Kia 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kia! I’m a 27-year-old sitter with over a decade of experience caring for kids, pets, and homes and truly love what I do. Whether I’m building forts with little ones, cuddling with your pets, or making sure your home stays just the way you left it- I bring care, calm, and a personal touch to every job. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a former lifeguard, and am available to teach swim lessons so you can count on me to keep things safe while still having fun. I’ve also worked in corporate finance, which taught me how to be dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of people’s time and space. I’ve been a pet owner myself, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m the kind of sitter who sends updates, leaves things better than I found them, and treats every child or pet like they’re part of my own circle. When I’m not working, I’m usually outside staying active, reading a good book, baking a sweet treat, or hanging out with friends. If you're looking for someone warm, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with- I’d love to connect!

“Kia is thoughtful, responsible and incredibly patient. As a former teacher, I am so impressed to see how attentive and genuinely caring she is with children of all ages. I’ve seen firsthand how naturally she connects with kids and you can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with them as well. Kia is always on time and makes sure to put the children’s and parents needs first.”

Augusta $25 per hour for 1 child

I grew up with a paintbrush in one hand and a bug jar in the other, and that's pretty much still true. As a recent Sarah Lawrence graduate steeped in art and culture, I'd love to share that curiosity with kids — turning a rainy afternoon into an art studio on the kitchen table, or a walk to the corner store into a scavenger hunt through history and nature. I believe kids learn best outside, hands dirty, following whatever's caught their attention — a beetle on the sidewalk, a cloud shaped like a dragon, the story behind a statue in the park. I've babysat for family and friends for years, bringing genuine curiosity rather than a checklist of activities. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so safety's never an afterthought, but I leave room for spontaneity — fort-building, bedtime, and everything between. I show up present and invested, because the best part of this work is watching a kid's face when they've made or discovered something new.

Hello NYC Families! I’m a graduating nursing student currently looking for work as I prepare for my licensing exam. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter in Brooklyn for the past five years, and have over ten years of experience working in childcare and youth services. Before diving into nursing, I earned my first bachelor’s degree in sociology and dance, which gives me a unique, interdisciplinary perspective that I love to bring into my work. I’m passionate about education, dance, and play, and I’m excited about the possibility of connecting with your family! A little about me: - I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, where I spent most of my free time dancing or exploring the outdoors. - I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from 18 months to 18 years, including those with a wide range of abilities and behaviors. - I’ve created and led hands-on learning programs in everything from outdoor education and arts & crafts to cooking and dance/movement. - I spent three summers touring with Circus Smirkus, where I supported a troupe of 30 teen performers—an experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of creative expression. - I have a valid driver’s license and have driven to all my babysitting jobs around the city. - I’m CPR/BLS certified and trained in first aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m not working, you’ll find me dancing, biking, rock climbing, enjoying ocean sports, or making handmade cards for friends and family. I’d love to share my passions and experiences with your family, and I’d be honored to help out in any way I can. I truly believe in building open, honest relationships with families and kids, and I’m always eager to learn about each child’s unique personality and interests. Looking forward to connecting!

Booked by 1 family in Brooklyn, NY

As one of 7 children and a certified special needs caregiver in Washington State, I have a lifetime of experience for your child no matter their level of needs. I’m a 21 year old NYU writing student who loves to play and explore the imaginations of the children I care for. I’ve had experience with ages newborn-13 years old and have been nannying for 9 years, taking care of the home, taking children to and from school/daycare/extracurriculars, preparing meals, and handling bedtime. You can count on me to go on new adventures, start exciting creative projects, and go all in during playtime with your child. I love to get to know and be comfortable with the entire family so that your child can feel at peace with me in your home. Hope to meet you and your family soon <3

Trent $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! My name is Trent, and I’ve always had a heart for caring for others, whether it’s children, seniors, or anyone who needs support. I studied Drama and Education at New York University, where I developed a deep understanding of child/adolescent development, learning styles, diversity, and inclusion. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified for all ages. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I grew up with a younger brother with Down Syndrome, Autism, and Type 1 diabetes, and I have been a caregiver to him my whole life. I have also worked at a special needs kids' gym, which has given me a lot of experience in watching children of all abilities. What I love most about caregiving is the chance to make someone’s day a little easier, brighter, and more joyful. Building trust with families and forming real connections with the people I care for is what keeps me inspired every day. When I’m not caregiving, you’ll usually find me outdoors, reading a new book, or working on a creative project. I’m reliable, compassionate, and always ready to help. I’d love the opportunity to support your family—thank you for considering me!

"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)."
