Daniel $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Dan, I just moved to NYC for acting school and I'm loving every minute here in this city! I absolutely love working with kids and have been nannying since I was 18. During college, I had the wonderful opportunity to work at an infant care center, and this past summer I was a counselor at a summer camp for kids ages 5–12, where I also taught drama and dance. I’m warm, patient, energetic, and dependable, and I love making kids laugh, getting creative, and finding fun ways to keep them engaged. I’m also an actor and have a background in improv, which definitely comes in handy when it’s time to be silly, make up ridiculous stories, or jump into whatever imaginative world the kids have created! I love helping kids feel safe, cared for, and completely comfortable being themselves. Whether we’re playing games, dancing around the living room, creating a silly adventure, or tackling homework, I’m always excited to make everyday moments fun!

Roxanne $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Roxanne, and I live in the Nassau County area. I have reliable transportation and several years of experience as a Home Health Aide caring for children, including those with disabilities and autism, as well as seniors. I am currently attending Nassau Community College, where I am pursuing a degree in Health Studies. Caring for others has always been my passion, which started at a young age as the oldest among my siblings and cousins. I am patient, compassionate, dependable, and organized. Along with providing attentive childcare, I am happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, and other household tasks. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children can grow and families feel supported.

Hi! I am a very reliable, patient, and creative person who enjoys the outdoors.My sitting experience has been caring for children, from infants to teenagers. With me, your children will receive appropriate care, and I'm willing to do additional other tasks if requested. Personally, I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, so minimum supervision is required.

Booked by 1 family in Oakland Gardens, NY

Hi, I’m Diane I treat every dog or cat I care for like they’re my own, with love, and patience As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of sticking to a routine, so if you have specific instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure to follow them closely. If your dog usually gets shorter walks, I’m happy to extend those to 45 minutes or more, depending on their needs. I’m also open to taking your pet to the dog park if that’s what they enjoy, or if they prefer some quieter indoor time, I’m more than happy to stay with them inside. Whether it’s a few days of sitting or just a walk, I’ll keep you updated with daily check-ins to make sure you know how your pet is doing. You can count on me to give your pet the same care and attention I give my own.

Hello, My name is Youma, I am 38 years old and I’m a mother of 6. I have 5 daughters and 1 son. Ages 18 , 16 , 14 , 14 , 12 , and 1. I have over 18 years of experience watching and raising children of my own. I want to start working as a caretaker because people have lives to live and usually can’t spend most of their days watching children, pets , or seniors. And I’m here to help those people out.

"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."
