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!

Molly 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! I'm Molly and I'm an actress and writer based in Brooklyn! I'm really passionate about working with kids; at 19, I co-founded a theatre camp for kids aged 9-14, in college I took a full-year course in teaching artistry, and this summer I've been working at a theatre camp for kids aged 3-6. I love making crafts, going to the park, and reading (some favorites include Frog and Toad and Anne of Green Gables). I can't wait to meet your family!

“Molly was an absolute lifesaver today! We reached out on very short notice to find childcare so my wife and I could celebrate her birthday with a run around Central Park, and Molly stepped in without hesitation. From the start, she was a complete pleasure to deal with—responsive, kind, and professional. She arrived right on time (actually early, to be exact) and stayed for the entire duration we needed. Most importantly, she was incredibly fun and engaging with our children; they had a wonderful time with her, which gave us total peace of mind while we were out. As a true New York expert, she knows the city inside and out. We could not recommend Molly more highly to any family in need of a dependable, warm, and fantastic babysitter in NYC. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

Hi! My name is Alyssa and I graduated last year from Cal Poly SLO. I am starting my masters program at Pepperdine this coming Fall and am hoping to find a part time nannying job.

Rachel $35 per hour for 1 child

I'll be upfront: I'm not a full-time nanny, and that might be exactly why you'd want me. During the week, I am the project design lead for a large-scale waterfront project in Lower Manhattan. The work I do Monday through Friday demands serious multi-tasking, a high degree of responsibility, and clear communication under pressure. On weekends and possibly weeknights, I'm looking to take on nannying and babysitting work to pay down student debt and help support some elderly relatives. Despite a decent salary, I am in real need of a reliable long-term side hustle for the next few years, and childcare is something I will genuinely enjoy, not just endure. About me: I am comfortable with toddlers (1-3), young kids (4-8), and older kids (9-12+). I am happy to discuss infants on a case-by-case basis. My experience with very young babies is limited, and I won't oversell that to a new parent. I am the oldest of six siblings, the youngest being 12 years younger than I am. I bring "supportive older sister" energy. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I hold a BS in Biology and a master's degree in architecture. I am well-read and comfortable tutoring up to Calculus 1, and I can be a genuinely positive academic influence for a curious or academically inclined older child. Extra points if there's any interest in architecture. I don't have formal nanny references, but I am happy to provide strong professional references, including colleagues who know me well in the context of their own children. I do not smoke, am not a heavy drinker, and do not use drugs. I have a current driver's license, an impeccable driving record, and my own (admittedly slightly junky) car. I am a strong home cook, though not a chef. Happy to put together meals. Most of all, I am kind, extroverted, and hardworking. I know how to be a supportive presence in someone's home without overstepping. I will be on board with the way you choose to raise your children. I currently live in Williamsburg and am flexible on the neighborhood. Happy to sign an NDA. I am a strong fit for a family looking for weekend support, or for one that already has a full-time nanny and needs a reliable, professional substitute on days off or additional weekend coverage. I am motivated, I show up, and I'm seeking a long-term, regular arrangement. Happy to come by for a meet-and-greet if you think I could be a good fit for your family.

Kayley $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kayley, I am a part time college student & I’ve been working with children for about five years. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. My experience includes working as an afterschool group leader, volunteer teacher, and neighborhood tutor/babysitter where I’ve worked with children of different ages, helped with homework and learning, led creative and recreational activities that supported their everyday routines and development. I’m patient, dependable, and nurturing and I love making each day a little more fun and meaningful. I have a Pediatric CPR/AED certification and am eager to continue building meaningful relationships with families and the children I care for.
