Kristel Ann $35 per hour for 1 child

I am excited about the opportunity to become a full-time or part-time nanny for your family. I have over 7+ years of hands-on experience working with busy parents and their children providing dependable childcare while also helping managing the household to make everyday life easier for families. I completed my certification in 2021 for LTSS (Long-Term Services and Support) in Montreal, Canada. I speak both English and French fluently. I moved here from Canada over a year ago. I currently live in Brooklyn, NY. I also have over 5+ years of experience working as an orderly (PAB) for seniors privately, within retirement homes and CHSLDs. I take pride in supporting children’s healthy development, academic success, and overall well-being. Communication with parents is very important to me. I make it a priority to check in with parents regularly to discuss their children’s progress, development, any concerns or expectations. I am available Monday to Friday (weekends in urgent cases only). I am able to complete school drop-offs and picks-ups, if it’s within walking distance of your home. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, reliability, organization, and genuine care for children to your family. I’m happy to provide references, and my phone number upon request. I recently discovered urbansitter, prior to this, I was placed directly with families by an agency in Astoria. I would be happy to provide their contact info as they also have all my references on file. Thank you for considering me. I hope to hear from you soon! 😊

Molly $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Molly, I’m a full-time Montessori infant teacher, and I have experience working with children from 6 months to 13 years old! I'm passionate about the Montessori philosophy and love creating child-led experiences that encourage independence, creativity, and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities are making art, reading, spending time outdoors, and exploring nature. I'm looking for a part-time evening position (around 6–11 PM) with a family I'd love to build a long-term relationship with, ideally growing into a full-time role. P.S. I'm allergic to cats, but I'm happy to care for any other pets!

Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

I have worked with children and young people from ages 2-16. I have been a caretaker for numerous families since 2022. I also worked in the Family Programs department of the New-York Historical Society as a museum educator. At the museum, I specialized in early childhood education with ages 3-8. This past academic year I was a teaching assistant for the high school programs at the Clive Davis Institute at Tisch.

“A kind, warm caregiver who asks all the right questions! Sumaya was a stellar communicator and my son loved spending time with her. Definitely hope to work with her again soon. ”

"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."
