Myleah 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
$22 per hour for 1 child
My name is Myleah and I’m a 19 yo sophomore at NYU. I am so excited to work with you and your family! Child care is my passion, so any child in my care will be treated as so. I’ve been babysitting for 3 years and was a camp counselor in 2025. I have experience working with infants-14year olds, so I’m open to all! My favorite activity to do with children is play pretend, crafts, dancing, and singing! I’m also open to sports and cater to children’s special interests. I can help tutor, cook, paint, etc! I am CPR and First Aid Trained, as well as a mandated reporter.
“We have had Myleah in our family a couple times and she’s been an amazing and reliable babysitter for us. My little ones love her. She arrives on time and asks many needed questions to give my kids the best care. She is dependent and trustworthy. In addition, my kids have great time with her and she even helps around the house and helps kids with homework. Overall very great.”
Meeka $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Inwood, NY
Hi, I’m Meeka! I just moved to new york and I’m currently in college and will be graduating this December with a degree in Finance. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and for the past 4 years I’ve gained nannying experience with children from infancy through age 12. I’ve also handled a few overnight stays, so I’m comfortable with longer care when needed. I love building fun, safe, and nurturing environments for kids, and I’m patient and adaptable to each child’s needs. Alongside childcare, I’m also great with pets—I have two dogs of my own and absolutely love cats, so furry family members are always a bonus for me! I look forward to supporting families with reliable care, whether it’s for a few hours or something more regular.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
