Hi! I’m Sofia (go by Sofie), i’m 21 years old from Chicago and currently a student at Parsons School of Design. Looking to help out in any way (babysitting, household chores, running errands, petsitting etc) in my spare time between classes and weekends. I’ve been a mandated reporter, CPR/AED and first aid certified since 2022, prior to college I worked at a front desk across from a child care center and loved greeting/interacting with the kids coming in :) Growing up I babysat my little cousins, along with a variety of pets (mainly dogs but i’m comfortable and have knowledge on a variety of animals!). I’m fully vaccinated and in East Village! Also I absolutely LOVE deep cleaning + organizing <3 (cannot bring own supplies).

Paige $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Paige, and I am a current freshman at New York University studying Musical Theatre. I am originally from Chicago, Illinois, where I spent about 7 years working with children. I’m a friendly, responsible caregiver with professional nannying and babysitting experience caring for children ages 3 months to 13 years. I’ve worked with families through a nanny agency and private nanny role, where I supervised activities, prepared meals and snacks, maintained clean play spaces, and communicated closely with parents about their children’s needs and progress. I’m creative, organized, and patient, and I love engaging kids through crafts, reading, games, and outdoor play. I’m also reliable, safety-focused, and enjoy creating a warm, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for.

Jonah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jonah and I'm a 20 year old NYU student from Miami, FL. I am studying finance at NYU Stern with a focus on the entertainment industry. I grew up with a sister who was six years younger than me, and often took care of her while my parents were busy. I've been to summer camp from ages 7-14, was a counselor-in-training at 15, then a counselor at 16. Having been both a camper and a counselor, I know what it is like to be the kid and the adult in caretaking scenarios. I've been lifeguard certified and CPR-Pro certified, having lifeguarded at the camp I mentioned. I'm a great cook, asian cuisines being my favorite to make. I'm happy to help kids with their homework, or give tutoring sessions, especially in writing or math. I play guitar, and would gladly offer practice lessons for kids who are starting to play. I have a pet dog who I love very much, and would be so excited to care for other pets. I am eager to meet your children and help them find fun activities to enjoy their summer vacations!

"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."
