Beatrice $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Beatrice and I am a recent high school graduate with a passion for childcare! I started off as a mother's helper at 12 years old and have been babysitting ever since! I have watched children, toddlers, and infants ranging from ages 6months to 11 years. I plan to study child development/early education in the future and hope to use nannying as an opportunity to gain more experience prior to then. I enjoy playing at the park, doing arts and crafts as well as cooking/baking. As a former dancer I love being creative and silly, making up dances and being active! I love animals and have 2 cats and a dog of my own, so any care needed for them I would be comfortable handling that as well. I am from Brooklyn born and raised and helping local families is something that I truly value!

Pearl $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Pearl, new to UrbanSitter I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and genuinely love spending time with kids! I’m a patient, caring, and energetic caregiver who enjoys making kids feel comfortable while keeping them engaged and having fun. I love baking and cooking with kids, helping with homework, doing arts and crafts, and simply spending quality time together. I’m especially great with elementary-aged children and love helping them learn (elementary math is my specialty—algebra is another story 😂). I also practice yoga and enjoy staying active, so I’d love to keep athletic kids moving, whether that’s stretching before or after practice, going outside, or doing fun activities together. I’m responsible, attentive, and always want kids to feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Booked by 2 families in Kearny, NJ

My name is Marie and I live in New York City. I am an experienced and dependable childcare provider with over 4 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have a Master’s degree in Public Health, which has strengthened my understanding of child development, health, and wellbeing. I previously worked as a daycare assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and supporting young children. My responsibilities included changing diapers, feeding, preparing and washing bottles, helping with nap time, leading circle time, reading books, organizing age-appropriate activities, assisting with schoolwork, preparing snacks, and safely accompanying children to and from school. I truly enjoy working with children and being part of their growth and development. I love creating a safe and encouraging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I am focused, patient, versatile, caring, and dependable. Outside of childcare, I love going to museums, music concerts and reading books. I also speak French and English.

“Marie has been very helpful and reliable for us in taking care of a lot of chores around the house regularly!”

"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."

"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)."
