Maegen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My names Maegen and I'm a 39 year old stay at home mom. I have 3 kids myself from the ages of 9 to almost 13. I love being a stay at home mom and I feel like its my true calling to be a caretaker. Being a parent and raising my kids has been the most fulfilling thing for me thus far. Now that i dont have little babies anymore, id love to branch out and help other families. I know firsthand how hard it is to find good, reliable child care. My youngest son is autistic so I therefore also have experience with special needs kiddos.

Hello, my name is Jashira! A little about me: I just graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Law, Technology, and Culture. Babysitting has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I started by caring for my own family members as a child and have since grown into a trusted caregiver. For the past three years, I’ve had the pleasure of babysitting through platforms like UrbanSitter, SitterCity, NannyLane, and Care.com. During this time, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for children of all ages—from infants and toddlers to teenagers. I’ve always had positive experiences with the families I’ve worked with, and I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children I care for. Babysitting brings me so much joy because it allows me to step away from the stresses of everyday life and embrace the energy, curiosity, and laughter that children bring to the world. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing kids be carefree, happy, and playful—and knowing I’ve contributed to their smiles is the best feeling. I am happy to provide babysitting services in New York. However, please note that I do require reimbursement for any tolls and parking expenses. Additionally, bookings must be for a minimum of 5 hours, and payment will be due in full, even if you return earlier than planned. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family and help create a safe, fun, and loving environment for your little ones!

Hello! I’m Mi’Angel (Pronounced My angel, but you can call me Mya if it’s easier!) And i’m currently a senior in college at Rutgers university. I’m honored to have the opportunity to babysit for your family! I’m very kind, energetic, and I love to learn. I have strong time management skills and I have lots of experience working with children. Including babysitting my 8 nephews ranging from age 0-6, and working at a summer camp when I was 13-14. I’m also extremely patient and have experience with children with special needs. I also love animals! So pets are not a problem for me. I also have a very reliable car so transportation isn’t a problem either. I’m excited to work with you and make things easier for your family while you’re away and busy. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Miangel was incredible! She looked after my 21 month old son and was so sweet. Will definitely be booking her again

Booked by 4 families in Cookstown, NJ

Hi! I’m Kayla, a registered nurse with over 10 years of childcare experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I also have a background as an EMT and currently serve as a medical technician in the Air National Guard, so safety, patience, and staying calm in unexpected situations are very important to me. I genuinely enjoy working with children and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m comfortable with infants, toddlers, multiple children, bedtime routines, meal preparation, diapering, playtime, homework help, and providing a safe and engaging environment while parents are away. I’m CPR/BLS certified and also comfortable caring for children who may need a little extra patience or support. I strive to be someone parents can feel completely comfortable leaving their children with—reliable, attentive, caring, and communicative. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Dependable, attentive, and great with my son. Easy to communicate with and professional. I am glad I had found a trustworthy caregiver on such short notice!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
