Trinity $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! - My name is Trinity, and I am an actor/ performer here in New York, coming from a background of musical theatre and comedy with a touch of writing on the side. I have a heavy performance background in a variety of arts such as singing, dancing, and acting. I've been a student of the craft for the majority of my school and business life. I love performing, and I love the flexibility that comes with being an actor. I’ve spent lots of time around kids in childcare settings and also in teaching settings. As a side hobby, I also teach dance classes for adults and children. I love teaching dance classes and getting to work with people of all ages! I’m also a huge animal lover and have 2 beautiful cats of my own! Whether it’s kids, cats, or adults, I find it most important to meet you where you’re at so we can really work together.

Vincent $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello ! My name is Vi, I'm an artist offering childcare, seniorcare, petcare, and household services. I love spending time with kids, I even used to be one myself ! I taught children ages 3-8 various sports through my hometown's parks and recreation department for 2 years. I'm happy to tutor, make art, chaperone, and more. I offer household services as well, including cooking, cleaning, errands, and so on. I have a drivers license but don't have a car. When it comes to seniors, I've taken care of my grandmother bringing her to appointments and making sure she's fed and happy. I'm skilled at technology teaching/troubleshooting, and I love listening to people talk. I adore all pets and have a cat of my own, I just ask for clear instructions and I'm more than happy to accommodate (that goes for everything).

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Meg! I’m a outdoorsy, kind, & dependable babysitter and current grad student based in Brooklyn with my own car. I have been in childcare for as long as I can remember — I earned my first Red Cross certification in 5th grade and have since worked in a variety of childcare capacities. Growing up in Colorado gave me a deeply rooted appreciation for spending time outdoors, and I enjoy planning active adventures and exploring parks whenever possible. I enjoy volunteering in NYC for Girls on the Run and Achilles Kids. As a summer camp counselor for the Snowmass Club, I supervised groups of 15-30 campers between the ages of 5 and 12. I led weekly outdoor recreation trips ranging from local hikes to river rafting, prioritizing children's safety throughout. For 4 years, I volunteered for a peer mentorship program as a “Big Buddy” for elementary and middle school students. Building one-on-one relationships refined my ability to connect with children of different ages and personalities. During the pandemic, I supported several families in a tutor role, helping elementary students remain engaged with remote learning while preparing lunch and planning craft projects.

“Megan worked as one of my top camp counselors and had a magic way with the kiddos. The camp was ages 5-12 and she could mesh with anybody! Quick on her toes and the most caring counselor we had.”

Hi! I’m Agostina, a 25-year-old from Argentina. I love children and connect naturally with them. I bring warm, positive energy and enjoy making them feel happy and comfortable. I speak Spanish and am still learning English, so my English is basic.

Jalani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jalani and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household support. I started working with kids in high school while helping at a daycare, and since then I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my goddaughter and friends’ children of different ages. I focus on making sure little ones feel safe, comfortable, fed, and genuinely looked after. I’m patient, attentive, and I love creating a smooth, happy environment for the kids I’m with. I also have experience with pet sitting, especially dogs and cats, and have stayed with pets for several days at a time. I’m reliable with routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and cared for while their owners are away. For house sitting, I’m organized, responsible, and great at keeping a home tidy and running smoothly. I’m someone families feel comfortable trusting with their space and their loved ones. I bring a warm, positive presence and communicate clearly so you always know everything is taken care of. Looking forward to working with you and your family! x

"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."
