Hello! I’m bilingual (English/ Spanish) and nannied for 3 years, throughout college. I have also babysat children of all ages for >10 years. I love arts and crafts, cooking, and being outdoors. I can help with light household chores if needed. When I’m not babysitting, you can find me at my day job, volunteering at my community garden, or hanging out with friends. My rates are negotiable and depend on the level of care / responsibility needed. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have!

Maia $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maia, and I’m a 25-year-old NYU graduate with a heartfelt commitment to nurturing fun, meaningful learning experiences for children in NYC. For the past two years, I’ve worked as a Public Programs Educator at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, where I engage school-age children through hands-on, creative, and educational activities. I lead arts and crafts projects, early engineering activities, and movement and music exercises, always encouraging children to explore their creativity, curiosity, and confidence. This experience allows me to adapt to each child’s learning needs and interests in a playful, structured way. I’m warm, patient, energetic, and dependable, and I love finding creative ways to make everyday moments exciting—whether that means doing a craft project, heading outside for an adventure, helping with homework, or simply enjoying a favorite game together. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for their children, and I strive to be someone families can truly rely on. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and make your children feel happy, safe, and supported!

Mara 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Rego Park, NY

Hi families! I’m a 30-year-old, reliable, energetic, and experienced sitter transitioning from a corporate career back to grad school for clinical psychology. I have been caring semi-regularly for children since I was 12 years old. I grew up with four siblings—two of whom are 12 years younger than me—and I played an active role in helping raise them. That hands-on experience continued through college and my corporate working life here in NYC with dozens of families (new to UrbanSitter, previously used HelloSitter). It has also recently come full circle as I’ve supported my siblings with their own babies, helping with everything from the sensitive postpartum newborn stage to chasing active toddlers. After several years in the corporate tech world, I’ve left to pursue my master’s degree. This schedule change allows me to return to what I genuinely love: hanging out with kids. I bring the “adult” reliability of a former professional (punctual, communicative, safety-conscious) mixed with the warmth and energy of a seasoned aunt/uncle. I am comfortable with all ages, confident with bedtime routines, and happy to help with homework or light meal prep. Looking forward to meeting your family! Note: I built the majority of my career in journalism, and I love tutoring if any kids need help with their homework or college essays!

“Mara is so wonderful. Very responsive, capable, warm, communicative… and my kids immediately liked her. ”
