Kaele $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaele and I am 26 years old. I have my bachelors in Psychology and am planning on becoming a pediatric Occupational Therapist. I have always been good with kids and I proved that when I decided to babysit. Eventually I started working at an elementary school and worked as an aide for special needs kids. I worked with 3-6 year olds for 2 years and am looking to continue working with kids in general. I am reliable, friendly and most importantly respectful. Kids love to spend time with me because of my calm nature and I find ways to keep them happy, safe and entertained. I have experience with many different age groups due to finding babysitting jobs as part times after high school! I enjoyed every second. My duties included driving/picking up from school, take kids to activities, play, make sure they eat and do their homework. I also have helped out with homework and light housekeeping.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 9 families in Jamaica, NY

Hi I am a 23 years old with almost 4 years babysitting/nanny experience, full time and part time. I have a lot of experience with newborn to school-age stages. My schedule is very flexible I can do overtimes or stay in if needed, I'm also open to do weekends. I have a little sister who is 7 years old now I was mainly the one who raised her, that's why every now and then I have personal experience. Hoping that we can do set up an interview. Thank you!

“I highly recommend Yhanna as a caregiver. She is extremely professional, prompt and communicative. My 9 year old loved hanging out with her and I'll definitely be using her again. Yhanna is engaging, fun and I had an overall great experience with her. She is also very quick to respond to messages, which is something that I very much appreciated. Thank you Yhanna!”

$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Jamaica, NY

I have been working with children since 2013. From 2013 to 2016, I taught children in educational settings, which helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. Since 2014, I have also been babysitting and have experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at the same time. Most recently, I cared for three boys at once, managing their different routines and needs, picking them up from daycare and school programs on time, preparing meals, playing with them, and helping with their evening routine. This experience strengthened my ability to stay organized while making sure each child receives individual attention. I also cared for a baby from 1 month old until her first birthday while her mom attended classes at NYU. My responsibilities included feeding, diapering, playtime, and both daytime and overnight care, including responding when she woke up during the night. In addition, I have experience as a private tutor for a child on the autism spectrum. This experience taught me the importance of being patient, adapting my communication and teaching approach to the individual child, providing clear guidance, and allowing them to learn and engage at their own pace. I understand that every child has different needs, personalities, and ways of communicating. I am a cheerful, patient, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love planning fun, age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, and creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn and have fun. I also love cats and enjoy taking care of plants, and I always treat every family's home with respect and care. My background in psychology has further strengthened my communication, empathy, and understanding of individual differences, helping me connect well with both children and parents.

"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."
