Anais $21 per hour for 1 child

I have worked at a summer program as a tutor/consular preparing higher schoolers for college. My experience during that time allowed me to develop skills that would be useful for babysitting, like time management and comprehension towards the Childs needs, as well as being patient. Being very attentive and alert is another important trait I have as a caregiver. I have also done dog walking and have a dog of my own which I take care of.

Jeannie $75 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jeannie and I’m a writing coach. I am a proud native New Yorker who went through the NYC school system myself and I deeply understand the transformative power of academic mentorship. My tutoring journey began in 2020, when I started helping elementary school students navigate math during the pandemic. I later worked as an academic writing specialist at Columbia University to help first-year master’s students refine their writing. My background in journalism fuels my approach to tutoring. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and build genuine connections with my students. I am highly committed to each student’s progress, customizing my teaching to fit their individual learning goals.

Jayleen $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Jayleen! I have over 8 years of experience working with infants and toddlers outside of the UrbanSitter app. I am currently working as an orthopedic medical assistant but have over a year experience of being a Behavioral Technician with kids ages 3-7 that are on the spectrum. Imagine a babysitter/nanny who’s not just about keeping an eye on the little ones, but also turning every moment into a fun adventure. That’s me! With a touch for sports, games, creative crafts, and outdoor activities. I’m here to ensure your kids have fun while under my care. I’m excited to start a journey of laughter, exploration, and endless fun! I am also comfortable completing other responsibilities like running errands, tutoring, and tidying up. Fun fact: I am a college graduate and currently in an accelerated nursing program with an aspiration to become a Pediatric Nurse. Open to interviews in person and/or online.

"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)."
