Booked by 1 family in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! My name is Izzy and I’ve worked as a sitter for over 10 years. I also have worked with kids in general, both boys and girls. I am an actor but always have been good with children. I‘ve babysat for quite a few families in Brooklyn over the years. Still close with a good chunk of them. I’m responsible, creative and easygoing. I love helping out other people. I’d love to chat if you think it’d be a good fit. Hope to talk soon!

Libbie $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Libbie. I'm a full-time Jewish educator at a fantastic synagogue in the heart of Park Slope, and I'm looking for some part time summer work! As a teacher, I always say that my main goal is teaching joy. I want every child who enters my classroom to know that they belong, they are inherently worthy, that they are wanted. It's my favorite thing to see that knowledge light up a little one's smile. That philosophy carries through easily to all children under my care. Before becoming a teacher, I was a tutor and a nanny, so I'm used to the rhythms of home as well as the classroom! The most important thing to me is to make sure your kids are safe and happy. I'm also extremely musical! I'm in the process of applying to graduate school to become a cantor - I sing and play piano, flute, and guitar, and I love enchanting little ones with music! Happy to provide voice lessons as well upon request. I hope to meet you and your family soon, and provide excellent, engaging, joyous care for your little ones. All my best!

Mickael $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello to all! I am a rising Junior at Columbia University studying philosophy looking to babysit. I have worked babysitting jobs before back home in DC for parents of my school. Throughout those experiences, I've always appreciated the connection I was able to form with the kids as I watched them progress and grow. I have also worked as a soccer coach for refugee children through a program offered at my high school. Through this experience I was able to better understand how to lead groups of kids for physical activity while also making sure they are just having fun. Furthermore, I come from an international background and can speak three languages (English, French, and German) and really enjoy imparting some linguistic knowledge on the kids who are willing to learn. In doing this job, it is my goal to be someone the kid can laugh with, learn with, and play games with as I take the weight of having children off your shoulders for hours at a time.

Jane $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Jane! I’m 19 and go to Bryn Mawr College in PA. I live in park slope and am interested in occasional jobs anywhere in the city when I am home from school. My experience taking care of children is extensive. I have a younger brother as well as four younger cousins who I’ve babysat since I was 12. Additionally, I was an avid babysitter for families at my K-12 school in Manhattan. I had weekly jobs with four families, children ages 4-13, providing general care and fun, facilitating homework, preparing meals, and getting the kids to bed on time. I have also worked as a camp counselor in Massachusetts, South Dakota, and Chile, which has allowed me to connect with many different children with different backgrounds, expanding my ability to be a good caretaker. I am offering child care as well as household services. I can cook, navigate the city well with children, and do other tasks as needed. Happy to work with families with cats or dogs! Please reach out for more information :)

Celia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Celia I’m originally from California and moved to New York two years ago to pursue a career in modeling. Along the way, I discovered that working with families through babysitting and nannying is something I genuinely enjoy—it’s the perfect balance with my schedule and something that brings me a lot of joy. I’m responsible, patient, and easygoing, with a real love for kids and helping out where needed. Whether it’s keeping your home safe while you’re away or making sure your little ones are happy, cared for, and entertained, I always show up with a calm, positive attitude. I have experience caring for children ages 3 to 7, including school pickups, cooking, helping with homework, and spending quality time together. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to lend a hand with light household tasks. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can help make your days a little easier!

"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)."
