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!

Wen $30 per hour for 1 child

⸻ Hi, my name is Wendolyn and I’m a responsible, caring, and enthusiastic babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have 20 years of experience caring for kids of various ages—from infants to 7 years old and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’m reliable, patient, and creative, and I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities like games, reading, arts and crafts, and outdoor play. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, preparing light meals, and maintaining routines like nap time or bedtime. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when leaving their children in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m also trained in basic first aid and CPR and First Aid I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and give your children a positive and enjoyable experience while you’re away. ⸻

Stella $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Stella, an Upper West Side-based student studying International Relations & Economics at the University of St Andrews. I'm responsible, organized, and genuinely love spending time with kids and animals, whether that's playing, helping with homework, or just keeping things fun and running smoothly. I've been a dancer since 2016, training 3–4 hours a day, 6 days a week across 7 disciplines at the Academy at Steps on Broadway, where I was accepted into both the pre-professional program and the Youth Company. Through a mentorship program connected to my dance training, I worked directly with younger dancers, guiding them, building their confidence, and making the learning process fun. That experience of nurturing kids in a structured but encouraging environment is something I hope to bring to every family I work with. My experience as a Production Intern at Johannes Leonardo, where I managed logistics, coordinated vendors, and kept complex projects on track, shows that I'm dependable and calm under pressure. I also led my high school's Model UN club and served as a Student Senate Representative, which sharpened my communication skills and ability to connect with people of all ages. I'm also happy to help with pet care, whether that's walks, feeding, or simply keeping your furry family members company. On top of that, I'm available for household tasks like cleaning, grocery runs, and errands. I take pride in being someone families can rely on for just about anything that needs to get done. I'm punctual, caring, and genuinely committed to making life easier for the families I work with. Feel free to reach out, I'd love to meet your family!

"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)."
