Wyatt $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Wyatt, I'm 23, and I recently graduated Columbia University. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have lots of experience with kids, both as a babysitter (since middle school) and as a summer camp counselor (throughout high school and college). I have minimal experience with toddlers and no experience with infants, but would love the opportunity to gain experience with these ages. As a babysitter, my responsibilities have included driving to/from school, tutoring, and even drum lessons! I love doing magic tricks, playing games, and doing arts and crafts! I also can work as a household assistant and cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am happy to cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks!

Laurel 4 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Woodhaven, NY

Hello Parents! *Available for weekend and occasional care in the 2025-26 school year.* My name is Laurel. I really enjoy being a nanny and babysitting. I am very engaging with children and we have tons of fun together. This past year I have been a nanny for an adorable three year old girl in Park Slope. I will be continuing with them in the fall. I will have availability for weekend and occasional care during the upcoming 2025-26 school year. I have experience with a range of ages from toddlers to preteens. I’ve got a great sense of humor and can be playful. I truly enjoy reading stories to kids. My current favorites are the Frog and Toad books. I can help your older child with homework too. I’m very patient, kind, creative and reliable. I have experience with neurodivergent kids, including ADHD and those on the autism spectrum. As a native New Yorker I’m familiar with the public parks, playgrounds, libraries and kid friendly museums. I’m comfortable taking kids on the bus or subway. I’m LGBTQIA+ friendly, CPR/First Aid Certified and Youth Mental Health First Aid trained. I’m a non smoker and Covid vaccinated and boosted. I recently had a MMR booster as well. I’m comfortable around pets and enjoy their company. Reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family. I’d be happy to talk with you on a video call about your childcare needs.

“Laurel has been a transformative presence in our children's lives. She began nannying for our family when our now-three y/o entered preschool at two years, nine-months. Laurel has been an outstanding caregiver, helping to guide our three-year-old through significant developmental steps, including but not limited to school day routines (drop-off and pick-up), getting dressed by oneself, potty-training, consistent napping, and the range of big feelings common to preschool-aged children. Laurel is steady, calm, and direct with the children; she affirms their individual agency while setting clear boundaries and expectations for safe and caring behavior. She helps them work towards goals at their own pace and enables their self-sufficiency while also providing lots of thoughtful support. Our other child is eleven years old and Laurel offers age-appropriate space to foster independence in this older sibling. She is creative in the games that she plays with both children and always gets our younger one into the park for some outdoor exploration, rain or shine. In our dealings, she is punctual, unflaggingly reliable, and professional. We cannot recommend Laurel enough!”

Miel 3 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Woodhaven, NY

Hi! My name is Miel, and I am a 20-year-old student at the University of Texas at Austin, where I study Health and Society on the pre-med track. I'm from New York and currently live in Brooklyn! I have been babysitting for several years and have experience caring for children of different ages, including helping with homework, preparing meals and snacks, organizing activities, managing bedtime routines, and ensuring children feel safe and supported while their parents are away. In addition to babysitting, I worked with first graders through The GO Project, a nonprofit educational program in New York City. In this role, I helped students with reading and math, supported classroom activities, encouraged positive behavior, and built meaningful relationships with children from diverse backgrounds. This experience strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to connect with young children in a fun and engaging way. I am CPR-aware, highly responsible, organized, and dependable. As a pre-med student with experience volunteering in pediatric healthcare settings, I am comfortable remaining calm under pressure and attentive to children's needs. I love arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities, games, and helping children learn and build confidence. Families describe me as warm, mature, trustworthy, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel happy, supported, and cared for.

“Excellent babysitter.”

"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."
