Lorraine $33 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable mom of three with many years of hands-on experience raising children from infancy through school age. I truly love being with little ones and creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, happy, and understood. When my own children were babies and toddlers, I made their baby food, followed gentle routines, and focused on healthy meals, naps, and lots of one-on-one attention — and I bring that same thoughtful, nurturing care to the families I work with. I believe children learn best through connection and play, so I spend time on the floor engaging with little ones, reading stories, encouraging imaginative play, and getting outside for fresh air and nature walks whenever possible. I’m patient, warm, and very reliable, and I understand how important trust is when you leave your child with someone. I also know that with children, not every moment runs perfectly — and that’s okay. I stay calm, flexible, and supportive when days feel busy or unpredictable. I’m also very comfortable caring for school-age children and helping them stay engaged after busy school days with reading, creative activities, and homework support or gentle direction as needed. I provide in-home care and do not transport children by car, but I’m happy to walk children to and from nearby schools, parks, or activities when appropriate. I value working in partnership with parents, respecting family routines and parenting styles, and communicating openly about each child’s needs and progress. I’m attentive about safety and creating a secure environment, and families can count on me to be punctual and dependable. I’m also comfortable around pets — I’ve cared for fish, guinea pigs, and reptiles, and I adore dogs (cats are lovely too!). I’m happy to provide both consistent weekday care and dependable evening or date-night help so parents can feel confident and at ease. What families can count on from me: 💚Calm, attentive care for infants & toddlers 💚Engaging floor play, reading, & outdoor time 💚Homework help & supportive routines for school-age kids 💚Support with meals, snacks, & nap 💚A caregiver who partners with parents & respects family routines 💚Comfort in homes with pets 💚Reliable help for weekday care & evening/date nights

Cynthia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Cynthia. I'm a 25-year-old college student working towards a career in food science after running my own vegan cake business for the past 4 years. I love cooking, jazz music, and kids! Because of my schooling, I've decided to resort to more flexible, unconventional jobs so I have the opportunity to study and work. I've spent the past 7 years in every childcare/childcare-related work field you could think of (lol). I am available almost every weekday mornings and afternoons! I'm extroverted, patient and affectionate, and very loving when it comes to all children. I only believe in a calm, rational and loving approach to dealing with our young, as we are the examples that are set before them. I can't wait to meet your family!

Elina $28 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently a junior at the University at Buffalo, majoring in Communications and minoring in Psychology. I’m super responsible, love working with kids, and would be happy to help out however I can. I’m home for the summer and looking to babysit! Last summer, I worked with a bunch of amazing families around the town of Armonk. I also spent the summer prior working in the daycare area at the Whippoorwill Country Club—so I’ve had lots of experience with kids of all ages. Additionally, I have younger cousins who I am constantly babysitting for, so I am always in tune with children’s needs. I’ve always had a natural bond with kids and truly enjoy hanging out with them, whether it’s playing, or just keeping them entertained and safe.

"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."
