Hi! My name is Kat! I’m 28 years old and based in Manhattan. I was born and raised in Manhattan and currently live in the financial district. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from George Washington University and am a former Division I athlete. These experiences have shaped the way I care for children, with an emphasis on patience, empathy and consistency. I have been nannying throughout my life, with my most recent position lasting four years. I worked part-time, five days a week, with a family of three children ages 6, 8, and 10, and became a steady, trusted presence in their daily lives. From helping with homework and daily routines to offering emotional support and encouragement, I truly enjoyed being part of their growth. The family has since relocated, and I am now excited to find a new family where I can build a similar long-term connection! In addition to childcare, I’m a music producer and songwriter, which allows me to bring creativity, joy, and calm energy into the home. I’m someone who leads with kindness, listens closely, and values creating a safe, supportive, and loving environment where children feel seen and cared for. I am currently open to either a full-time or part-time nanny position and would love the opportunity to become a dependable and caring support for your family.
Hi parents! I have experience teaching, tutoring, and nannying ages 1-14. I have a degree in Psychology focused on developmental and educational coursework from Northeastern University. I volunteered to teach in high school classrooms and tutor ages 9-14 throughout college and then taught in an after school program for ages 11-12. I worked as an assistant teacher at Reade Street Prep in Tribeca for ages 2-5 in English and Spanish classrooms. Most recently, I have worked for a family nannying for an 8 and 11 year old after school. I am a writer and artist and can bring fun, creative projects to your child's life. I am happy to help with homework for all ages and subjects including Spanish. I have babysat for all ages and grew up taking care of nieces and nephews. I am warm, energetic, and absolutely love working with children. I am a certified yoga teacher and outdoor enthusiast. I am Scuba rescue certified, giving me strong knowledge of emergency response and staying calm under pressure. It's important to me to understand a family's values and routine to ensure consistency in care for your little ones. I am CPR/AED certified and have a valid New York State background check.
Hi, I’m Sophie, and by day I work as an advocate counselor at a High School in Manhattan, which I have been doing for three years (I love it)! In my job, clear communication, trust, and honesty are integral. I work to keep kids engaged, on track, motivated, and to build their confidence. With that comes lots of chatting and working to make connections. I have been babysitting since I was in High School, and I have taken care of kids ages 2 months to 8 years old. Most of my babysitting has been with babies sustaining long-term relationships with families, and watching these babies grow into toddlers. I’m an avid sports fan, I play the New York Times games daily, and I’m always willing to try something new. My friends and family would describe me as outgoing, loyal, honest, and having a strong sense of humor! Clear communication, established boundaries, and fun are at the core of my work. I look forward to connecting, and thank you for entrusting me with your littles!
Hi! My name is Paige and I am currently a Radio City Rockette and Dance Teacher here in New York. I received my BFA from the University of Southern California, and have been teaching and babysitting kids since I was 16 years old! I am patient, hard working, creative, and love being with little ones!
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.”

"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."
