Rose $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rose and I'm currently a junior at Pace University. I am offering child care and pet care. I worked at an elementary school for 2 years as an aftercare counselor for groups of 5-9 year olds. My responsibilities have included managing class field trips, crafts, tutoring, and always ensuring safety. I also worked with a dog walking company in lower Manhattan this past summer, which included daily walks and sitting. I am happy to work with dogs and cats!

Tanisha $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, caring, and patient babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m attentive to children’s needs, reliable with schedules, and able to handle routines like meals, homework, bedtime, and light housekeeping. I also like keeping kids engaged with creative activities like games, reading, and crafts instead of just screen time. Parents can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and focused on their child’s well-being at all times.

Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria and I am a born and raised New Yorker from the Upper East Side. What I think is most unique about my experience with childcare in the city is that I was also raised in the city so I know what the experience and context of everything is like. I have been a nanny for 3 1/2 years and it is my passion to work with children. I have worked consistently with 5 families on the UES (my own business)that are willing to give exceptional references on my behalf. I also have worked with two families in the Hamptons The families I work for have children aged from 7 months- 8 years of age. Because I plan on becoming a behavioral therapist for autistic children, I incorporate a variety of activities fun and educational into my nannying. I am not only caring and creating a safe environment for your children, but teaching them important skills to learn and grow. I am very organized and will always have activities for your children!I am very energetic and attentive and have a very close relationship with all the families I work with. If you are looking for someone who plays attentively, encourages learning growth skills, puts children’s safety first, adapts to family dynamic quickly and is more than familiar with the neighborhood I am the person for you :) I am very flexible right now I just returned from the Hamptons and am looking for a consistent part-time or full-time job.

Brandis $26 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate and dedicated caregiver with over a decade of experience in supportive leadership roles within residential services. My extensive background includes overseeing operations, supervising teams, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality care. I have honed exceptional skills in crisis intervention and training development, which allow me to create a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children. Additionally, I have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, understanding their unique needs and fostering their development through tailored approaches. In my role as a caregiver, I also excel in household management, as I am skilled in cooking and cleaning, ensuring a comfortable and organized space for the children I care for. Being bilingual in English and Spanish enables me to effectively communicate with families from diverse backgrounds, fostering strong and positive relationships. I am genuinely enthusiastic about the opportunity to take on a babysitting or nanny position, where I can leverage my extensive experience to create and maintain nurturing environments that support children's growth and development. My commitment to providing attentive and compassionate care will ensure a positive and enriching experience for both the children and their families.

Booked by 2 families in Jamaica, NY

Hello NYC Families! I’m a graduating nursing student currently looking for work as I prepare for my licensing exam. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter in Brooklyn for the past five years, and have over ten years of experience working in childcare and youth services. Before diving into nursing, I earned my first bachelor’s degree in sociology and dance, which gives me a unique, interdisciplinary perspective that I love to bring into my work. I’m passionate about education, dance, and play, and I’m excited about the possibility of connecting with your family! A little about me: - I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, where I spent most of my free time dancing or exploring the outdoors. - I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from 18 months to 18 years, including those with a wide range of abilities and behaviors. - I’ve created and led hands-on learning programs in everything from outdoor education and arts & crafts to cooking and dance/movement. - I spent three summers touring with Circus Smirkus, where I supported a troupe of 30 teen performers—an experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of creative expression. - I have a valid driver’s license and have driven to all my babysitting jobs around the city. - I’m CPR/BLS certified and trained in first aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m not working, you’ll find me dancing, biking, rock climbing, enjoying ocean sports, or making handmade cards for friends and family. I’d love to share my passions and experiences with your family, and I’d be honored to help out in any way I can. I truly believe in building open, honest relationships with families and kids, and I’m always eager to learn about each child’s unique personality and interests. Looking forward to connecting!

"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."
