Laura $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a 26-year-old caregiver with 4+ years of babysitting experience, and I currently work at a daycare/preschool in Tudor City, Manhattan. I enjoy supporting families and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children to grow and learn in. I’m happy to help with household chores, meal prep, and keeping things running smoothly at home. My goal is always to build a positive relationship with both the children and parents so everyone feels comfortable, supported, and happy.

I have a dog that I take care of and I’ve been around them my whole life. I’d say I’m pretty good with pets but I’m most comfortable around dogs. I’m pretty active so I try to go on runs with my dog daily and try to fit in as much playtime I can in an hour.

Raccia Skye 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Nice to meet you! I’m a 26-year-old with a wealth of experience in childcare and informal education. I have worked as a sitter/nanny for several families with school-aged kids (mostly 4-15) over the past 10 years, including children with disabilities. I am a former sleepaway camp counselor, lifeguard, and swim instructor. I have also tutored elementary students in English while abroad and worked as a teaching assistant in my local synagogue throughout high school, though I am not a particularly religious person. Some of my interests include arts and crafts, the outdoors, board games, reading and writing, cooking, and baking. I am also a cat owner and grew up with dogs so I am more than happy to help out with pets! My affect has been described as warm, wise, and practical, and I pride myself on my strong ability to place myself in another person’s shoes, as well as being a very responsible problem solver who is quick on their feet. I have also worked in food service, which can attest to my ability to work with a positive attitude even in fast-paced, high-stress situations, though caring for your child/ren will likely be much less stressful than working in a New York City restaurant! I would love the opportunity to talk and meet your family to see if we would be a good fit for one another’s needs and preferences.

Raccia is a detail-oriented, thoughtful, careful, and punctual sitter. They have solid communication skills and if anything in my directives aren't clear, they ask thoughtful clarifying questions. Raccia offers their ideas and input when needed or requested. They are great with follow-through and have been extremely consistent and reliable. Both of my kids really like and appreciate Raccia. I do as well. :)

Booked by 1 family in Tenafly, NJ

Hello, my name is Camila and I live in NYC , I can provide a resume and references, I am a responsible, caring, and very creative person. I have had the opportunity to care for four beautiful children from 3 different families, which has allowed me to gain hands-on experience working with different ages and personalities. I have artistic training from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, which really helps me connect with children through play, music, imagination, and creative activities. I love reading stories, doing arts and crafts, singing and or acting with them, and creating a fun but always safe environment. I am fluent in both Spanish and English, so I can support bilingual families or help children practice a second language in a natural way. I am patient, organized, and very attentive to children’s safety and well-being. It’s very important to me that they feel comfortable, heard, and happy while they are under my care.

We highly recommend Camilla!. She cared for our daughter and quickly built a wonderful connection with her. From the very beginning, she was warm, engaging, patient, and genuinely attentive to our daughter’s needs and personality. Our daughter looked forward to spending time with her, and it was clear that Cami made her feel safe, happy, and supported. She consistently came prepared with activities, kept our daughter engaged, and showed excellent judgment and reliability. Beyond being dependable and professional, what stood out most was the authentic bond she formed with our daughter. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our child was in such caring and capable hands. We are grateful for the time she spent with our family and would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing, trustworthy, and exceptional nanny.

Griselda $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi — my name is Griselda, and I'm offering child care in NYC. I love being a caregiver and have been watching over newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids for 24 years. My responsibilities have included daily routines, playtime, meals, and speaking Spanish together so kids can build their language skills." I bring warmth, patience, and energy to everything I do, and I'm always attentive to the children in my care. I deeply understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone's child — every family's trust means everything to me, and I care for each child's well being as if they were my own grandchildren. I am available to work weekends and evenings, and travel with the family when needed. Spanish is my native language, and I'm also fluent in English.

"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)."
