$25 per hour for 1 child

I have always been passionate about working with children and find true joy in helping them grow and develop. Whether it's through educational activities, providing care, or simply being a positive role model, I am deeply committed to making a meaningful impact on their lives. I believe in fostering an environment where children feel supported and encouraged, and I look forward to pursuing any opportunity that allows me to do what makes me happiest—helping children reach their full potential. I worked as an Early Childhood Educator for around 2 years, providing care and educational support to infants and toddlers. My responsibilities included teaching foundational skills such as colors, ABCs, numbers, and songs through engaging and interactive activities. I ensured a safe and nurturing environment where the children felt secure and comfortable. Additionally, I assisted with feeding, diapering, and maintaining daily routines, while promoting healthy sleep habits by supporting naptime routines. I developed age-appropriate lesson plans to foster developmental milestones and encouraged social, cognitive, and motor skills. My focus was always on creating a positive, trusting relationship with each child, helping them feel safe, cared for, and ready to learn. I am also an active member of a sorority at my college, where I contribute to both the community and my personal development. Alongside my involvement, I maintain a strong academic record, consistently earning Honor Roll status throughout my education. My dedication to balancing my academic responsibilities with extracurricular commitments showcases my strong work ethic, time management, and ability to thrive in dynamic environments.

Hi! I'm a college student looking for part-time babysitting opportunities. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I have experience in a child development setting where I planned lesson plans and activities for children, so I enjoy finding fun and engaging ways to keep kids entertained while helping them learn. I’m comfortable with pets, have reliable transportation, and can help with after-school care, activities, meals, and creating a safe environment for children. I’m looking for flexible babysitting jobs and would love the opportunity to help your family.

Booked by 2 families in Oceanport, NJ

Hello Parents! *Available for weekend and occasional care in the 2025-26 school year.* My name is Laurel. I really enjoy being a nanny and babysitting. I am very engaging with children and we have tons of fun together. This past year I have been a nanny for an adorable three year old girl in Park Slope. I will be continuing with them in the fall. I will have availability for weekend and occasional care during the upcoming 2025-26 school year. I have experience with a range of ages from toddlers to preteens. I’ve got a great sense of humor and can be playful. I truly enjoy reading stories to kids. My current favorites are the Frog and Toad books. I can help your older child with homework too. I’m very patient, kind, creative and reliable. I have experience with neurodivergent kids, including ADHD and those on the autism spectrum. As a native New Yorker I’m familiar with the public parks, playgrounds, libraries and kid friendly museums. I’m comfortable taking kids on the bus or subway. I’m LGBTQIA+ friendly, CPR/First Aid Certified and Youth Mental Health First Aid trained. I’m a non smoker and Covid vaccinated and boosted. I recently had a MMR booster as well. I’m comfortable around pets and enjoy their company. Reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family. I’d be happy to talk with you on a video call about your childcare needs.

Laurel has been a transformative presence in our children's lives. She began nannying for our family when our now-three y/o entered preschool at two years, nine-months. Laurel has been an outstanding caregiver, helping to guide our three-year-old through significant developmental steps, including but not limited to school day routines (drop-off and pick-up), getting dressed by oneself, potty-training, consistent napping, and the range of big feelings common to preschool-aged children. Laurel is steady, calm, and direct with the children; she affirms their individual agency while setting clear boundaries and expectations for safe and caring behavior. She helps them work towards goals at their own pace and enables their self-sufficiency while also providing lots of thoughtful support. Our other child is eleven years old and Laurel offers age-appropriate space to foster independence in this older sibling. She is creative in the games that she plays with both children and always gets our younger one into the park for some outdoor exploration, rain or shine. In our dealings, she is punctual, unflaggingly reliable, and professional. We cannot recommend Laurel enough!

Hi families my name is Naima!! I’ve been a babysitter/nanny for the last 10 years!I’m energetic fun caring loving and easy going!! I speak Swahili and some French too! Im comfortable around pets and love dogs and cats! I also do housekeeping,help with homework,bedtime routine,arrange play dates,pick and drop off kids to school or after school activities and I can cook light meals. Babysitting and being a nanny Is second nature to me,for me it’s more of the experience with the kids,having tools to educate them protect them,care for them nurture them and put them on the right path❤️,it’s certainly not just a job!( to me)

I’m pleased to recommend Nanyuma as a babysitter. She has consistently shown reliability, professionalism, and genuine care in every interaction. She has solid experience with children of various ages and adapts easily to their different personalities and routines. She communicates clearly, follows instructions, and always shows up on time — which has made her someone I can depend on without hesitation. Tasks such as supervising playtime, preparing small meals, supporting bedtime routines, and maintaining safety are handled confidently and responsibly. What truly stands out is her calm, patient, and kind approach. Children feel comfortable with her, and she engages them in a positive, respectful way. I never have to worry when they are with her — she creates a safe, supportive environment and keeps them meaningfully occupied. I highly recommend Nanyuma to any family who needs a trustworthy and caring babysitter. She is reliable, responsible, and consistently meets expectations with maturity and care.

"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)."
