Sydney New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! A little about me, my passion for working with kids started early. All through high school, I coached cheerleading for 70 girls ages 7–14. In college, I nannied and tutored for a family of eight children ranging from ages 7–18, which taught me patience, organization, and creativity in keeping kids engaged. I’m also a proud aunt to two little boys (a 3-month-old and a 2-year-old), so I know firsthand the joy and energy that come with caring for little ones at different stages. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals—dogs and cats—and even studied to earn my vet tech license in high school, which gave me valuable skills in responsibility and care. Spending time with kids is something I genuinely love. With my mom being a 3rd-grade teacher, I’ve grown up in an environment centered around children, learning, and nurturing. From coaching and tutoring to family care, I’ve always found joy in creating safe, fun, and supportive spaces for kids to thrive.

Meaghan New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Quinn (Meaghan is my legal name which you have to use to register). I'm a native New Yorker with over 10 years of experience working with children. I live in Brooklyn with my dog, Bagel. I've spent the last 2 years as a substitute teacher at 3 different schools & as an occasional babysitter. Previously, I worked as a Kindergarten teacher at Grace Church before ultimately deciding that, though I love working with kids, I did not want to pursue teaching as a career. I also spent 3 yrs at St. Luke's where I developed and taught my own afterschool classes. In my experience babysitting, I've worked for families with 1-3 kids, ages 1-13. I have extensive experience working with kids with learning disabilities/differences (autism, dyslexia, ADHD) as well as a range of different emotional/behavioral needs. Ideally looking for at least 20hrs/wk. I can guarantee a year's commitment, and likely would be able to stay on longer.

Jemima Brooklyn
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Jemima, a Human Biology student at Hunter College with plans to become a nurse and pediatric speech-language pathologist. Some fun facts about myself are that I am a self-taught guitarist, enjoy reading, and love working with children. Caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating a safe, fun, and enjoyable environment where kids can learn/ grow and feel comfortable. I have experience caring for children, from toddlers through middle school ages through summer camp programs, assisting in a kindergarten classroom, volunteering at Vacation Bible School at my church, daycare, and babysitting my younger cousin. I'm happy to help with homework as I love to learn, prepare crafts, games, and meals in addition to bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged while parents are away. I am an incredibly creative person and love to help with any household tasks. I am CPR/AED certified for both infants/children and adults, and safety is always my top priority. Families can count on me to be patient, dependable, responsible, and attentive to each child's individual needs. These experiences working with kids have strengthened my passion for not only supporting children's growth and well-being but also wanting to pursue a career working with the pediatric population as I know I can make a difference. I'm happy to commute throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, and I'd love the opportunity to support 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)."
