Alex $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Alex! I'm a passionate, empathetic, and creative student. I've worked with my family and those in my neighborhood, along with working with younger children through school mentor programs. One thing you should know about me is that I always put one hundred percent into anything I do. When I do something, I don't like to do the minimum. In childcare, along with everything else, I bring my best self and effort to the table. I am always determined to make a good impression and go above and beyond in every aspect. I care deeply, and my passion drives me to always put my best foot forward. Whatever you are looking for, I will always come to a job the same way I approach all my other passions: with care, drive, and a commitment to excellence. My skills include meal prep and cooking for children, helping with homework or schoolwork, and providing quality activities and entertainment, including play, crafts, story time, and more.

Clarisa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clarisa and I am a reliable, caring, and experienced babysitter based in the NYC area. I currently work part time and am available for date nights, weekends, and occasional babysitting. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, especially school age kids. Most recently, I spent the past 3 years in a consistent role caring for children, which has strengthened my ability to create structure, build trust, and keep kids engaged in a positive way. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in being more than just a babysitter. I aim to be a positive role model and someone kids feel safe, supported, and comfortable around. Whether it is helping with routines, homework, or just making sure they are having a fun and relaxed evening, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a calm, positive energy into every home. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am very comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I am happy to help with light tidying related to the children and keeping things organized during my time there. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident when leaving their children with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am dependable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s needs and routines. I value the level of care I provide and look forward to connecting with families who are looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely invested in their children’s well being.

I’m patient, organized, attentive, and always focused on creating a fun and safe environment. I’m currently based in NYC and have a full-time role starting in October, so I’m looking to support a family in the meantime.

"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)."
