Sarah $38 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Sarah, and I'm originally from just outside of Boston. I am starting my Master's in School Counseling at Columbia University this fall to become a licensed elementary school counselor. I've been living in the Morningside Heights area for the past year and a half. I'm looking for a position with flexibility around my class schedule. I've been babysitting, working with, and volunteering with children since I was a teenager. I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy getting to know each child's personality and interests. I'd love to find a family I can work with consistently throughout the school year!
Chloe $19 per hour for 1 child
NYC born and raised (Lower Manhattan), I've been babysitting kids ages 1–12 for years and genuinely love it. Whether it's completing a puzzle on the living room floor, exploring the city together, or picking them up from practice or class, I'm happiest spending time with kids and keeping them engaged. I'm experienced with the full routine from meals, bedtime, baths, the works, and I take full responsibility to make sure everything is taken care of for the child. I have a very flexible schedule over the next few weeks before heading back to college, so I can work around your family's needs.

"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."
