Macy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Macy, and I am a 21-year-old student entering my senior year at Pace University in New York City, where I study Marketing and Communications. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, I have been babysitting and nannying for over five years and have always loved working with children. Growing up, I was the go-to babysitter in my neighborhood and worked closely with two families for over three and a half years as a part-time nanny. In addition, I have cared for many other families on an as-needed basis for date nights, work events, weekends, and school breaks. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants just a few months old to pre-teens. Working with children comes naturally to me. My mom is a kindergarten teacher and was also a nanny when she was my age, and I have always shared her passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. Beyond nannying, I have worked as a swim instructor for young children and am CPR certified. I also grew up around dogs and have experienced dog walking and sitting so am very comfortable with pet care! I am happy to assist with homework and tutoring, meal preparation, light housekeeping, organization, transportation, and swim instruction. I am also completely fluent in Spanish, having spoken the language since I was five years old. Families describe me as dependable, patient, energetic, and caring. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. I would love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones!

Caroline $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello I’m Caroline I’m 20 and located in Midtown. I’m currently in College at Baruch and have 4 years of babysitting experience. I have worked with children from 6months-12 years old. I run an at home bakery so love doing fun baking and cooking activities with kids and am also able to prepare meals for the children and family. When babysitting I like to make sure the kids spend time outside so either taking them to the park or on a walk is a favorite of mine. I can help with homework and am particularly good with English and History. I also speak German so I am able to help children learn German or work with a German speaking family. I am also very open to pet sitting or working with family’s with pets, I’ve worked at a horse stable so have experience with all types of animals and have taken care of both dogs and cats in the past.

Liz $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Liz, and I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. I’m 24 years old and originally from Virginia! I’ve been house sitting and pet sitting since I was 12 years old and have consistently been trusted with extended stays ranging from 1 to 6 weeks while families were away. I have experience caring for pets, maintaining homes, handling daily routines, and making sure everything stays safe, clean, and stress-free while you’re gone. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 18 and have cared for children ranging from 6 months to 10 years old. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, whether that means being an energetic play buddy, cooking dinner, helping with bedtime routines, or telling great bedtime stories! I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I truly enjoy helping families feel comfortable and supported.

"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

"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)."
