Hi! My name is Clara, and I’m 22 years old. I recently graduated from the University of Texas with a Journalism degree, and am relocating to NYC in September. I have several years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including three years as a nanny for a family with three children and long-term occasional care for another child from age 1 to 9.

Mayara $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mayara, and I have over four years of experience in childcare. I spent two years as an au pair, where I had the pleasure of caring for four children between the ages of 3 and 13. My experience spans a wide range of ages, from newborns to teenagers, and I am particularly experienced with twins. I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children to grow and develop. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, preparing meals, or just offering a helping hand, I always ensure that the children I care for feel loved and well-cared for. In addition to my childcare experience, I am bilingual in Portuguese and English, which allows me to connect with families from diverse backgrounds. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to the individual needs of each child. If you're looking for someone who is experienced, compassionate, and dedicated to providing the best care for your children, I'd love to connect with you!

Anna $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna — I’m 23, originally from Ireland, and currently based in New York. I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages and I genuinely love creating a calm, fun, and safe environment for them. I’m very hands-on and enjoy planning age-appropriate activities like arts & crafts, drawing, puzzles, board games, reading, and outdoor play. I’m responsible, punctual, and very comfortable following routines, bedtime schedules, and house rules. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Management, and through my work experience I’ve developed strong communication skills, reliability, and a high level of professionalism — all things I bring into childcare as well. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as warm, trustworthy, and attentive. I’m happy to help with light tidying related to the kids, meal prep, homework support, or pet care if needed. I’m currently available for occasional, part-time, or full-time roles and would love to connect with a family looking for someone dependable and kind.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Leonia, NJ

I am punctual, hard working, and communicative! I have worked with kids as a party princess and a babysitter. I just got off a cruise ship contract where I worked with the elderly. I have also pet & house sit for animals and spaces of all kinds!

Sophia was wonderful! She arrived on time and she brought some activities for the kids. I loved the way she engaged with them. It’s obvious she has cared for children before and that she genuinely enjoys being with them. She’s also bright and articulate. A super good role model.

"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)."
