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!

Mary Ellis $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 23-year-old recent NYU grad school graduate, originally from Alabama and a proud SMU alum. I just completed my Masters in Accounting and am pursuing a CPA license. I’m outgoing, friendly, and dependable, with a strong work ethic and a natural ability to connect with kids. I’ve been babysitting throughout my life and have experience with children of all ages! I love staying active and engaged— whether that’s going on walks, playing tennis, or doing Pilates—and I bring that same energy when caring for kids. I’m patient, organized, attentive, and always focused on creating a fun and safe environment. I’m currently based in NYC and have a full-time role starting in October, so I’m looking to support a family in the meantime. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to help both in and outside the home.

"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."
