook and love to care for pets as well (dogs, cats, anything!)

Sofia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sofia, a 24-year-old caregiver with several years of hands-on experience supporting children — especially toddlers and preschoolers — through developmental therapy, babysitting, and child-led learning. My background includes working with children in early intervention settings using D.I.R./Floortime approaches to support cognitive growth, sensory regulation, emotional expression, and motor planning. I’ve worked one-on-one in homes to help kids meet milestones, manage transitions, and navigate big emotions through connection and co-regulation. In addition to my therapy experience, I’ve provided consistent nanny and babysitting care for families with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m a strong believer in respectful, responsive caregiving, and I love creating environments where children feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Whether it’s building sensory bins, planning simple routines, or supporting nap time with calm consistency, I bring warmth and intention to my work. I’m also a great fit for families looking for someone reliable, grounded, and flexible. I currently work a hybrid part-time schedule which gives me flexibility Monday through Friday. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets, following Montessori-inspired or gentle parenting approaches, and being a calm presence during high-energy moments (tantrums don’t scare me!). Some quick facts: -I have my own reliable transportation and am punctual -I’m based in the Hudson/Bergen County area and open to nearby travel -I'm Bilingual (spanish speaking) -I love sensory play, nature walks, music, and simple creative activities -I’m open to long-term roles, part-time care, or summer-only positions Whether you're a parent looking for structured, engaging support during the week, or someone who needs reliable, developmentally-aware care for your little ones, I’d love to see if we’re a match. Thank you for considering me!

Pamela $28 per hour for 1 child

Babysitter Available – CPR Certified ✨ “Caring for children as if they were my own.” ✨ Hello! My name is Pamela, and I’m here to support all the wonderful moms and families who need an extra helping hand with their little ones. I truly love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is well cared for. I treat every child with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m Hispanic, and my native language is Spanish — so if you’d like your child to learn a few Spanish words, I’d be happy to include that during our time together! I have a basic level of English, but that doesn’t stop me from communicating clearly, kindly, and making your child feel safe and happy. I’m CPR certified and have experience working in a daycare, caring for children of different ages. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and provide the care and support your little one deserves. ❤️

"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."
