I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager for family and neighbors, and I love working with kids. I’m comfortable with toddlers through school-aged children and can help with meals, naps, homework, and fun activities like reading, crafts, and outdoor play.

Caroline $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello I’m Caroline I’m 20 and located in Midtown. I’m currently in College at Baruch and have 4 years of babysitting experience. I have worked with children from 6months-12 years old. I run an at home bakery so love doing fun baking and cooking activities with kids and am also able to prepare meals for the children and family. When babysitting I like to make sure the kids spend time outside so either taking them to the park or on a walk is a favorite of mine. I can help with homework and am particularly good with English and History. I also speak German so I am able to help children learn German or work with a German speaking family. I am also very open to pet sitting or working with family’s with pets, I’ve worked at a horse stable so have experience with all types of animals and have taken care of both dogs and cats in the past.

Marjon $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I'm MJ, or you can call me Miss MJ if you'd like. I'm a super fun and youthful babysitter who loves to make playtime extra special for the kids I take care of. I believe in the power of engaging activities and creating a nurturing environment where children can explore their creativity and have a blast. I've had the opportunity to work at two awesome daycare centers, one afterschool program, and have babysat for over four different families. Being part of a big family myself, I've been babysitting since I was a little kid, so I have experience with children of all ages. I've even had the privilege of working with children on the spectrum. I'm excited to bring my energy and vibrance into your little ones' lives. <3

Katie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, welcome! My name is Katie. As a babysitter/nanny I enjoy caring for children, it's been very rewarding. Soon, I hope to pursue a career in "Pediatric Occupational Therapist." I look to gain as much experience while working with kids as I possibly can. I’ve been a childcare provider for a few years now and it’s been great! The children I've cared for have been amazing, I've gained such an Immense love for them. I truly love being a caregiver provider for numerous reasons, Including the happiness it brings me knowing I am contributing to their growth and development. While caring for children I have learned plenty such as patience and the love and connection that is shared as well as to be compassionate. My experiences being a childcare provider have helped me grow so much as a person I’ve also learned things of myself. I’ve learned to develop strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to different situations and temperaments, the ability to make quick decisions in a safe and supportive manner. I have learned to gaining a deeper understanding of child development. Learning ways to manage children’s behaviors effectively providing positive social and emotional development. I try to work to my best ability, very dependable and responsible as well as very understanding, and self-confident. Which are important qualities to have when being a childcare provider as well as with any line of work. The families I've worked for have truly been amazing. I've been very lucky! I’ve kept a great relationship with the families which I believe it’s important. While working alongside the families I’ve always kept open and honest communications to keep everything afloat and make sure the families are comfortable while their children are under my care. I have also made myself available to other families when there was a need of a backup sitter/nanny, I’ve been flexible when there was a need for me to arrive earlier or stay much later. I try to be as flexible as possible because I am aware things may occur and families may need a little extra help. I truly love what I do which is why I look forward to it every day. This is a short summary of myself and my experiences, if it sounds good to you that makes me happy! Please reach out! I look forward to speaking further. Thanks :) As far as training and certifications, I have: - First Aid/CPR/AED certification - Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers certification. I can provide references!

"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."
