Sierra $21 per hour for 1 child

I have over 8 years of childcare experience across a variety of settings, including nannying, coaching, and working in children’s programming. Most recently, I worked as a Kids Club Attendant at the Four Seasons Orlando, where I design and lead engaging activities and games in a high-energy, luxury environment. I also spent three years working in retail at Walt Disney World, where I focused on creating memorable, engaging experiences for families and children. This strengthened my ability to connect quickly with kids and bring energy and positivity into every interaction. In addition, I have extensive coaching experience with both the Savannah Sharks and Upper Merion Allstars, where I led practices and taught tumbling classes. I also coached a cheer team for children with differing abilities, which was one of the most meaningful parts of my experience. It taught me how to adapt to individual needs, build confidence, and create an inclusive, supportive environment for every child.

Hi! I am a 26 year old Psychology graduate and have worked with kids since 2015. I love working with kids and playing with them while being vigilant and making sure they’re safe. I am bubbly and energetic which helps keep up with the kids energy as well as household chores. I have worked with kids with special needs as well as kids at a camp and in a day care which gives me a versatile amount of experience with varying ages of kids.

Sofia $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sofia, I'm 24 years old and I've been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I absolutely love children and animals, and can't wait to have children of my own some day. I graduated from Scripps College during Spring 2023. The families I have babysat for in the past describe me as kind, loving, responsible, communicative, and encouraging. I grew up abroad and babysat for an American family twice a week in high school, ages 6 and 10; I babysat a family friend's 4 year old over the summer when I was 17 years old; and most recently, I was a regular babysitter for a family in California as a college student, ages 5 and 8. I am half Japanese/half Russian and feel very comfortable in multicultural familial environments. I like to connect with children as my equal, while maintaining a responsible and trusting relationship. I also have grown up around animals and have experience pet/house sitting. I love to cook for myself and would be happy to cook nutritious and delicious meals for your children! I am happy to meet your family's needs, whether this involves children, animals, or cleaning duties/errands. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Cameron $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello there!   My name is Cameron and I am offering babysitting services in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I am new to Urban Sitter, but not new to babysitting! I have experience with children ages two through twelve. I was also an overnight chaperone for the Kennedy Center Dance Lab in 2023. I also have experience in dance education. I have taught a range of students from ages 5-18. Teaching has given me so much knowledge about how to tend to children of different natures, temperaments, and personalities! I graduated from Howard University with a B.F.A in Dance Arts, and currently work for a dance company called Urban Bush Women. I will keep your little ones active, entertained, and creative in spirit! Additionally, I am CPR certified and the eldest of five siblings. Feel free to reach out with any questions or inquiries!
