Hi my name is Chuck and I love working with pets. I've been working with them for over 5 years now. I do it full time and have gained so much experience that has helped keep me and the pets I take care of safe and happy. I get a personal joy from knowing that these beautiful animals are taken care of and that their owners are happy with the job I've done. I'm always happy and ready to do it again and again

Booked by 1 family in Rockaway Park, NY

Hi there! My name is Rosa and I currently live in Brooklyn. I have experience babysitting toddlers from 3-5 as well as children from 7-12. I pride myself in being a fun, reliable, responsible, kind and patient caregiver. Aside from babysitting, I also have previous experience working as a housekeeper and can offer my services in the household with light cooking and cleaning. I love helping younger minds explore their creative side with fun activities, games and arts and crafts. I am also fluent in Spanish if needed! :)

“Rosa has been a great sitter and took gppd care of my 2-year old daughter Stella :) Whenever she's around, I could hear Stella giggling in the other room. She was super patient and took the time to find interesting activities to keep her engaged. She's also very nice and easy to get along with. Too bad she's moving to another neighborhood, otherwise I'm definitely happy to keep her as a long-term sitter!”

Andrea $30 per hour for 1 child

With nine years of professional childcare experience and my Newborn Care Specialist certification, I bring both hands-on experience and specialized newborn training to the families I support. Caring for children has been my passion since I began working part-time in a daycare during high school, and that passion has grown into a fulfilling career as a dedicated nanny and infant care professional. I have experience working with children from newborn through school-age in daycare, YMCA, and private in-home settings. However, supporting families during the newborn and infant stage is especially meaningful to me. As a certified Newborn Care Specialist, I am trained in newborn development, sleep conditioning, feeding support (breast and bottle), establishing healthy routines, soothing techniques, and maintaining a safe sleep environment. I understand how important those early weeks and months are, and I strive to provide calm, knowledgeable, and nurturing support to both baby and parents. In my nanny roles, I take on all childcare-related responsibilities including bottle prep, diapering, sleep scheduling, developmental play, tummy time, milestone tracking, baby laundry, sanitizing, and maintaining a structured yet loving environment. As children grow, I incorporate educational activities, creative play, outdoor exploration, and transportation to scheduled activities. My goal is always to encourage imagination and development while helping children confidently reach their milestones. Beyond experience and credentials, I value forming strong, respectful bonds with families. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and flexible available for travel, overnights, late stays, and date nights. I have my own vehicle, can provide a car seat if needed, and I am fully vaccinated and American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I understand that choosing someone to care for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. I am committed to listening carefully to your concerns, respecting your parenting style, and ensuring your child feels safe, supported, and loved every day in my care. I would be honored to support your family during this special season of growth and development.

"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."
