Zoe $25 per hour for 1 child

I've been babysitting for over 10 years, starting at age eleven when I began helping care for my newborn sister. As I got older, I started watching her friends too, building relationships with several families and learning a lot about kids along the way. Over the years, I've also spent three summers working as a full-time nanny, including over 3 years of hands-on experience specifically caring for infants and toddlers. I graduated from Tufts last spring with an interest in pediatric health, and I'm currently taking time to do what I love: caring for children, while I explore that path further. I love using play and creativity to nurture a child's imagination, but I also know that no two kids are the same. Some children thrive with structure and consistent routines, while others do best with more flexibility and spontaneity. I take the time to understand each child individually and adapt my approach to what works best for them and what parents are looking for. Beyond childcare, I'm also an experienced pet sitter and comfortable cooking for kids and families alike, from simple toddler meals to full family dinners. I'm happy to help with light housework too, including organizing, laundry, dishes, and general tidying, so the household runs smoothly alongside childcare. I'm reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I care about building genuine trust with the families I work with. I'd love the opportunity to bring that same care and dependability to your family.

Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophie, and I am a compassionate, creative, and highly organized caregiver with a strong background in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a focus in Film Production from The Pennsylvania State University, where I honed my skills in clear communication, problem-solving, and multitasking, abilities that translate seamlessly into providing attentive, high-quality care for children. Currently, I work as an Assistant Teacher for two-year-olds at The Learning Experience, where I support lead teachers in delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that foster early learning and social-emotional growth. Working with toddlers has deepened my understanding of this critical stage of development, from language acquisition to building routines and encouraging independence. I take great joy in guiding little ones through their daily discoveries, using patience, positivity, and creative play to create a warm and structured environment. Prior to this role, I served as an Au Pair, where I provided dedicated care for two children (ages 6 and 8). In this position, I managed daily schedules, planned engaging outings and activities, and fostered a safe, supportive environment that encouraged cooperation and positive social development. I also communicated regularly with parents to ensure their goals and expectations were consistently met. My experience as a Substitute Teacher in the Manheim Township School District further deepened my understanding of child development across grade levels. Working with students from kindergarten through 12th grade, I adapted lesson plans on the spot, managed diverse classroom dynamics, and built instant rapport with students and staff alike. Earlier, as a Day Care Teacher at U-Gro Day Care, I designed and implemented age-appropriate lesson plans, used positive reinforcement to guide behavior, and adapted my teaching to meet the unique needs of every child. I am also CPR-certified and have all required child care clearances, ensuring that your family's safety and peace of mind are always my top priorities. Beyond my professional credentials, I bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for helping children learn and grow. Whether it's organizing fun and educational outings, assisting with homework, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I am committed to supporting each child's emotional and developmental well-being.

Gabrielle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gabby. I’m 28 - born and raised in NYC. I’ve had a huge passion for childcare since being a teen. Most recently I babysat for 2 gorgeous twins - 1 boy and 1 girl from their ages 5-7, until they moved away in 2024. I built a strong bond with them almost instantly that only got stronger over the 2 years. Since then, I've been doing occasional gigs here and there, but I hope to find more steady work. I’ve had several other jobs related to child care as well as pet care. I’m naturally a very nurturing person, so babysitting especially is something I gravitate towards. It’s also in my blood as I come from a line of teachers! My grandmother was a teacher in her day and my mother is an assistant teacher at an amazing nursery school! Everyday she comes home from work excited to show me new pictures of her babies at school - so sweet. Aside from childcare, I also have a background in art from my father’s side. As much as I love children, I'm currently finishing up a degree in Interior Design at Parsons (all asynchronous classes, so it would not interfere with my schedule). My favorite thing in the world is being able to combine my two passions – childcare and art! I love teaching kids art and introducing them to new medias, even getting technical and teaching perspective such as drawing 3D objects! During my last job with the twins, I introduced them to felting which was very fun. It was so rewarding to see their colorful creations! Overall I’m looking forward to going back to childcare. I know having a connection with a child is not something you can force, so if you think I might be a good match for your child/children, please do not hesitate to contact me! I am also able to look after any animals if needed, I am a huge animal lover and have looked after everything from dogs, to even chickens! Any chores you need done around the house can also get taken care of (permitting there's enough time in the day). Thank 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."

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)."
