Zoe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Zoe and I am a 23 year old graduate from UC Santa Barbara who recently moved to Brooklyn. I offer childcare (all ages), pet care, tutoring and other household help! I love working with kids because their curiosity and silliness is contagious, especially when I can introduce them to the crafts and games I grew up on! I have been working with kids of all ages (newborn - teens) since 2018. I have 5 years of experience working at a sleep away summer camp as a counselor, arts and crafts specialist and supervisor. I most recently worked as the Supervisor of Children’s Services at a Domestic Violence shelter, where I managed a daycare and afterschool programs for 80+ kids. I love playing games, leading arts and crafts, helping with homework and taking kids outside! Additionally, I can cook, clean, take care of pets, or help with whatever else you may need! I am CPR trained and am a Wilderness First Responder, which prepares me to respond to emergency situations. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I would love to help in anyway I can!

Brittny $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of 4 and I grew up taking care of my younger siblings when my parents had to work. I’m very hands-on and very attentive. I’m clear with my communication, I love to engage while being warm and nurturing. I’ve also worked with the elderly for 2 years and those come hand in hand. I’ve learn to be patience while creating consistency and structure but I pride myself on having the willingness to learn and improve on things I might not know.

Shira $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shira, and I’m currently a student at Tel Aviv University. I’m spending the summer in New York City visiting home and am available for babysitting. I have over 8 years of childcare experience, having started babysitting at age 13. I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to preteens—including experience with special needs. I’ve looked after up to four boys under the age of ten at once, as well as a one-year-old and a six-year-old with developmental challenges. I’m also comfortable with pets, especially dogs. In addition to babysitting, I have experience tutoring mathematics and am happy to help with homework or schoolwork support.

Kelly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kelly, and I’m excited to offer babysitting services and more to families in New York City. With nearly 15 years of babysitting experience and 5 summers spent working as a camp counselor at a YMCA overnight camp, I’m well-equipped to care for children of all ages. I’ve gained valuable skills over the years, from keeping kids engaged and safe to managing bedtime routines and providing emotional support when needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and am more than happy to care for pets, whether that means feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship while you're away. Whether you're looking for a sitter for a night out, a weekend away, or ongoing care, I am here to help. I’m reliable, responsible, and passionate about creating a fun and safe environment for your children. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a time to meet—I look forward to helping out your family!

Liz $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Liz, and I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. I’m 24 years old and originally from Virginia! I’ve been house sitting and pet sitting since I was 12 years old and have consistently been trusted with extended stays ranging from 1 to 6 weeks while families were away. I have experience caring for pets, maintaining homes, handling daily routines, and making sure everything stays safe, clean, and stress-free while you’re gone. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 18 and have cared for children ranging from 6 months to 10 years old. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, whether that means being an energetic play buddy, cooking dinner, helping with bedtime routines, or telling great bedtime stories! I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I truly enjoy helping families feel comfortable and supported.

"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."
