Caitlyn $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi! My name is Caitlyn , I am 22 years old, and I have recently moved to California from New York. My love for working with children started when I was around 8 years old when my mother opened her own preschool. Since she opened her school I spent as much time as I could there, helping every summer during summer camps, brainstorming new craft ideas, and helping her make sure each day was fun and exciting for the children. Through working with her for years I was able to get babysitting jobs for a variety of families. I used my knowledge of fun activities, crafts, and games from working at the preschool to make sure every time I was a sitter was a fun time for the kids. I have always loved the way children keep me on my toes and keep me curious about the world. I currently live in North Hollywood, I have a very flexible schedule, and have a car!

Miranda $22 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 14years old and love kids! I volunteered in the nursery (ages 1 through 4) at my church all four years of high school. In addition, while in college I nannied for two years. I have continued to babysit post graduation as much as I can! I was an early learners tutor at Kumon and taught swimming to kids ages 2 and up. So in addition to Babysitting, I’m well equipped to help with homework and provide swimming lessons!

looking to sit on some kitties for some scratch ;) I’m well experienced with cats, no experience with children so please do not try to hire me to look after your offspring. Only cats. No dogs, nothing against them, just don’t know where to begin taking care of a domesticated wolf. Cats are fine by me. Open to birds as well

Perfect service as usual.

Kayla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sivan, and I'm a recent Hunter College graduate. I have 14 nieces and nephews so I have been caring for children ever since I was young. I worked as a daycare substitute from 2[removed] and as a lifeguard in the summers, and nannied 2021-22. From 2022-2023 I worked full time at a day school before returning to college full-time. I graduate in the spring and am looking for part-time nannying that may potentially become full-time post graduation. Most of my experience is with newborns to age 4, but I have cared for children ages 6-11 in the past. I don't mind light housekeeping, pet care, and cooking, and am able to do school drop-off and pickup. I believe in honesty and communication with both parents and children.

Katherine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kate! I am a first-year Masters in Social Work student at NYU living in Brooklyn. I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2021 with a degree in Cognitive Studies and African-American and Diaspora Studies. I’m just getting started on Urban Sitter, so I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve worked with in the past. I have 11 years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages, genders, and personality styles. I have experience with kids with Downs Syndrome, autism, and other special needs. This has included children with aggression and other severe behavioral problems, and I am confident in my abilities to meet these patterns with patience and compassion. I love kids and empowering them to practice autonomy while also being someone they can depend on. I’m looking for part-time babysitting opportunities during weekday evenings and weekends! I’m looking forward to meeting you!

"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!"
