Janeen $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve always had a passion for working with children. I’ve worked as a teachers assistant at a pre k school in Hoboken, where I gained experience helping little ones learn, grow and have fun! While I enjoy working in the school I discovered that being a nanny allows me to connect closely with children and families while enjoying the flexibility to give the child more personalized care and attention. As a nanny I bring patients and a warm nurturing approach . I love engaging kids in fun activities, coloring, reading and explore the outdoors. I have children of my own, ages, 26,16,and 10 They mean EVERYTHING to me. I will always treat your kids as if they were my own .

Booked by 1 family in Newark, NJ

I have had the opportunity to care for children ranging in age from approximately 8 months to 7 years old. I have always distinguished myself as a very active individual—constantly establishing routines and fostering good habits to make the parents' job easier. I am currently learning English—a language I already understand—and with my previous employers,even though their native language was French, we maintained excellent communication. With the last child I cared for, I was with him from the age of 6 months until he was two and a half years old, at which point he started school. I taught him to crawl quickly, to speak, to identify sounds, and to walk; I personally prepared all his meals, from soft foods to solid foods; and I effortlessly instilled in him a love for vegetables and taught him to let us know when he needed to use the potty.It is clearly an example of a very young child who speaks, understands, and likes three languages: Spanish, English, and French.

Kylie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kylie — a West Village local with a heart for caregiving and a long history helping raise three godchildren here in NYC. After running my own successful marketing consultancy for over two decades, I’ve decided to start scaling down to spend more time doing what brings me the most joy: supporting children and families. While I may be older than some sitters (I’m 54), I bring a calm, mature presence, along with plenty of energy, patience, and humor. I'm deeply familiar with life in the city, from parks and playgrounds to navigating school schedules and routines. I love reading with kids, helping with creative projects, and just being a supportive, steady adult in their lives. I’m available for part-time help (5–10 hours a week) and happy to assist with regular care, fill-ins, date nights or preschool pick-ups and afternoon activities. I understand the trust you place in a caregiver — and would love to be a trusted person for your family.

Vita $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Newark, NJ

I’ve been babysitting for the past 12 years and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I worked as a certified lifeguard for 2 years and also gained early childhood experience working at a daycare during high school. Throughout high school and college, I was a full-time nanny for 7 years, building long-term relationships with families and helping support child development through play, routine, and educational activities. Since moving to New York City in 2021, I’ve continued babysitting and am now looking for more part-time opportunities. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids. I bring a calm, confident energy and always prioritize safety and fun.

"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)."
