Hello! My name is Zoe, and love working with kids!My first experience working with kids, was when I went to Nepal in my junior year of high school. There, I taught students photography with my fellow classmates, while also rebuilding their school after an earthquake had hit it. I have also tutored a 1st grader in Phonics, when I was in my senior year of high school. I am looking for a steady job doing something that I love. The joy I have when I am helping and taking care of kids is unmatched. I have my CPR/AED and First Aid Infant/Child/Adult Certification. I have nannied for a few families over the years, and would be happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to hearing from you. -Zoe

Hi all, I’m Kayla — I’m currently studying to become a grade school teacher, and working with kids is truly my passion. I lead my church’s daycare and have experience with a wide range of ages, personalities, and group sizes. I absolutely love how creative, curious, and different every child is! I’m very routine-oriented and understand how important structure and consistency are for kids to feel secure and thrive. Whether it’s homework help, playtime, crafts, meal prep, or bedtime routines, I aim to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel supported and excited. I’m patient, calm, dependable, and big on communication with parents. My goal is always to make your life easier while making sure your little ones are happy and cared for!

I’ve known Kayla and her family for many years through our church, and she has always been such a blessing to our family. My children, Adrian and Elizabeth, absolutely loved their after-school time with her, Sunday classes, and just spending time together in general. She has a natural way with kids that makes them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Kayla has always been flexible and reliable — whether it was late nights, early pick-ups, or even helping care for the kids when they weren’t feeling well. We truly trust and love Kayla to this day. 10,000/10 — I would recommend her to any family without hesitation.

I’m an experienced sitter based in the NYC, known for being calm, dependable, and great with evening and bedtime routines. I’ve worked with children of all ages and am especially comfortable with date nights, after-school care, homework help, and settling kids down for the night. Parents often tell me they appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and low-stress presence. Happy to help with light tidying related to the kids, reading, quiet play, and maintaining routines while you’re out. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have excellent references. Available evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute requests.

Hi - My name is Nyrohah and I'm currently a junior at NJCU. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 17 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and sports skills like soccer, basketball. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am happy to work with families with dogs too

Nyrohah was an excellent caregiver. My children love her and would like to see her again soon. She is very professional with her job and is an exceptional individual. I would definitely hire her because she is very responsible and generous.

"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)."
