Rowan $14 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Rowan and I’m a college freshman at Pace university, and I graduated from the South Carolina governors school for arts and humanities. I have studied theatre for the past 2 years now train with a directing focus. I have a campus job currently but as a side job I’d love to work as a sitter of any kind as it’s the most flexible schedule out of any I have a ton of experience with younger kids through my time in Girl Scouts, and have gaining strong leadership skills through my directing experience. Overall I am very enthusiastic and would give your children a safe space to roam in while you are away!

Bella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Bella. I've spent close to a decade with private families — first in Southern California where I grew up, and now in New York. I'm calm under pressure, comfortable with infants through tweens (including kids with special needs and twins), and I think the best nannies are the ones whose presence makes the apartment feel a degree quieter, not louder. I'm pursuing a master's in Computer Science at Pace University, live in Tribeca, and can be at most downtown apartments in fifteen minutes. References available from every family I've worked with. Always happy to start with a paid trial day. Rates run $30–$40/hr depending on the day and number of kids.

Ayodele $25 per hour for 1 child

With over twenty years of experience caring for children across a wide range of ages and needs including medically complex and special needs care. I bring a calm, reliable, and highly professional presence to every home and team I support. My background is unique in that it bridges caregiving, household management, personal assistance, and military service. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I developed a strong sense of discipline, responsibility, and crisis response that continues to guide my work. More recently, I have provided specialized one-on-one care for a child with complex medical and developmental needs, supporting daily routines, therapy sessions, medical coordination, and emotional regulation with both structure and compassion. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked as a House Manager and Personal Assistant, managing schedules, travel, confidentiality, and day-to-day home operations. I am known for being proactive, highly organized, and deeply respectful of family dynamics and privacy. I understand that trust is the foundation of this type of work, and I take that responsibility seriously. I bring warmth, consistency, and professionalism to every role. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive and families feel supported. I would be honored to contribute my experience, dedication, and care to your home.

"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."
