Jordan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents and caregivers! I'm Jordan, a NYC–based caregiver with a passion for childcare! I'm a recent UC Berkeley alum who has spent countless hours through education-centered coursework and hands on experience investing in the bright minds of tomorrow! My experience includes working with children in both formal household settings, as well as in educational environments (through tutoring and volunteering at school events). I bring a thoughtful, attentive approach to caregiving that prioritizes safety, creativity, and emotional awareness. Beyond childcare, I have experience assisting with pet care and household tasks, and I’m happy to support busy families with errands or light upkeep as needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s values and routines. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained off-screens, helping them learn or simply making sure they feel safe and heard, I aim to create a calm, positive environment parents can trust!

Hi there! I’m Ashley, a Montessori-trained preschool and kindergarten teacher! 🍎 I love babysitting and have 10+ years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children allowing me to cater for each personality and need! As a Montessori educator I bring a patient, attentive approach that focuses on providing a safe, joyful environment! Whether it’s maintaining calm routines such as meals, naps/bedtime, and homework or going on adventures, playing it the park, or getting crafty my goal is to support and enrich! ☀️ Pet care, light house keeping, and household assistance are available!

“I've worked with Ashley and would definitely recommend her. She's dependable, communicative, and works well with children of all ages. She’s patient, kind, and hardworking, and she does a great job building positive relationships with both children and families. She also has a strong background in Montessori education and is a great resource for parents. Any family would be lucky to have her as a caregiver.”

Sabira $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I'm Sabira, your go-to babysitter! Growing up in a bustling house with lots of nieces and nephews aged 6 months to 18 years old has been the best training ground for my passion in childcare. I started my babysitting journey at 17 and I have accumulated experience through various paid babysitting jobs. I can adapt to the unique needs of children from different age groups. Whether it's assisting with homework, playdates, or arts and crafts, l'm here to make every moment memorable. In addition, I have a sister with special needs, so l am well-versed in providing the extra care and attention that special needs children often require. Certified in first aid and CPR, I prioritize safety while ensuring punctuality and fun! Whether it's school pickups, mealtime, or playing, your child's happiness and well-being are always my top priorities. Feel free to reach out—I'm just a message away.

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”
