Shania 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hey, my name is Shania, and I'm from Queens, New York. I am a caring and loving individual who enjoys taking care of children. Growing up in high school, my first jobs were working in daycare and summer camps to help with the children, and I've been a private nanny for the past two years, dealing with children ages one to ten. I am a really adventurous individual who adores nature. I enjoy being a nanny because I am able to assist parents by providing a comfortable, enjoyable, imaginative, and consistent environment for their children to enjoy.

“Had Ms Shania babysit my daughter for 2 weeks and my daughter cried when she left. She's a great babysitter and is very attentive. I'd recommend her to anyone. Whenever, I come back to New York, I'll definitely have her babysit my baby girl.”

Jennifer 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Jenny and I am originally from Seattle but I lived in Boston for 10 years and now in Brooklyn for the last 3 years. I am a professional vocalist and perform for high end wedding and events in the city and country. Caring for others and making someone else's day or week a little bit easier makes me happy. I want to live in a world where people are caring, emphatic, and create real connections with each other. I've been baby sitting and helping others since I was a kid - I nannied for 2 boys in Newton, MA for about a year after college (ages 2 and 6). Any after school pickup, homework help, and dinner help - I'm your girl! If your child is at all interested in music, I would love to be a part of that. I love all animals and I feel comfortable cleaning, cooking, and driving. I have a clean driving record, a safe car (subaru) and a caring bubbly demeanor. I haven't been in childcare for a while because I've been professionally singing most of the time but I love the brooklyn community and figured I could get involved again in my own neighborhood.

“Jennifer is fantastic! She is extremely professional and reliable, and I had no issues leaving her with my daughter. She was able to handle dinner and bedtime with our toddler, and was great in their playful interactions. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

Booked by 1 family in Woodhaven, NY

Hi, I’m Mike! I live in Williamsburg and have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re out of town. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding time, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I love spending time outside (especially with a furry friend by my side), and when I’m not with pets or hanging out with friends, you’ll probably find me reading a good book or planning my next travel adventure. Additionally, I spent my 20s teaching English across the world, am TEFL certified, and have 1:1 tutored dozens of ESL students. My experience is mainly in a classroom environment but I grew up in a big extended family and love being around kids as well as pets of all kinda.

“Mike was so wonderful and my dog Arthur quickly warmed up to him”

Alejandra 2 reviews
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Alejandra. I am a costume designer and a naturalized American citizen, originally from Colombia. I moved to New York eight years ago and have been involved in the art world since I was a teenager. I love good music, visiting museums, hiking, going for walks, and appreciating the simple joys of life. Babysitting was my first job when I moved to the U.S., and to this day, it remains my favorite job. I truly enjoy the company of kids—their humor, creativity, and sense of freedom. I have about two years of professional experience, not including a lifetime of caring for my little cousins. I would love to have a child of my own one day, and I will care for your kids the way I would want my future babysitter to care for mine. Sincerely, Alejandra

“I have known Alejandra for almost 17 years and she has covered several times for her mom babysitting my children who adored her and she has also worked for my business for several years. I highly recommend her as a babysitter!”

Samantha 2 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Sam! I’m 25 years old and have over six years experience in babysitting. I am the oldest of 3 girls and always looked after them growing up. I’ve also worked as an assistant summer camp counselor with second graders. I enjoy working with children and providing a safe and fun environment for them. I love crafts, playing games and inventing stories to keep children engaged without relying on screens.

“I am writing this to recommend Samantha Sanchez as a babysitter. She has been an incredible help to my family and a truly wonderful caregiver to my son who is 2 years old. From the beginning, Samantha demonstrated a natural connection with kids. She is responsible, punctual, and always brings a positive, cheerful energy into our home. My son looked forward to spending time with her and felt safe and happy in her care. She is dependable and proactive, whether it’s organizing fun and educational activities, helping with meals, or keeping things tidy. I’ve never had any concerns about her work ethic or reliability. I would highly recommend Samantha for any babysitting or childcare position. I’m confident that she will provide the same level of excellent care for your family as she did for mine. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at [email protected] or 347-301-9760”

"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."
