Dynasty $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dynasty, I’m from Brooklyn NY born & raised . I’m patient , reliable & also someone who shows empathy when it comes to working with kids and working with children isn’t just my job it’s my passion. I’m currently a paraprofessional, and I have hands-on experience supporting children on the autism spectrum, as well as children with a variety of learning styles and needs. I’ve taken care of a few seniors not to many but it is an open page in my book so I am providing those services . I’m someone who grew up around pets and pets are just another child to me so they were never an issue . I’d pet sit for everyone whether it was vacation on . I believe in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can be themselves, feel supported, and have fun while learning. I’m patient, attentive, and skilled at adapting activities to fit each child’s personality and abilities. Whether we’re working on communication skills, enjoying creative play, or simply sharing a laugh, I make sure every moment counts. Parents can feel confident knowing their child is in caring, capable hands with someone who genuinely loves what they do and understands the importance of building trust and connection.

Nathaly 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Nathaly! I’m a proud mom of two and bring years of hands-on parenting experience to the families I work with. Having homeschooled my children, I’m not only comfortable keeping kids engaged but also love to make learning fun through reading, crafts, and interactive play. 🍎 What I Offer • Nurturing, patient care with a mother’s touch • Healthy meal prep (I love to cook!) • Light housekeeping, laundry, and organizational help • A structured but warm approach that makes children feel safe and cared for. Other parents often tell me that they feel at ease knowing I’ve been in their shoes. I understand what it means to balance busy schedules, trust someone with your little ones, and want peace of mind at home. I take pride in being dependable, calm under pressure, and someone your kids will genuinely enjoy spending time with.

“Great last-minute babysitter while I was visiting town! I have two kids and they absolutely loved having her around they even asked if they could see her again. Super grateful for her help!”

"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."
