Josephine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Josie, and I’m a rising senior at Fordham University. I offer child care, dog walking/pet care, and household help. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable. I have experience babysitting children in my neighborhood, and I’ve built strong relationships with the families I work with. I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy keeping kids entertained through games, crafts, reading, outdoor play, music, and movement. I also have professional experience working with young children through Ballet Petite, where I taught weekly dance camps for children ages 3–6. In this role, I managed groups of up to 7 children at a time, led dance activities, helped with transitions, encouraged participation, and made sure every child felt safe, included, and excited to learn. Because of my dance background, I love bringing creativity and movement into babysitting. I’m also happy to help with children’s routines, basic homework, snacks, simple meals, cooking for the children, light cleaning, tidying up play areas, and helping keep things organized while parents are away. I also offer dog walking and pet care. I have a Thai Ridgeback at home, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs and understand the importance of being attentive, patient, and responsible with pets. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, happy, and fun experience for your children and pets!

Jayleen $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Jayleen! I have over 8 years of experience working with infants and toddlers outside of the UrbanSitter app. I am currently working as an orthopedic medical assistant but have over a year experience of being a Behavioral Technician with kids ages 3-7 that are on the spectrum. Imagine a babysitter/nanny who’s not just about keeping an eye on the little ones, but also turning every moment into a fun adventure. That’s me! With a touch for sports, games, creative crafts, and outdoor activities. I’m here to ensure your kids have fun while under my care. I’m excited to start a journey of laughter, exploration, and endless fun! I am also comfortable completing other responsibilities like running errands, tutoring, and tidying up. Fun fact: I am a college graduate and currently in an accelerated nursing program with an aspiration to become a Pediatric Nurse. Open to interviews in person and/or online.

Liana $20 per hour for 1 child

Currently working for a daycare mainly with toddlers (2-3) but often moved to infants all the way to preschool. Looking for an easier environment (20 2y/os is definitely a lot). I’m great with understanding children’s emotions and helping with development and regulating feeling. I’ve got a lot of energy to keep up with the fun things especially going outdoors to parks, on trips and making up fun games on rainy days. I’d love to work with one child as much as I’d be glad to work with three. I can easily commute around Manhattan as I live one stop in the train from Penn which only takes me 10-15 minutes and I’m well versed with the city.

Jayleen $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Jayleen! I am offering child care services at this time. I have been a nanny for about 5 years but have been babysitting since I was 16 and have worked with children from 4 months to 10 years old. Some of my responsibilities have included, tutoring, light chores, meal prepping, bedtime, arts and crafts, school drop off and pickup and much more. I have also worked in a children's hospital and school and feel that with my experience with children, I am the right fit for any household.

"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)."
