Jenna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience working with kids in summer camps and also worked in an elementary school for more than a year: I also come from a family with many siblings, so I’m comfortable caring for and interacting with children of different ages. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure kids feel comfortable and safe while in my care. I enjoy keeping them entertained with games, activities, movies, or whatever they enjoy, while also respecting each family’s routines and rules. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and happy to help make things a little easier for parents. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Leah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leah, and I'm a 24-year-old Brooklyn-based caregiver currently preparing to start law school. I'm seeking part-time childcare work over the summer and would love to support a family during this time. I bring over six years of childcare experience, including working as an overnight camp counselor, supporting children with special needs, and providing tutoring across various subjects. These roles have helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills, as well as the ability to adapt to each child's unique personality and needs. My schedule is very flexible throughout the summer, and I'm happy to work with families to find a routine that fits best. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children I care for and creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. I look forward to chatting with you and seeing if I would be a great fit for your family's needs!

Booked by 1 family in South Ozone Park, NY

Hello! My name is Natalie and I am here to offer my services for child care, dog care, and household chores. I am newer to the Urban Sitter community, but I have 10+ experience with babysitting, as well as children's camp counseling. As an actor/writer, I bring a lot of heart, creativity, and patience to the care I provide. I am looking for part-time work, including pick ups & drop offs from school/activities, cooking/cleaning, date night babysitting, and playtime. I love kids, and I am looking forward to building trusting relationships with the families I provide care for. Additionally, I have been a dog owner for almost 15 years, so I am here for any pet-related needs as well, as I am organized, cleanly, and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I look forward to meeting you!
