Reagan $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Reagan and I am from Michigan. I am a recent graduate of Marymount Manhattan College with a dual degree in BFA Musical Theatre and BA Playwriting. I have been working as a babysitter since I was fourteen years old, picking up shifts in my hometown for family friends. In NYC, I have worked at The Gaga Center, leading parties of 10-50 children, giving me plenty of experience with engaging large groups of children, supervising their safety, and keeping them on task. Since graduating, I have worked as an as-needed babysitter for a few families and am interested in taking on more jobs. Some of my hobbies include reading, bike riding, board games (I love Mancala), and cooking! I am passionate about participating in no-screen activities with kids and am happy to try something new!

Blanca $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Blanca and I am a 53 year-old woman who has over 10 years caring for children ages 2 months-10 years. I have experience caring starting from early years. I am a mother of 2 daughter ages 22 (graduated from Cornell University) and 26 (graduated from City College), which makes me even more qualified as a nanny. I am a native Spanish speaker and am more than excited to teach how to read, speak, and write in Spanish. I speak limited English but enough to communicate with. I am available for part-time and full-time jobs. Feel free to contact me if anything. Thank you.

Marisa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Marisa and I have been caring for children and animals since I was only 10 years old myself. I’m now 25, graduated from the University of Virginia, and living in Brooklyn. As for my experience, I volunteered in 2-3 year old daycare classes throughout middle and high school, have babysat countless family friends children, and I even babysat my high school principals kids! I currently have a three year old niece that I love spending time with, and several newborn baby cousins I help watch when I am home. I have also been a middle school camp counselor for 5 years, and do tutoring with high school students. I am an active dog sitter and walker, and am happy to include pet care in the services I offer. Mostly, I would love to help with your little ones and give them care they need to grow strong. Thank you for considering me!

Veronica $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm a warm, dependable childcare professional with over 30 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including extensive experience with infants. As a former Kindergarten Teacher and Children's & Teen Librarian with the New York Public Library, I've dedicated my career to helping children learn, grow, and thrive in safe, nurturing, and engaging environments. I bring a unique blend of education, creativity, and nurturing care to every family. I create engaging, age-appropriate experiences through stories, arts and crafts, music, imaginative play, outdoor adventures, and hands-on learning that inspire curiosity and confidence. I'm patient, attentive, organized, and highly reliable, with a strong commitment to each child's safety, happiness, and development. My goal is to provide exceptional childcare and give parents peace of mind, knowing their children are genuinely cared for. I'd love to help make your child's day fun, safe, and full of smiles!

Quinn $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I am a teacher of English as a New Language at a middle school here in Brooklyn, supporting students grades 5-8 with their English language acquisition. I come with an extensive background, and am excited to find roles with potential for a long-term partnership! The cornerstones of my style would be fun, structure, and close collaboration with the family. What this looks like is unique to each family and each role, and I come with lots of questions. It's important to me to establish a foundation of communication early on and to align my approach with the family's values. In the past, this has meant getting outside, art or cooking projects, indoor play with games and manipulatives, and reading, all organized around meal and rest/nap times. I have a mellow personality (more of a listener) but am also physically active and all-in for a game of tag or a day of swimming! Being an educator, I enjoy a good field trip and am happy to take children on outings. I am safety-conscious and attentive at all times, and I like to minimize screens including my own. What I love most about childcare is the bond developed with the child and the memories I've made, even with short-term roles. I hold a Bachelors in Political Science and a TESOL certification. I'm happy to provide a resume with detail on my 10+ years of work with children, as well as references and a copy of my first aid certification, upon request. 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."
