Sofia $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Sofia, from a small coastal community in Northern California, and recently moved to Brooklyn after graduating from University. I have 10 years of experience as a babysitter with infants to pre-teens! I have also worked a summer camp counselor in my hometown for three summers, guiding groups of over 15 children on outdoor adventures and through arts and crafts activities. I recently graduated from the University of British Columbia, where I studied Creative Writing and Visual Art. I truly love working with kids of all ages and personalities, establishing a foundation of trust with each other, and fostering a deep connection. The experience of looking after a child has always brought me a deep sense of purpose and offered me with new, unique perspectives. I have references available, and have CPR and first aid certifications. You can reach me at[removed], or [removed] - I look forward to hearing from you!!

Sara 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi - My name is Sara, and I’m currently a second-year master’s candidate in the Department of Environmental Health Science as part of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. I enjoy babysitting and have grown up helping family and friends by caring for infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16. My responsibilities have included changing diapers, warming bottles, making snacks, watching them while the parents are away, getting them ready for bed, walking them to their bus stops, storytelling, and even some arts and crafts! I worked with multiple clients as a self-employed private educator overseas for ~5 years. I taught a self-developed curriculum based on the experts’ approach to teaching English as a foreign language. I tutored English, Science, Mathematics, and History for students in international schools. (1st grade to 12th). As well as English reading and writing for students with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia. Additionally, I assisted in developing the curriculum for Happy Bees overseas before the grand opening and held a preschool and kindergarten teacher position. I volunteered at a nursing home throughout high school. I recently received a bachelor of science degree in community health, which has deepened my understanding of populations in every age group. As the years pass, I’ve been assisting my parents with more tasks and am very comfortable with senior care. I can do light cooking, help with organizing, or other responsibilities. (I also enjoy technology-free conversation zones and board games). I am a big fan of pets! I’ve had turtles, birds, and cats. I have five cats back home, one of which is the queen, who gave birth to three healthy kittens in my bed, refusing to do so anywhere else in the house. Of course, I was there for her every step of the way, soothing and feeding her calming treats. I am very familiar with their care and needs. While I’ve never had a dog, I’ve walked my friends’ and thoroughly enjoy their company. If needed, I am open to day/weekend-long babysitting, pet care, and housesitting.

Zaimyra $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jackson Heights, NY

Hiiii! Im a college student who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have experience babysitting kids from 3months to 11 years old, tutoring after school. And I’m ALSO CPR certified. A day babysitting with me : I like to keep things fun while still following the family’s routine. We might start with a snack and some homework, then switch it up with arts and crafts, games, a movie, playing outside, or exploring something new( definitely excited about this). I’m big on letting kids have fun while still making sure they feel comfortable, heard, and safe. Before the parents come home, I’ll make sure everything is cleaned up and the kids are settled into whatever routine they normally have. I like to actively keep the kids busy and myself, so their interests are very important to me. Parents are updated every few hours and occasional check in when it’s my day off. Having open communication is my biggest priority. I’d describe myself as kind, outgoing, easy to talk to for the most part lol and someone who always tries to bring positive energy wherever I go. I’ve always believed the best jobs are the ones where people are genuinely happy to see you walk through the door. I want to be the sitter kids get excited about and the person parents can trust without worrying. As I’ll be moving away from my own family to start college, I know how important it is to have people around you who make you feel safe, supported, and cared for. I hope I can be that person for the families I experience New York with while building a foundation for connections. I’m currently available for after-school care, date nights, and completely available on the weekends!!! I can adjust as needed and do very early mornings but it’ll be tedious. Face time call or in person meet before official start day!!! Feel free to reach out and ask me questions and for references.

Jalani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jalani and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household support. I started working with kids in high school while helping at a daycare, and since then I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my goddaughter and friends’ children of different ages. I focus on making sure little ones feel safe, comfortable, fed, and genuinely looked after. I’m patient, attentive, and I love creating a smooth, happy environment for the kids I’m with. I also have experience with pet sitting, especially dogs and cats, and have stayed with pets for several days at a time. I’m reliable with routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and cared for while their owners are away. For house sitting, I’m organized, responsible, and great at keeping a home tidy and running smoothly. I’m someone families feel comfortable trusting with their space and their loved ones. I bring a warm, positive presence and communicate clearly so you always know everything is taken care of. Looking forward to working with you and your family! x

"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."
