Montelius $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Montelius and I’m from Silver City, New Mexico. I have a strong passion for working with children. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 17, including babysitting children ages 5–15, house sitting, and looking after family pets—including, at times, farm animals. Now at 21, I bring several years of hands-on experience and a deep commitment to creating a safe, engaging environment for every child I work with. In addition, I have three years of experience directing children’s theater, where I’ve worked with over 25 kids in drama camps and theater productions. This experience has helped me develop a unique ability to connect with children of all personalities—whether they’re shy, outgoing, or sometimes a bit challenging. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely interested in helping each child feel seen, heard, and supported. I love encouraging creativity, imagination, and self-expression. Music is a big part of my life, and I enjoy sharing that with kids in fun and engaging ways. I strive to create an environment where children feel excited to learn, play, and truly be themselves. I’m also happy to help with daily routines, tutoring, cooking healthy meals, cleaning, and safely walking or accompanying children wherever they need to go—whether that’s by foot, bus, or subway. Working with kids isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I take pride in providing a calm, positive presence while making sure children feel happy, supported, and inspired.

Booked by 1 family in East Elmhurst, NY

Hello! My name is Jasmine, and I’m currently a Psychology student. Although I’m a college student, I have a flexible schedule and can frequently accommodate families needs. I love working with children and supporting their growth in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience caring for children ranging from newborns to 5 years old. Growing up in a large family, I was always surrounded by babies and young children, which helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a genuine love for childcare. I also enjoy creating engaging activities that encourage learning, development, and play. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m a big animal lover and comfortable caring for pets. I have both a dog and a cat and have over 8 years of experience helping care for animals. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, dependable, and always strive to create a positive experience for both children and parents.

Booked by 2 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi my name is Marisol G. Ii was currently working for a family of two wonderful children a 9 year old girl and 10 year old boy. I worked for the Gomaz family since the youngest was one year old I have taken care of them as if they where my own. I'm a mother of five wonderful children 19 - 28 I'm very out going playful and fun. I also taught Montessori teaching to 5 - 7 year old children. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have 20 years experience and references from families I have worked for. Thank you for considering an interview.

Marisol cared for my two children for approximately a decade. She cared for them as if they were her own children- giving them love, support, structure, entertainment, and education as appropriate. Early on working 12+ hours a day and as the kids got older closer working less. She was always flexible throughout the years as my children’s needs changed. From caring for infants to supporting the development of pre-teens she was like family. Anyone would be lucky to have Marisol care for your children. She has also raised 5 of the most amazing children which is a testament to her parenting skills.

Gabrielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Gabrielle but I prefer being called Gabby. and I’m currently a 3rd year at Guttman Community College. I am looking forward to working with children in child care. I love babysitting because it rewards fun ways to spend time with children and build a positive relationship and see them learn and grow. I also enjoy experiencing the world through a child’s curiosity that allows me to interact and socialize who they are. My experience in babysitting are meal/snacks preparation, assisting homework and activities, diaper changing/bathing, ensuring a safe environment for children and definitely communicating with their parent/guardian about the child’s progress how they are doing. I have worked in childcare for about 3+ years at a afterschool program for quite some time when was about 14-15 years old since 2018 is when I first started working with children in different schools but outside of that I have taken care of my 6 siblings throughout my childhood. I am willing to work with families who have pets!

"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)."
