Taylor $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Taylor! I am a rising junior at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University, and I have extensive experience in childcare. Last summer, I worked as a dance and movement teacher for campers ages (3-13) at Twin Spring Farm’s Day Camp & Preschool in Ambler, Pennsylvania. I’ve also served as a camp counselor at various theater camps and regularly babysit for families in the Abington, PA area and Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in a family of educators—my mother is an elementary school teacher—has shaped my approach to working with children and strengthened my empathy, patience, and communication skills. I am available all summer and would love to lend a helping hand with household tasks, animal care, and childcare!

Maryam 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maryam, and I am a New York Native. I take pride in caring for children like me who are born and raised in the city, and I always bring in their unique experiences within my care. I prioritize the safety and security of the children in my care, so I have an active certification in First Aid and CPR. On a professional level, I have experience working as a teacher at a non profit education program in Tribeca for children ages 6-9. I have also worked as a summer camp instructor for incoming first graders in East Harlem. On a personal level, I am the oldest of 4, and caregiving was a natural part of my childhood. For the age of 12, I was responsible for my younger siblings ages 1-9. I also provided care for other families in my neighborhood with them citing my dependability as the primary reason they trust me with their children who were in a similar age range to my siblings. Through these experience, I learned to be nurturing, creative, and responsible. I am able to plan fun and engaging activities, keep kids on a schedule, make healthy snack and light meals for children of every dietary restriction, and provide homework help. I especially love exploring the city, so I always incorporate activities that allows children to engage with their urban backyard. I also have experience caring for infants- feeding, diapering, burping, tummy time, nap time etc - and I have general knowledge of infant safety and development. I also learned that I need to remain flexible in order to adapt to the unique needs of the children in my care. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets, and I have a special affinity for cats. Caring for children comes naturally for me. I love to be there for every milestone and to guide them through every pain point, and I am excited to care for little ones through it all.

“Maryam was an incredible group leader to work alongside. She always created such a fun and positive environment for both the kids and staff. What stood out most was how patient and nurturing she was, especially when children were having emotional breakdowns. She handled every situation with kindness, empathy, and understanding, making each child feel safe, heard, and valued. Maryam also did an amazing job recognizing and rewarding positive behavior while constantly reminding the kids of their worth and encouraging them to believe in themselves. Her leadership, compassion, and genuine care made a lasting impact, and I truly enjoyed working with her.”

Kojenwa $25 per hour for 1 child

No, I’ve been in hospitality for years. I started my career as a babysitter, and eventually managed to handle several blocks during my university years. I love kids I’ve been around kids all of my life. I’ve been in charge of children, all of my life and have successfully seen my charges into adulthood even spanning into careers. I speak French fluently and love to challenge Kids with imaginary play conversation, engagement and crafting. Because I have a degree in visual arts. I’ve use this as a linchpin for communication and expression. I believe it’s important to use freedom of expression, creative play, and imagination to keep a child happy my inspirations are coming from Waldorf, Montessori educational models as well as Canadian Swedish and French training, Swedish methodology

"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."
