Brittny $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of 4 and I grew up taking care of my younger siblings when my parents had to work. I’m very hands-on and very attentive. I’m clear with my communication, I love to engage while being warm and nurturing. I’ve also worked with the elderly for 2 years and those come hand in hand. I’ve learn to be patience while creating consistency and structure but I pride myself on having the willingness to learn and improve on things I might not know.

Maggie $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Maggie, 34, and kids have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in rural South Africa, where I ran youth programs, facilitated an overnight camp for 40 young women, and worked hands-on with kids and families in the community every single day. Since then I've built a career in international development, working with foundations and nonprofits around the world. These days I work as a consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes me really reliable for regular sits, last-minute evenings, or the occasional weekend. I'm patient, easygoing, and genuinely happiest when I'm playing, reading, or just goofing around with kids. I also speak French, so if you're looking for a little language immersion during playtime, I'd love to bring that in too. I take care of the kids I'm with like they're my own, and I'd love to meet your family!

Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi - My name is Shania and I'm currently a paraprofessional for the Board of Education working with special needs children from ages 2-10 years old. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also worked as a household assistant as well as working for the board of Education and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I’m not allergic to any animals and comfortable to work with them.

Zoe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Zoe and I am a 23 year old graduate from UC Santa Barbara who recently moved to Brooklyn. I offer childcare (all ages), pet care, tutoring and other household help! I love working with kids because their curiosity and silliness is contagious, especially when I can introduce them to the crafts and games I grew up on! I have been working with kids of all ages (newborn - teens) since 2018. I have 5 years of experience working at a sleep away summer camp as a counselor, arts and crafts specialist and supervisor. I most recently worked as the Supervisor of Children’s Services at a Domestic Violence shelter, where I managed a daycare and afterschool programs for 80+ kids. I love playing games, leading arts and crafts, helping with homework and taking kids outside! Additionally, I can cook, clean, take care of pets, or help with whatever else you may need! I am CPR trained and am a Wilderness First Responder, which prepares me to respond to emergency situations. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I would love to help in anyway I can!

"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."
