Ash $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a reliable, attentive caregiver with several years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m also a mother, which has strengthened my patience, organization, and ability to manage routines, transitions, and emotional needs with care and consistency. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication while creating a warm, engaging environment for children. I’m comfortable with daily routines such as meals, naps, school drop-off/pick-up, homework support, playtime, and household tasks related to the children and the entire family if needed. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and respectful of family boundaries and parenting styles. Families appreciate my professionalism, punctuality, and ability to adapt quickly while keeping children happy, safe, and supported. I’m seeking a consistent role with a family who values trust, reliability, and open communication.

I love children and I am a mother to a lovely baby boy. I bring tonnes of empathy, love into my job and engage with kids by encouraging their development.

Mary Ellis $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 23-year-old recent NYU grad school graduate, originally from Alabama and a proud SMU alum. I just completed my Masters in Accounting and am pursuing a CPA license. I’m outgoing, friendly, and dependable, with a strong work ethic and a natural ability to connect with kids. I’ve been babysitting throughout my life and have experience with children of all ages! I love staying active and engaged— whether that’s going on walks, playing tennis, or doing Pilates—and I bring that same energy when caring for kids. I’m patient, organized, attentive, and always focused on creating a fun and safe environment. I’m currently based in NYC and have a full-time role starting in October, so I’m looking to support a family in the meantime. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to help both in and outside the home.

Yasmine 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Yasmin! I have over 10 years of professional babysitting experience, along with a strong background in caring for my own younger siblings, cousins, and nephew. I first started helping with childcare within my family, and by my mid-teens I was already working regularly as a babysitter for other families. Since then, I’ve cared for children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids and I’m comfortable managing everything from bottle-feeding and nap routines to homework help and after-school activities. I’m confident in creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for kids. I love engaging children with games, crafts, reading, and learning activities that keep them happy and curious. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and trustworthy, and I pride myself on being punctual and communicative. Whether you’re looking for ongoing childcare or occasional help, you can count on me to provide reliable support and genuine care for your little ones.

Yasmin is absolutely incredible! She’s responsible, reliable, and so caring. Kids instantly feel comfortable with her, and parents can relax knowing everything is under control. She’s attentive, patient, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy and safe. I couldn’t recommend her more highly any family would be lucky to have her!

indielacia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Indielacia, but you can call me Indie! I recently moved back home after living in Ithaca, New York, where I attended Ithaca College studying Public Health and Childhood Education. While in Ithaca, I worked at a local daycare and gained almost 3 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14 and have experience with children of different ages, including toddlers, older children, and twins. I’m comfortable with school drop-offs and pick-ups, nap time, bedtime, meals, diapering, potty training, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I love playing, dancing, coloring, doing creative activities, and going to parks or museums with children. I’m patient, caring, energetic, responsible, and dependable, and I always try to make children feel safe and comfortable. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and other pets. I’m CPR-certified and excited to get to know new families and provide caring, one-on-one support!

"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)."
