NaKea $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is NaKea. I currently have my bachelors in psychology and I have my Associates of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education. I have been in the childcare journey since 13, working in my mother's daycare and having my first summer youth job in a daycare. in 2019, I started my journey as a lead teacher working with toddlers and continuing my journey to work with school age children. I have been a lead teacher, admin assistant, camp assistant director as well as a health director. I am currently a Paraprofessional in DOE for preschool as I continue to work on my journey to become a teacher in the DOE System. I have a well rounded knowledge of working with toddlers to preschool and some school age children due to the many belts I have had on my childcare journey. I am able to travel as I have a car. I can help with homework, picking up from extra curricular activities, assisting with nap/bed time. I can provide a safe environment and will provide open communication to provide comfortability to all parties. I’m very detailed with providing key information regarding my day with your child and have different methods and working with each child’s individual needs.

Anacelis $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I have over 17 years of experience working with children and creating safe, supportive, and engaging environments. I’m CPR certified, lifeguard certified, and have spent the past 10 years teaching swim lessons to children of all ages, which has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to stay calm in emergencies. I also have experience as an overnight camp counselor, supervising children, supporting routines, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I enjoy building meaningful connections with kids while being reliable, attentive, and someone families can feel comfortable trusting with their care.

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Red Bank, NJ

Hi families! I’m a 30-year-old, reliable, energetic, and experienced sitter transitioning from a corporate career back to grad school for clinical psychology. I have been caring semi-regularly for children since I was 12 years old. I grew up with four siblings—two of whom are 12 years younger than me—and I played an active role in helping raise them. That hands-on experience continued through college and my corporate working life here in NYC with dozens of families (new to UrbanSitter, previously used HelloSitter). It has also recently come full circle as I’ve supported my siblings with their own babies, helping with everything from the sensitive postpartum newborn stage to chasing active toddlers. After several years in the corporate tech world, I’ve left to pursue my master’s degree. This schedule change allows me to return to what I genuinely love: hanging out with kids. I bring the “adult” reliability of a former professional (punctual, communicative, safety-conscious) mixed with the warmth and energy of a seasoned aunt/uncle. I am comfortable with all ages, confident with bedtime routines, and happy to help with homework or light meal prep. Looking forward to meeting your family! Note: I built the majority of my career in journalism, and I love tutoring if any kids need help with their homework or college essays!

“Mara is so wonderful. Very responsive, capable, warm, communicative… and my kids immediately liked her. ”

Jennifer $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I’m Jennifer — part-time nursing student, full-time fun-bringer, and your go-to babysitter with 5+ years of experience wrangling giggles, snacks, and sibling squabbles like a pro. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, but I especially love hanging out with those 6 and up! Babysitting isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely love. Helping kids learn, grow, and have fun is what got me started and what keeps me going. I’m calm, patient, creative, and known for being the “cool babysitter” (okay, maybe I said that—but still!). I’m happy looking after up to three kiddos at once, and I love activities that keep us all moving and thinking—like outdoor games, puzzles, board games, and crafts. I always stick to the rules you set, and I’ll keep you in the loop with updates however you prefer. Bottom line: I want to be someone you can trust and your kids are excited to see walk through the door. Let’s make babysitting awesome together!

Booked by 1 family in Red Bank, NJ

I'm a 37 year old mostly WFH advertising writer who loves dogs, cats, kids and has plenty of time to hang out with yours! I've pet sat since I was a kid and have always enjoyed helping out owners while getting quality time with a variety of fun pets. I live in Cobble Hill and am very close to several parks and paths where I love to walk. I’ve marked that I'm fine with pets being on the furniture (because who doesn’t love snuggles!) but we’ll enforce any rules you have for consistency.

“Sarah is an absolutely incredible dogsitter! She has watched my shiba inu, Goji, for several years and he is truly obsessed with her. Sarah is kind, responsible, reliable, and highly competent at dog care. We feel lucky to have found Sarah as a sitter and always trust that Goji is in good hands with her.”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
