Meaghan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Quinn (Meaghan is my legal name which you have to use to register). I'm a native New Yorker with over 10 years of experience working with children. I live in Brooklyn with my dog, Bagel. I've spent the last 2 years as a substitute teacher at 3 different schools & as an occasional babysitter. Previously, I worked as a Kindergarten teacher at Grace Church before ultimately deciding that, though I love working with kids, I did not want to pursue teaching as a career. I also spent 3 yrs at St. Luke's where I developed and taught my own afterschool classes. In my experience babysitting, I've worked for families with 1-3 kids, ages 1-13. I have extensive experience working with kids with learning disabilities/differences (autism, dyslexia, ADHD) as well as a range of different emotional/behavioral needs. Ideally looking for at least 20hrs/wk. I can guarantee a year's commitment, and likely would be able to stay on longer.

Debra $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Debra, and I am originally from Barbados. I am a caring, dependable, and hardworking caregiver with years of hands-on experience supporting both children and seniors. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including my own grandchild, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. I am patient, attentive, and love engaging kids in fun activities like reading, storytelling, and creative play. In addition to childcare, I have also been a dedicated caregiver for my elderly mother. This experience has made me compassionate, responsible, and attentive to the needs of seniors. I am comfortable assisting with daily activities, providing companionship, preparing meals, and helping with errands or appointments. I take pride in keeping a clean and organized home and enjoy cooking and baking. I am happy to help with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation to make daily life easier for families. Families can count on me to be reliable, respectful, and genuinely caring. I treat every home I work in with love and care, just like my own.

Marjon $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I'm MJ, or you can call me Miss MJ if you'd like. I'm a super fun and youthful babysitter who loves to make playtime extra special for the kids I take care of. I believe in the power of engaging activities and creating a nurturing environment where children can explore their creativity and have a blast. I've had the opportunity to work at two awesome daycare centers, one afterschool program, and have babysat for over four different families. Being part of a big family myself, I've been babysitting since I was a little kid, so I have experience with children of all ages. I've even had the privilege of working with children on the spectrum. I'm excited to bring my energy and vibrance into your little ones' lives. <3

"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."
