Hannah $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m 19 years old and graduated high school in 2025. I’m starting college this year and will be taking my coursework remotely, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to be very available to a family. I’m currently looking for a live in nanny/family assistant position I genuinely enjoy being around children and love getting to know their individual personalities, interests, and hobbies so I can create activities they truly enjoy. I’m happy to help with routines, homework, meals, playtime, bedtime, reading, creative activities, outdoor time, and keeping their spaces organized. I’m also happy to support the household while children are at school by handling laundry, organizing bedrooms and play areas, tidying, grocery shopping, errands, meal prep, and preparing things for their return from school. I’m proactive and like to notice what needs to be done without waiting to be asked. Because I’ll be studying remotely, I have an extremely flexible schedule and am available for family travel, overnight care, and schedule changes with advance notice. I’m not currently driving yet, but I’m very comfortable being active and walking longer distances, as well as using public transportation. I’m also willing to arrange and cover my own transportation when needed. I understand the importance of privacy, discretion, and respecting each family’s home and routines. I take their trust seriously and want parents to feel confident knowing their children are cared for. I’m dependable, eager to learn, and committed to becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I’m looking for a long-term role where I can become a trusted part of their routine. If you’re looking for more than just a babysitter, someone who can support your children while also helping your household run smoothly I’d love to connect.

Marisol $30 per hour for 1 child

I am 26 year old, have my bachelors degree in Forensics Psychology, experience in driving, running errands and decorating/creating events, cooking small snacks for the kiddos. I have nieces and nephews who I have babysat in the past before they moved to Pennsylvania. My mom is a nanny of 16 years and I have seen her multitask when she began when the little girl was 2 weeks old. I've taken the skills of my mom and have helped me build confident to do the same. I've babysat the girl in the night as the mom would go to her events. I am very organized, detailed-oriented, communicative, punctual. Always willing to help in any way. Part time for nights and weekends, just a student trying to survive out here in nyc lol!

Arianna $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a patient and reliable caregiver based in Brooklyn. I genuinely love being around kids and helping them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I have experience working with children through previous jobs and babysitting, so I’m comfortable with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age kids. I’m very attentive and I love doing fun activities with them. I also offer pet care, and I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’ve had a dog, many cats, a bird, and a guinea pig, so I’m comfortable with different types of pets and their routines. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and cleanup, and I’m also comfortable with pets that shed and friendly larger dogs.

"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."
