Carter 3 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Maspeth, NY

"Hello, parents! I'm your go-to babysitter with over 5 years of experience, bringing warmth and enthusiasm to every childcare moment. Not only do I have a knack for keeping little ones entertained, but I also bring educational value through my tutoring expertise. Your child's safety, happiness, and growth are my top priorities. Let's create lasting memories together, one playful adventure at a time!"

“Carter was fantastic, on time, very polite with a great personality. We ended up staying out later than expected and she had no issue staying late. She seemed to be able to get our girl to bed with less trouble than we’ve had lately. We highly recommend Carter as a babysitter ”

Ana 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Ana, and I’m a warm, caring, and dependable childcare provider based in NYC! I have 4 years of experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I genuinely love spending time with kids and being part of their everyday routines. :) I’ve completed a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, and I’m also CPR & First Aid certified, Infant Qualified (IQ), and have completed childcare training courses. I love keeping kids happy and engaged through play, arts & crafts, playgrounds, libraries, museums, the zoo, and playdates! I believe children learn so much through exploring, having fun, and trying new things. I’m patient, organized, and reliable, and I’m happy to help with children’s meals, laundry, play areas, and other related tasks. Most importantly, I want every child to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve worked with upon request. I’m excited to meet your family! ☺️

“Consistent, caring, trustworthy - Ana worked with my son for 5 months. She showed up on time always with a smile. My son loved her. She’d take him to the zoo, aquarium, picnics in the park, etc. as well as cook nice meals for him. You’re lucky to have her”

Booked by 1 family in Maspeth, NY

I have a close relationship with the children in my family and have been involved in caretaking for my younger cousins since my years early in high school (14-15 years old). I've also been responsible for caretaking for my neighbor's dog regularly during the day from 9-7/8 PM and am very comfortable with dogs generally.

Laura $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Laura, a 35-year-old bilingual (Spanish/English) caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children ages 4 to 13. I hold a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and I’m both CPR and First Aid certified. With a strong background in child development and classroom structure, I create safe, engaging, and age-appropriate experiences — whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative play, or supporting routines like bedtime or mealtime. I'm patient, responsible, and truly enjoy supporting each child’s unique personality and learning style. I’m available Monday through Friday, mornings to evenings, and also some weekends as needed. I’d be happy to provide references and talk more about how I can support your family. Looking forward to connecting!
