Booked by 20 families in Thornwood, NY

Hi, I'm Megan. I'm a writer and experienced nanny and babysitter looking for part-time or occasional jobs in Westchester or Manhattan! Previously, I was a nanny for a sweet 2 year old, working five days a week with him doing snacks, lunch, nap time, and lots of playtime and outdoor exploring. And I’ve been a daily after school/after camp babysitter for kids ages 8-12. I’ve also worked as a group teacher at an after school program, caring for kids in kindergarten through fourth grade. I've been babysitting since I was a teenager—through high school, college, and grad school. I have experience with kids aged 10 months-12 years, and I love crafts, games, and playing sports with kids. I’m also certified in CPR, anaphylaxis response, and school-age child health and safety. In my spare time I enjoy tennis, visiting museums, and bingeing tv. I'm looking forward to meeting new families -- please contact me if you have any questions!

Megan was warm, professional and clearly very experienced with caretaking for children.

Jodi 1 review
Tarrytown
$35 per hour for 1 child

I’m a mom of 23–year old twin girls, and I ran Mom & Baby Infant Development classes for four years. I now babysit for two local families with one toddler each. I’m located in downtown Tarrytown. References upon request.

Jodi is an amazing sitter! She started caring for our daughter, Rory, when she was about 1 and had a lot of stranger danger. Jodi has a really friendly and joyful way with children and Rory immediately warmed to her. Now whenever Jodi comes over, Rory does a happy dance and is so excited to see her. I can leave the room, get ready upstairs, and then say goodbye without any drama from my very “mommy-centric” toddler. It’s amazing. Jodi sends us lots of photos and videos, and Rory is always laughing, having an amazing time. Can’t recommend Jodi enough, she’s been such a game changer for us, letting us go on dates and actually enjoy them, knowing our daughter is in great hands.

Booked by 1 family in Thornwood, NY

Hi,my name is Angela and am very interested in the nanny position available in your household. I have been a nanny for the past 20years and worked with 4 wonderful families. I have taken care of kids of all ages, from newborn to preteen who are well mannered and respectful children. I am willing to do light housekeeping which entails cooking for the children, cleaning and doing everything pertaining to them. I am a very fun, responsible, kind, patient and respectful person who loves children and making their needs and wants my number one priority. I also love reading, singing and playing games with the children, using my imagination with them, going for walks, making play dates and going to the library. Thank you.

"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."
