A little about me: I’m respectful, responsible, punctual, outgoing, and truly passionate about caring for children. I take my responsibilities seriously, always bring a positive attitude, and do my best to create a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for every child in my care. I’m also a mom to a sweet 1 year old, which has given me even more hands-on experience with routines, meals, naps, playtime, and all the little moments that come with caring for young children. For daytime positions, my son would usually come with me, so I always like to be upfront about that. I’m very comfortable caring for more than one child at a time and balancing different ages and routines. For evening or nighttime babysitting, my baby would not need to come with me, since he sleeps through the night. That gives me more flexibility for date nights, dinners, events, or occasional evening care. I love keeping kids engaged both indoors and outdoors through creative play, reading, crafts, walks, playground time, libraries, and age-appropriate activities. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and interests so I can make our time together fun, meaningful, and special. I’m active, patient, creative, and full of energy… sometimes I think I have even more energy than the little ones! 😊 I’m also happy to help with occasional evenings or weekends if parents would like some time for a date night, errands, or plans with friends. CPR Certified. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and see if we could be a great fit!
Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my profile. I’m Mariah, and caring for children is something I truly love. It’s a joy to support families and play a positive part in a child’s day. I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years. I enjoy creating fun, engaging moments through crafts, imaginative play, outdoor time, and simple routines that help kids feel happy, safe, and understood. I always aim to bring warmth, patience, and positivity into every home I visit. I’m also a big animal lover, so pets are always more than welcome around me! I’d be happy to connect and see how I can support your family.
Hi! I'm a very patient and energetic nanny with over 5 years of experience. I am very calm and reliable, I prioritize communication with parents/guardians 100% of the time and I really appreciate every feedback related to childcare. With all of my experience I'm always looking forward to provide a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and have fun while under my care. I'm also very proactive and punctual. My favorite ages to work with are 1-7 years old. I've started my nanny career as A daycare teacher, back in Brazil, and I have been really enjoying working directly with families since I moved to America. I'm open for short and long term positions but mainly expecting something long term so I can bond with the kids and create a meaningful connection over time. I'm fully vaccinated and I have all my childcare certifications up to date.
“Rafaela was amazing with my 8 year old son- she played board games with him for over four hours at his request. Thank you!!!!!”
Hi Prospective Parent(s)! My name is Fiona and I’m a junior at Colby College studying International Relations, Economics, and Chinese. I’m back home in New York City for summer break and would love to help out any families in need of childcare. I have prior experience caring for toddlers and elementary-aged children and have babysat since high school. I really enjoy spending quality time with the children I care for and getting to know their personalities and quirks. Though I may be younger than some other applicants, I take safety very seriously and will make it my number one priority. Also, I’m still at an age where I can relate to most children :) Notes: fluent in Mandarin, good knowledge with navigating the city and public transportation, no problem with being technology free. Note: I require 50% of the booking for same day cancellations
“Fiona was so great. She was able to help very last minute and walked into a situation with a 10 month old and a 5.5 year old and jumped right in for a seamless night. Would absolutely recommend Fiona! ”

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
