Hanna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Hanna and I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have watched children of all different age ranges starting from infants all the way through 5th grade. Some of the responsibilities I can take on are driving/walking to and from school, tutoring, cooking, cleaning, and playing games and sports! If you need errands run for you I will gladly take that on as well.

Sarah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sarah. Since 2013, when I was basically a child myself, I began child care and education at the Little Theater of Alexandria, first by helping my mother with her theater classes, most often Drama Tots, which I had taken when I was a tot. A few years later, I began to run my own 30 minute session after hers, "Musical Theater Tots," where I taught children age 3 - 6 songs and simple choreography to perform at the end of the session. This transformed into "Little Singers," in 2016, a free fall class before Christmas where I instructed middle schoolers in harmonious caroling, to be performed in the Alexandria Scottish Walk. After graduating high school, I came back every summer to run camps like Frozen song and theater, Barbie craft and play, and most fruitful, the Hogwarts camp, where me and three other teachers gave 30 elementary and middle school students an immersive experience, complete with daily classes and a mystery throughout, ending in a duel. I also have babysat as well as au paired, and worked in the winter of 2020 at 826DC as an Educational Programs Intern, facilitating after school writing-related activities and readings for students age 9-15, including a sensory walk to Colombia Heights which culminated in a book, binded in-house. Making structured play for kids throughout the years—letting a class's minds go free—has been the most fun in my life, and I couldn't think of a better job or something better I am capable of doing for the world. I love my educators, remember and appreciate every single one. I would be honored to be able to give a gift back to the next generation. I attended Bennington College, which means that everything I want to encourage in children—to dance, write, collage, laugh, think—I want to structure my life around, I want to do professionally. I'm an artist who sees teaching and collaborating as intrinsic to the art process. At Bennington, a great deal of the experience was listening to others share their work, having to have an eye of critique as well as humanity. Teaching and educating is a resonant process, a mutual exchange, as well as a delicate relationship where in knowing young people, we have power we must hold responsibly.

Sabrina $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Secaucus, NJ

Hi all, I am 28, and have been working at the New York Times for the last 3.5 years. Before that, I was working at the Bronx documentary center as a teacher, and before that at ICP as a teachers assistant. I babysat / nanny’d throughout all of my high school years. I am currently in pursuit of my MFA, which is why I am looking for a nanny-ing job. I am interested in both part time and full time. I live in Brooklyn, in Park Slope in the chiclet mansion with my boyfriend and two cats.

Caleb $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a former Reggio Emilia method Preschool Teacher and Special Needs Educator. I make sure children in my care feel safe first, then curious and then confident about the world around them. I focus on socio-emotional needs and encourage love of nature, world cultures, and mythology and well as development of age-appropriate practical skills. I love animals, games, learning and being outside.

Nusrat $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Secaucus, NJ

Hi! My name is Nusrat. I’m a native New Yorker, born and raised in Brooklyn, and currently a graduate student at NYU Langone Health, where I’m earning my master’s in Healthcare Administration. My background blends years of childcare experience with a strong passion for helping others—qualities I bring into every home I work in. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from newborns to preteens, and spent much of my high school and undergraduate years both babysitting and tutoring. These experiences taught me how to support children academically, emotionally, and creatively. I’m constantly amazed by how intuitive and insightful kids are, and I love being part of the moments when things “click” for them. As an older sister, caring for younger siblings and cousins has always been second nature to me. Families often describe me as patient, loving, and highly attentive to detail. My goal is always to create a warm, engaging, and safe environment where kids feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn and play. I’m also very comfortable with pets—I have a cat of my own and have worked in homes with dogs as well. Whether you need help with after-school routines, homework support, early morning drop-offs, creative play, or infant care, I bring reliability, compassion, and a calm, steady presence. If you’d like to see my resume or learn more about my experience, please feel free to reach out—I’d love the opportunity to support your family and be someone you can trust and depend on.

"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)."
