Pamela $28 per hour for 1 child

Babysitter Available – CPR Certified ✨ “Caring for children as if they were my own.” ✨ Hello! My name is Pamela, and I’m here to support all the wonderful moms and families who need an extra helping hand with their little ones. I truly love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is well cared for. I treat every child with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m Hispanic, and my native language is Spanish — so if you’d like your child to learn a few Spanish words, I’d be happy to include that during our time together! I have a basic level of English, but that doesn’t stop me from communicating clearly, kindly, and making your child feel safe and happy. I’m CPR certified and have experience working in a daycare, caring for children of different ages. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and provide the care and support your little one deserves. ❤️

Addison $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Architecture at Columbia University. I babysat regularly from elementary through middle school for families in my Texas hometown, caring for kids of all ages, and continued to occasionally babysit during college. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I'm great at keeping children engaged with creative activities (drawing, building, crafts; some of the perks of being a designer!), helping with homework, and sticking to whatever routines or rules parents set. I'm comfortable handling meals, bedtime, bath time, and the everyday chaos that comes with kids. I'm also happy to help tidy up so you come home to a calm house. Beyond babysitting, I'm responsible, communicative, and easy to reach. I'll always send updates if you'd like them, and I take safety seriously. I'm a non-smoker and get around the city easily by subway, so I can come to you anywhere in NYC. I'd love to meet your family!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in River Edge, NJ

About the review on my profile the guy offered the same job to me and my sister so we assumed it was a scam hence I didn’t go. My name is Lerato. I am 27 years old. I am from South Africa, I have just finished my aupair program (I stayed with one family for 2 years. I loved the kids and they loved me too) and looking for a babysitting job. I am a kind and a very patient person you can always trust me with your kids. I cared for 2 kids in my 2 years of being an aupair. My youngest host kid was 4 months when I got here so I have experience with infants. I am currently working for another family 2 days a week.

Booked by 1 family in River Edge, NJ

Hi! I’m Silvana — a caring and reliable babysitter with experience working with children from 2 months to 8 years old. I worked at Little Angels Daycare caring for infants as young as 2 months old, and also worked in the infant and toddler rooms at Bright Horizons. I study psychology in college and love creating fun, engaging, and safe environments for kids through music, movement, games, sensory play, and simple sign language. I also have a dance background and love hip hop, jazz, Afro dance, and salsa, so I naturally bring a lot of positive energy and creativity when working with children. I’m currently looking to grow my caregiver experience more closely with one family long term and would love the opportunity to support yours

"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)."
