Deisha $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Deisha, and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I am a dependable and caring caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children, a role I genuinely love and am passionate about. I have experience working with children of all ages, including children on the autism spectrum, and I am patient, understanding, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I am highly creative and enjoy planning engaging, hands-on activities such as arts and crafts, learning games, and imaginative play, and I believe a little laughter and creativity go a long way in helping children feel comfortable and confident. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment while assisting with daily routines, meals, homework, and activities, with the goal of fostering a warm and nurturing space where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Joan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Joan, an 18-year-old with experience caring for children of all ages. I am also a current college student at New York University. My experience mainly comes from babysitting my neighbor's kids! I bring creativity, patience, and a warm personality to every family I work with, making sure your little ones are engaged and safe. Whether it’s organizing fun activities, helping with homework, or preparing meals, I’m here to provide reliable and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I understand how important it is to create a trustworthy and positive environment for your children. I also love to cook and play the piano and would love to come cook healthy meals for you and your family. (Side note: huge animal lover :)) I mainly hope to find a family that I can be a long-term and reliable source of help for as I find that I do best in an environment where I feel close and comfortable with the family but I can also do well on a short notice! Let me help make your life a little easier!

Taylor $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Taylor, a childcare worker and musician/actor here in NYC, offering infant/childcare and pet care! My first experiences taking care of children date back to when I was 14, babysitting the neighborhood children for work experience. Since then, I’ve spent countless summers as a summer camp counselor. When I moved to New York I spent time as a part-time birthday party entertainer for children of all ages, worked as a Toddler’s Assistant in private schools, and continue to nanny full time as well as substitute teach for all ages of children! I am a NY licensed driver with a clean record, able to transport your kiddos to and from school + all sorts of different activities. I love to incorporate music into childcare routines with lots of songs and encouraging words. (I also offer guitar lessons for elementary children and older). I’m a good cook and love to care for pets as well (dogs, cats, anything!)

Charlotte $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Charlotte, and I'm an 18-year-old babysitter based in Weehawken, NJ. I hold CPR and Babysitting Certifications from the American Red Cross and have six years of hands-on experience with children of all ages — from newborns and toddlers to preteens up to age 11. I bring more than just childcare to the table. I'm happy to help with light cooking, cleaning, and keeping the home tidy while you're away. With nine years of martial arts training, I'm calm under pressure and fully capable of keeping every child in my care safe and protected. I love keeping kids active and engaged — whether that means a trip to the park, a fun activity, or just making the most of an afternoon at home. Whatever the day calls for, I show up ready. I'm a licensed driver, available all summer on weekdays and weekends, and open to relocating wherever I'm needed. I'd love to be a dependable, positive sitter for your family! (I attend Highschool from 8am-3pm till June 18th)

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
