Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophia :) I am originally from Orange County, CA and graduated in 2022 from UCLA. I recently moved to NYC and work in finance. I work 11-7 (since my team is on the west coast) so am available for childcare any day in the mornings or evenings! I have a huge family with lots of baby cousins and have been babysitting and tutoring since I was in high school. I am extremely organized and clean and will love any activities your child wants to participate in.

Lisa 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am an upbeat, attentive,patient, athletic, creative, reliable, health/safety-conscious, affectionate, interactive, articulate, fun and highly- nurturing woman who has over 10 years experience working in childcare(ages 6 wks-11 yrs). I've also been employed as a Hatha Yoga instructor to NYC public schools' 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th graders as part of an experimental remedial reading/writing art program, as well as an actor in Children's Theatre, where I loved to make a young audience laugh & learn by becoming silly, educational characters. I genuinely enjoy engaging a child/ren in safe, fun, creative, developmentally-aimed play & learning, while, of course, attending to their hygiene & diet. Having cared for children from Harlem to the Hamptons, I feel quite fortunate to be able to earn a living by sharing the delightful, stimulating, and yes, challenging company of a child, as I create a supportive, safe, fun, creative, happy, healthy & loving environment, in which we can both happily learn & grow. Some of my experience has included working with disabled adults and with verbally-delayed & emotionally-challenged children. Resume with numerous letters of recommendation available upon request.

“We cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. She has been with our family for three years, starting when our eldest was just 6 months old and seamlessly welcoming our second son, born in 2024. She truly loves our boys like her own — and they feel it. What makes her exceptional is her total presence and genuine investment in our kids' development. She is never on her phone — always engaged, always stimulating: reading, singing, playing music, and getting them outside. She proactively recommends books, toys, and activities perfectly suited to each child's age and personality. When we moved from NYC to NJ, she chose to commute rather than leave our boys. That says everything. Any family would be lucky to have her.”

Alex $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Alex! I'm a passionate, empathetic, and creative student. I've worked with my family and those in my neighborhood, along with working with younger children through school mentor programs. One thing you should know about me is that I always put one hundred percent into anything I do. When I do something, I don't like to do the minimum. In childcare, along with everything else, I bring my best self and effort to the table. I am always determined to make a good impression and go above and beyond in every aspect. I care deeply, and my passion drives me to always put my best foot forward. Whatever you are looking for, I will always come to a job the same way I approach all my other passions: with care, drive, and a commitment to excellence. My skills include meal prep and cooking for children, helping with homework or schoolwork, and providing quality activities and entertainment, including play, crafts, story time, and more.

Denisse $32 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced bilingual (Spanish-English) caregiver with a strong background working with children from newborns to 10–11 years old. I have worked as a nanny and au pair in the U.S., and I also have experience as a swim, diving, and gymnastics instructor, as well as organizing children’s events and activities. My background in Law in Mexico has helped me develop strong organizational skills, responsibility, and professionalism. I moved to the U.S. to pursue personal and professional growth, and I take my work very seriously. I am patient, energetic, structured, and deeply caring. I enjoy creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can grow emotionally and developmentally. I am currently seeking a kind, respectful, and professional family who can guarantee consistent weekly hours, as I am looking for a stable full-time position

Chap $25 per hour for 1 child

I have over 10+ years of experience in various different forms of care! Nannying, babysitting, teaching, group leading, camp counseling, etc. my most recent childcare experience, outside of babysitting, was working for the 14th St Y Afterschool Program (teacher/group leader) and well as New Country Day Camp (Program/Support Specialist). I would love to start something with consistency and care. My childcare is very hands-on, creatively engaging, and most of all safe! I hope to start working with you and can’t wait to hear from you!

"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)."
