Haley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Haley. I am going into my junior year of college at Fordham University. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I have loved being a babysitter since I was in 6th grade, watching children aged 7mon-12yrs. My responsibilities have ranged from taking kids to and from activities, making meals, cleaning, school help, etc. I am also very good with pets and am a huge animal lover. I grew up with a dog and two cats and absolutely love to take care of them! Additionally, I am fully available to complete any household services such as running errands and cleaning.

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.

Booked by 1 family in Kearny, NJ

Hello! My name is Itionna. I joined UrbanSitter because I understand how challenging it can be to find reliable care—whether for a child, senior, or pet. I’m here to offer a helping hand to fellow parents or caregivers in need of extra support. I have my own car and offer open, flexible availability. I bring extensive experience working with children with special needs, including ASD, ADHD, speech delays, and developmental delays. I’m also a proud mom to an amazing 6-year-old boy whom I homeschool. In our free time, we enjoy trips to Target, neighborhood walks, visits to the park, and outings to the zoo and aquarium. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your family! ☺️

"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)."
