Victoria $28 per hour for 1 child

My name is Tori, and I have worked with children in many different capacities for 15 years. I started coaching gymnastics when I was in highschool and have never quit teaching or caring for children since then. I began as a gymnastics and dance teacher and then started babysitting regularly while dancing professionally. I then became a teacher at a tutoring center that assisted neurodivergent children with school activities and development, I worked my way up to lead teacher and worked closely with a mentor to expand my knowledge in childhood development and teaching critical reading skills. When I moved to New York I became a part time nanny and began teaching gymnastics and dance again, in private studios. I also taught in afterschool programming for dance and gymnastics and theater. While in New York I have been the director's assistant for a children's music company, I have taught, and I have most recently been a full-time nanny. I am compassionate, able to adjust to different setting quickly, and my experience enables me to work with many different children and families. I love to create a warm, creative, and safe environment for children to thrive in! I have experience with children from 2 months to 17 years of age.

Ariana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ariana, but many know me as Ari. I’m 24 years old and have over six years of experience working with children ranging from 8-week-old infants to Pre-K students aged 4½. I’ve been a lead teacher for the past five years and am currently working as a Pre-K teacher. As I begin my journey into law school, I’m looking for a stable position that allows me to continue nurturing young minds while maintaining the focus needed for my studies. I am passionate about early childhood development and believe in creating supportive, engaging environments where children can thrive. In addition to my teaching career, I’m also a dance instructor for children ages 2 to 12. I’m often described as confident, organized, punctual, and a strong team player. I take pride in my ability to help others and find creative solutions to challenges in the classroom. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Education and am certified in CPR and First Aid.

Valentina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Valentina. I’m a 22-year-old college student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where I study Advertising and Marketing Communications. I currently live in NYC and am looking for babysitting opportunities with families in the area. I have experience working with children as a babysitter and former camp counselor, caring for kids ages 3–10. I also taught Spanish to elementary school students (grades 1–5) as part of my high school Spanish Language and Global Citizen program, where I created and led engaging, interactive lesson plans in a classroom setting. I really enjoy working with children and bringing a balance of structure, creativity, and fun into their day. I’m comfortable helping with homework, light cooking, errands, and general household support. Outside of childcare, I’m a very active and creative person. I’m a former soccer player and love outdoor activities, sports, and staying active with kids. I also enjoy creative activities like art, painting, film, theatre, and storytelling. I’m open to working with children of different personalities and energy levels, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged.

Carl $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm a 42 year old local from Seattle WA. I'm very considerate, patient and engaging with children and enjoy being around them. Although I don't have nanny experience, I would love the opportunity to demonstrate myself as a positive, and responsible nanny and or housekeeper. I completed some college and am planning to return to school for construction management and early childhood education. I love playing with kids and being responsible for them, caring for them, and providing supervision. I don't have kids but would like them someday. I'm a safe driver, great cook and love supporting families with fun, and safe childcare supervision.

"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)."
