Mehak $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mehak and I am about to wrap up my third year in a school-clinical child psychology doctoral program. I have been working with kids and adolescents of various ages over the past 10 years during my undergraduate and graduate careers. I am passionate and hopeful about becoming a child psychologist in the future, specifically implementing types of therapy such as play therapy and creative arts therapy. I think this sets me up for success when it comes to interacting with children because I prioritize a solution-focused and strengths-based approach when navigating issues related to discipline and educating children. Outside of my work in psychology, I love seeing live music, comedy shows, doing karaoke with friends, and exploring restaurants and dessert shops with friends. I also really love going to the beach during the summer and journaling!

emely $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oakland Gardens, NY

I currently work at a charter school and am a senior at Hunter College majoring in Mathematics with a minor in History. As a parent of two children in preschool and kindergarten, I understand how important patience, safety, and routine are for young kids. I am looking for a temporary nanny position that could possibly become long-term if schedules align. I have experience working with children in both school and home settings, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel supported. I am reliable, caring, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for children.

Evangeline $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Evangeline and I am currently focusing on my creative skills as I transition out of my engineering career. I offer child care and household support with patience, reliability, and strong problem-solving and communication skills. I have been working with children since I was 13, including babysitting multiple kids, teaching Sunday school, and leading summer STEM programs for teens. In my previous role as an engineer, I also provided support and care to children, who had various seizure disorders, during their EEG tests. I’m adaptable and welcome children with ASD, although I haven’t taken care of those at the higher level, I grew up with a sibling on the spectrum and have several friends with ASD, as well. I enjoy all kinds of activities, including crafts, music, outdoor play, tutoring, reading, and creative projects, and I bring my experience as an artist to make activities engaging and fun. I have all of the required children’s clearances for working with kids, which I obtained for my professional work. I have also helped with household management, including meal prep, cleaning, and organizing. While I do not typically offer pet care, I am open depending on the situation. I enjoy creating a safe and supportive environment for children and helping families with their daily routines and needs. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Kristen $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kristen, and I would describe myself as caring, kind, and loving. I truly enjoy working with children and teens because of how genuine, creative, and full of potential they are. Growing up, I often cared for my nephews and nieces, and when my mom had my younger sister, I naturally stepped into a “second mom” role. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the ability to connect with children of different ages. I hold a college degree and I am CPR certified, which I believe provides an added sense of trust and security for families. Over the years, I have gained experience in babysitting, tutoring, and companion care, as well as pet sitting and light household support. I am also bilingual (English/Spanish), which I find to be a great advantage when helping children with language learning or schoolwork. In my free time, I enjoy coloring, going to the park, listening to music, trying new things, and going on little adventures. I am dependable, organized, and respectful, and one thing you should know about me is that I will care for your children as if they were my own. I am excited about the opportunity to become part of your family and to share not only my support and skills but also my warmth and dedication. I look forward to the chance to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children while learning from your culture and sharing mine.

"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."
