Hunter $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! NYC/JC preferred, unless transportation is provided (or walkable from train) as I do not drive. I have experience - just over 2 years now! - as an afterschool teaching assistant for elementary school in NYC, grades K-5. It’s something I absolutely love, as chaotic as it can be! We go through snack time, many different kinds of classes, and free choice time, so I am very adaptable and can work through transitions and different activities. I also have 2+ years experience dog and cat sitting - in case there’s any beloved pets in the house that need cuddles, food, or walks! I have no problem staying late for bedtime, cooking, doing laundry, transport, or any cleanup (and, as long as they’re old enough, I’d be happy to involve your kiddo and help develop those skills themselves too)! I have been teaching cooking classes in our program as well, if that’s also a skill you’d like to begin at home. I’m in NJ now, but am perfectly good commuting in as I usually do, since I grew up in the city and currently work there! It would be a pleasure to continue where I love everything about the city and make some new little friends along the way!

Hello! My name is Katherine and I am looking for a wonderful family to work with as a reliable, caring, and trustworthy nanny.I love working with children and helping them learn, grow, and thrive in a safe environment. I understand that leaving your children with someone requires complete trust, which is why I prioritize safety, clear communication, and punctuality above all else.

Sara 3 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sara, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your children. I’m originally from Colombia but have been living in the U.S. for several years now. I speak perfect English and graduated here with a degree in Interior Design. While my background is creative, I’ve always had a strong connection with children and a passion for helping them grow, learn, and feel safe. I offer childcare services for kids ages 1y and up, including school pick-up/drop-off, healthy meal prep, homework help, and fun, hands-on activities tailored to their age and interests. Experience with age groups: I’ve cared for kids from 3 to 12 years old. My experience started in a preschool setting in Colombia, and since then I’ve worked closely with children of various ages—understanding their different needs and how to support them emotionally, socially, and mentally. Activities I enjoy with children: I love involving kids in creative activities like painting, drawing, and crafts—thanks to my design background. I also enjoy reading, cooking healthy meals, dancing, and playing educational games that are both fun and enriching. Special skills: • Homework help • Cooking nutritious meals • Creative learning through art and play • Fluent in English and Spanish Certifications and training: I have hands-on experience from working in a school environment in Colombia. I’m currently planning to complete CPR and first-aid certification here in the U.S. to provide even better care.

“Sara takes care of my dog Brussels. Brussels is an Aussie Labradoodle. He is my service dog and Sara has helped me complete his training and achieve his certification as my service dog. I trust her with him and she has full access to my house at all times. Sara has taken care of Brussels for over three years and she helps me with all his needs, including vet visits, grooming, and food restrictions. She has been an angel in our lives and we are blessed to have her help us. Thank you Sara for everything you do for us!!!”

"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."

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)."
