Jonah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jonah and I'm a 20 year old NYU student from Miami, FL. I am studying finance at NYU Stern with a focus on the entertainment industry. I grew up with a sister who was six years younger than me, and often took care of her while my parents were busy. I've been to summer camp from ages 7-14, was a counselor-in-training at 15, then a counselor at 16. Having been both a camper and a counselor, I know what it is like to be the kid and the adult in caretaking scenarios. I've been lifeguard certified and CPR-Pro certified, having lifeguarded at the camp I mentioned. I'm a great cook, asian cuisines being my favorite to make. I'm happy to help kids with their homework, or give tutoring sessions, especially in writing or math. I play guitar, and would gladly offer practice lessons for kids who are starting to play. I have a pet dog who I love very much, and would be so excited to care for other pets. I am eager to meet your children and help them find fun activities to enjoy their summer vacations!

Wen $30 per hour for 1 child

⸻ Hi, my name is Wendolyn and I’m a responsible, caring, and enthusiastic babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have 20 years of experience caring for kids of various ages—from infants to 7 years old and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment.

I’m also trained in basic first aid and CPR and First Aid I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and give your children a positive and enjoyable experience while you’re away. ⸻

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.

"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)."
