I have experience caring for kids and I’m naturally patient, responsible, and warm. I’m great at connecting with children, keeping them engaged, and making sure they feel safe and supported. I’m organized, dependable, and attentive to details, which helps with routines, household tasks, and caregiving needs.
Samaira $30 per hour for 1 child
I am a Pratt grad student with eight years of experience in nannying. I care for little ones ranging from 2 months old to 12 years old. I am CPR and First Aid for infants and adults. As a nanny, I support the family in tending to the children's basic needs and engage them in activities that promote their physical, emotional, and cognitive development. I like working with kids to alleviate pressures from parents & give them peace of mind as I help their children learn / reach milestones while ensuring they are safe. I'm looking for a job that allows me flexibility. Ideally M-F or date nights. Including a zoom meet & greet between us before I start.
Ava $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi— my name is Ava and I’m a current graduate student studying at Columbia University. I am offering childcare and household services. I love kids and have been working with them for the past 4 years. I have 3 years experience of teaching toddlers survival swim, and 2 years of teaching and camp counselor experience with elementary aged children. I have also been a babysitter for my own younger siblings, one of which has a disability. All of this experience has given me patience needed to work well with kids :) I enjoy doing outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and reading to kids. I can also clean and run errands. The one thing I cannot do is drive, but hopefully that is not too much of a problem in the city.

"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."
