Maryam 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maryam, and I am a New York Native. I take pride in caring for children like me who are born and raised in the city, and I always bring in their unique experiences within my care. I prioritize the safety and security of the children in my care, so I have an active certification in First Aid and CPR. On a professional level, I have experience working as a teacher at a non profit education program in Tribeca for children ages 6-9. I have also worked as a summer camp instructor for incoming first graders in East Harlem. On a personal level, I am the oldest of 4, and caregiving was a natural part of my childhood. For the age of 12, I was responsible for my younger siblings ages 1-9. I also provided care for other families in my neighborhood with them citing my dependability as the primary reason they trust me with their children who were in a similar age range to my siblings. Through these experience, I learned to be nurturing, creative, and responsible. I am able to plan fun and engaging activities, keep kids on a schedule, make healthy snack and light meals for children of every dietary restriction, and provide homework help. I especially love exploring the city, so I always incorporate activities that allows children to engage with their urban backyard. I also have experience caring for infants- feeding, diapering, burping, tummy time, nap time etc - and I have general knowledge of infant safety and development. I also learned that I need to remain flexible in order to adapt to the unique needs of the children in my care. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets, and I have a special affinity for cats. Caring for children comes naturally for me. I love to be there for every milestone and to guide them through every pain point, and I am excited to care for little ones through it all.

“Maryam was an incredible group leader to work alongside. She always created such a fun and positive environment for both the kids and staff. What stood out most was how patient and nurturing she was, especially when children were having emotional breakdowns. She handled every situation with kindness, empathy, and understanding, making each child feel safe, heard, and valued. Maryam also did an amazing job recognizing and rewarding positive behavior while constantly reminding the kids of their worth and encouraging them to believe in themselves. Her leadership, compassion, and genuine care made a lasting impact, and I truly enjoyed working with her.”

Taylor $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Taylor! I am a rising junior at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University, and I have extensive experience in childcare. Last summer, I worked as a dance and movement teacher for campers ages (3-13) at Twin Spring Farm’s Day Camp & Preschool in Ambler, Pennsylvania. I’ve also served as a camp counselor at various theater camps and regularly babysit for families in the Abington, PA area and Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in a family of educators—my mother is an elementary school teacher—has shaped my approach to working with children and strengthened my empathy, patience, and communication skills. I am available all summer and would love to lend a helping hand with household tasks, animal care, and childcare!

Brandis $26 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate and dedicated caregiver with over a decade of experience in supportive leadership roles within residential services. My extensive background includes overseeing operations, supervising teams, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality care. I have honed exceptional skills in crisis intervention and training development, which allow me to create a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children. Additionally, I have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, understanding their unique needs and fostering their development through tailored approaches. In my role as a caregiver, I also excel in household management, as I am skilled in cooking and cleaning, ensuring a comfortable and organized space for the children I care for. Being bilingual in English and Spanish enables me to effectively communicate with families from diverse backgrounds, fostering strong and positive relationships. I am genuinely enthusiastic about the opportunity to take on a babysitting or nanny position, where I can leverage my extensive experience to create and maintain nurturing environments that support children's growth and development. My commitment to providing attentive and compassionate care will ensure a positive and enriching experience for both the children and their families.

Booked by 3 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hi there! I'm Elizabeth. Im 22 years old and live in South Slope :). I recently graduated from John Jay College Of Criminal Justice. I have been caring for children for 8 years as a babysitter and as the oldest of 2 siblings. I have a lot of experience working with toddlers and grade school children. I’ve spent half my life watching over my younger twin sisters who are deaf. They’ve taught me ASL along the way, so that’s a plus! I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. When I'm not in school or babysitting, I enjoy biking and watching shows. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and would be happy to provide references if requested.

“I highly recommend Elizabeth as a babysitter. With her warm demeanor and responsible attitude, she creates a nurturing environment for children of all ages. Parents can trust her to prioritize safety while engaging kids in fun and educational activities. She is reliable, punctual, and has a natural affinity for connecting with children. Rest assured, Elizabeth will provide excellent care for your little ones, giving you peace of mind while you're away.”

"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."
