Yodeline $25 per hour for 1 child

My background in caregiving comes from years of serving in my church’s children’s ministry, where I regularly care for babies and young children during services and women’s group meetings. I also babysit for multiple families, which has given me experience with different ages, routines, and personalities. These opportunities have taught me how to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children while also being responsible and dependable for parents. My qualifications come from hands-on experience, consistency, and trust that families place in me. I’m patient, attentive, and always ready to engage children with play, learning, or simply offering comfort when they need it. I treat every child as an individual and take the time to understand their needs. The traits that make me a great caregiver are my patience, compassion, reliability, and genuine love for children. I bring energy, care, and stability that help kids feel safe and valued.

Jane $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Jane! I’m 19 and go to Bryn Mawr College in PA. I live in park slope and am interested in occasional jobs anywhere in the city when I am home from school. My experience taking care of children is extensive. I have a younger brother as well as four younger cousins who I’ve babysat since I was 12. Additionally, I was an avid babysitter for families at my K-12 school in Manhattan. I had weekly jobs with four families, children ages 4-13, providing general care and fun, facilitating homework, preparing meals, and getting the kids to bed on time. I have also worked as a camp counselor in Massachusetts, South Dakota, and Chile, which has allowed me to connect with many different children with different backgrounds, expanding my ability to be a good caretaker. I am offering child care as well as household services. I can cook, navigate the city well with children, and do other tasks as needed. Happy to work with families with cats or dogs! Please reach out for more information :)

Bruna $27 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved back to NYC and I’m currently looking for a nanny position. I’m an experienced nanny with several years of childcare experience in Brazil and the U.S., caring for children from infants to school-age. I have a background in Psychology, which has helped me better understand child development, emotional needs, communication, and positive guidance. I’ve also volunteered with children with special needs, which taught me even more patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a confident driver with a clean record, an excellent swimmer, pet-friendly, and comfortable helping with meal preparation, children’s routines, errands, light housekeeping, and household organization. Families describe me as warm, responsible, proactive, dependable, and energetic. I truly love working with children and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. My goal is always to provide families with reliable care and peace of mind while becoming a positive and trusted part of their children’s lives.

"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."
