Sanda $20 per hour for 1 child

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. With all my skills and experience, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, and fun environment for your little ones.

Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, 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.

Mekdelawit $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mekdelawit, and I’m currently a senior at Fordham University studying Economics. I’ve been working with children since I was 12 years old and truly love what I do. I bring an energetic, easygoing, and dependable approach to every family I work with. My experience spans all age groups from newborns to pre-teens covering everything from school pick-ups and activity transportation to meal prep, homework help, and diaper changes. Alongside childcare, my background includes six years in high-touch guest relations at establishments like Little Owl and Le Coucou. That experience trained me to anticipate needs, communicate clearly, and stay calm and proactive under pressure skills that translate directly into running a smooth, well-organized household. Thanks to this background, I’m very comfortable with running errands, light housekeeping, and household management. I’m also a big animal lover! Having grown up in a multi-pet home, I am well-versed in caring for dogs, cats, reptiles (like bearded dragons), hedgehogs, betta fish, and parakeets. I’m happy to provide strong references upon request to give your family complete peace of mind. I look forward to connecting and seeing how I can best support your household!

"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."
