Lilly $25 per hour for 1 child

As the oldest of five children, being a big sister is my greatest accomplishment in life and has shaped me into the woman I am today! I’ve always had a passion for working with children. I studied Human Development and Family Science, and received a B.S. from Syracuse University in 2021. My primary studies centered around better understanding family dynamics and child development, which lead to my senior year internship working with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America in Syracuse. I mentored roughly 15 children (ages 14-10) in an after school learning program and created artistic/ academic activities to support their social and emotional learning skills. It was one of the most moving experiences in my professional career! I’ve also worked as a camp counselor, and have had numerous part-time babysitting gigs over the years. Ever since I can remember, I loved taking care of my little siblings. I’d have such a fun time making up silly characters and playing pretend, building forts, doing arts & crafts, hanging outside, helping them with homework, etc. I am very comfortable working with young children, and would love the opportunity to help out with your family! I would be more than happy to further explain my experiences, and to provide references- please let me know if you have any questions!

Shellie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Shellie, a caring, energetic, and flexible caregiver with 10+ years of experience working with kids from being a full-time nanny, summer camp counselor, and occasional babysitting. I have most of my experience working with toddlers and young children ages (2-10 years old), and kids with ADHD, selective mutism, and anxiety disorders. I’m currently a graduate student studying child psychology. I’m currently a nanny to a family with children ages 3 and 10 years old. This summer, I’m looking for a family to work with while school is out, and if you’re interested into the school year. I started babysitting when I was 16 years old and haven’t stopped working with kids as I love it so much! When I was an undergrad student I worked as a full-time nanny for 3+ years providing weekday care for a family with children ages 4, 6, and 8. In addition to supporting their daily school schedules and extracurriculars, I planned fun activities at home like various arts and crafts projects, scavenger hunts, and dance parties to outings to the aquarium, the beach and museums. I also completed household tasks like meal prep, grocery shopping, laundry, tidying up and general housekeeping. More about me: Born and raised in Miami Beach, FL, I love spending time outdoors playing soccer, cooking healthy homemade meals, and indulging in painting, baking, playing guitar, and reading.

Alessia 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver who truly values creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I’ve been caring for kids since I was young — starting as the oldest sibling helping raise my younger siblings, and later babysitting throughout my teenage years. Those early experiences helped me develop strong responsibility, attentiveness, and a natural ability to connect with children of different age

“Alessia has been an incredible caregiver for our family. She has taken care of our kids on multiple occasions—whether for date nights or other events—and every time has been a great experience. She is reliable, punctual, and naturally connects with children in a warm and engaging way. Our kids genuinely enjoy spending time with her, and we always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. Alessia is attentive, responsible, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

Holland 4 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Holland, I'm 24, and I am a part time graduate student (Masters in Forensic Psychology) based in Brooklyn, NY. I have a passion for social justice, safety, and the wellbeing of vulnerable individuals in our communities. In my free time I love to bake, read, and spend time with my cat, Bunny! I would describe myself as communicative, patient, and organized. I love to make sure everyone is on the same page at all times and highly value a collaborative approach when working with families and care teams. I have experience working in both private childcare (toddlers through middle school age) and as a mentor/behavior coach at state agencies (elementary through high school ages). I also have experience working with neurodivergent kiddos, including profound (nonverbal) autism and intellectual disabilities. I understand each child has their own strengths and difficulties, and I do my absolute best to meet them where they're at and in a manner that will be supportive to them and their goals. I am very comfortable with home tasks such as cleaning, cooking, organization, and schedule management. I am open to a family assistant role that includes all of the above if necessary (rate increases to reflect responsibilities, at least $5/hr for non-child related cleaning/cooking). As I am in grad school, I'm looking for a family with some flexibility as my schedule is subject to change each semester. I'd love to connect and discuss the specifics of my experience and get to know you. Please let me know if you have any questions!

“Holland is smart, kind, funny, intuitive, organized, and capable. In the several months she has worked for us she has taken excellent care of our young toddler son. He absolutely loves her and so do we. Not only does she make sure he eats enough, drinks water, naps on time, and has lots of fun playtime, but when he is napping she efficiently tidies and restores order to our home. I am particular about the house and she has no problems meeting my high standards. She is an excellent communicator and a quick learner who takes feedback well and integrates it easily. Holland is a gem. We will miss her so much when she leaves our area!”

"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."
