Jullia $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m Jullia, 23 years old. I provide intentional, high-level childcare focused on structure, emotional intelligence, and developmental support. I am calm, discreet, and exceptionally reliable. I create organized routines that promote independence, confidence, and security while maintaining a warm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced managing full daily schedules, school coordination, enrichment activities, and maintaining a peaceful, well-structured home environment. I value professionalism, clear communication, and mutual respect. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your parenting style, offering consistent, thoughtful care tailored to your family’s standards. I’m also a strong driver, pet friendly, fully vaccinated and I have +5000 hours experience with kids! My main skills include preparing meals (my favorite hobby is cooking, and I would be very happy to cook for the child and for the family if needed), changing diapers, preparing bottles, and entertaining children without the use of screens. I am also passionate about mathematics and sciences and would be happy to teach or help children who need tutoring. I am fluent in English and Portuguese and have an intermediate level of Spanish. If your family would like, I can speak with the children in any of these languages and help them learn as well.

Booked by 1 family in Hackensack, NJ

Hello! Sarai at your service! I’m a CCNY Fall 2020 Alumni with a BA Business Administration. While I chose this degree, I’ve developed a true passion for education. For the past two years, I’ve been employed full time at a school (staff role) and use up much of my free time to book gigs during weekends or weekdays (afternoon/evening times). I think of myself as a super fun, loving & energetic babysitter, but also, reliable, responsible & compassionate. As a perk: If you would like for me to teach your child a bit of Spanish, kindly let me know. I would be more than happy to do so. Be it a special occasion or just a night away from the kids, I'll make sure to take great care of them! Feel free to ask any questions if any. Happy to answer them all.

Saraai was excellent. Our son really enjoyed spending time with her. We would book her again.

Leah $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leah, and I am 18 years old. I have been working since I was 14, graduated high school early at 17, and went directly into trade school, where I am currently working toward becoming a licensed esthetician and skin therapist. Most recently, I worked as a Teen Reading Ambassador with the New York Public Library, helping children with reading, writing, math homework, games, arts and crafts, and other activities. I have also worked with children with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and different learning styles. One of my strongest qualities is my patience. I do not become easily frustrated, and I understand that children sometimes need extra time, a different explanation, or simply someone who will listen to them. I enjoy making kids feel comfortable, taking their ideas seriously, and keeping them safe while making sure they are having a good time. I am happy to follow any routines, household rules, meal instructions, or schedules a parent provides. I also have younger siblings and have helped my hardworking mom at home when I was younger, so I understand how much of a difference it makes to have someone who can help with meals, homework, cleaning, and keeping things organized. I know how to cook a variety of meals, and I am very comfortable cleaning, doing laundry, tidying up, and organizing spaces. Cleaning is something I have always been good at, and I take pride in doing it thoroughly. I am also interested in senior care because I enjoy talking, listening to people’s stories, and helping others feel comfortable and less alone. I would be patient and respectful while providing companionship, preparing meals, helping around the home, and following any routines or instructions the family has. I am naturally friendly, talkative, energetic, and caring, but I also know when to be calm and focused. A fun fact about me is that I started and captained my high school cheer team. Whether I am helping with childcare, senior companionship, or household tasks, my goal is to be someone a family can depend on and feel comfortable welcoming into their home.

"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)."
