Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Grace, an NYU graduate student and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I love spending time with kids and helping them have fun while they feel safe and cared for. I've worked with children in schools, museums, and community programs, and I enjoy getting outside, reading together, making art, or simply following their curiosity. I'm calm, dependable, CPR/First Aid certified, and happy to help with light housekeeping or pets. I'm hoping to find a family I can get to know over time and become someone your child is excited to see.

Grace is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and caring people I know. She is especially wonderful with children. She has a natural ability to make kids feel comfortable, understood, and engaged, while still being responsible and attentive. She is patient, creative, calm under pressure, and someone parents can trust completely. I would recommend Grace without hesitation. Any family would be lucky to have her caring for their children.

Laura 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Laura, and I’m a bilingual Argentinian artist based in NYC. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, starting when I was 18 years old caring for young children, and for the past 8 years in New York I have worked with families as both a babysitter and full-time nanny. My experience includes caring for children from 2 months old through 13 years old. I also worked as a full-time nanny for 2 years caring for two toddlers, helping manage daily routines including meals, naps, playtime, outdoor activities, bedtime routines, and developmental support. As an artist, I love incorporating creativity into childcare through arts and crafts, imaginative play, storytelling, and engaging hands-on activities. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can feel comfortable and supported. I also have experience with pet care and am very comfortable in homes with dogs, cats, and am open to pet sitting opportunities. I’m open to babysitting, nannying, recurring care, date nights, school pickups, and family support. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!

We've been lucky to know Lau since my daughter was just two months old, and she's been a trusted sitter for our family over the past seven years. Over that time, she's become part of our family's village, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She is kind, creative, fun, and genuinely loves being with kids. She she gets down on their level, plays, creates, and treats them with respect. My daughter and her friends adore her, listen to her, and she has a calm, effortless way of building trust while still providing structure. Lau is reliable, trustworthy and a great soul to be around. Any family would be lucky to have her.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in East Elmhurst, NY

I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and households, and I truly enjoy helping families run smoothly. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens — which has taught me patience, creativity, and flexibility. I babysat regularly for a 1-year-old and 6-year-old for four years, as well as for another family with a baby under one and a 4-year-old for two years. I also cared for a 3-, 5-, and 7-year-old for two years, and during high school, I was a daily after-school sitter and driver for an 8- and 10-year-old. In addition to childcare, I’ve dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college and have experience house-sitting, running errands, and providing general household support. I’m responsible, reliable, and organized, but also warm and easygoing — someone kids feel comfortable and safe with. I love creating a positive, fun environment while keeping things structured and running smoothly for parents. I also love animals.

Trinity $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! - My name is Trinity, and I am an actor/ performer here in New York, coming from a background of musical theatre and comedy with a touch of writing on the side. I have a heavy performance background in a variety of arts such as singing, dancing, and acting. I've been a student of the craft for the majority of my school and business life. I love performing, and I love the flexibility that comes with being an actor. I’ve spent lots of time around kids in childcare settings and also in teaching settings. As a side hobby, I also teach dance classes for adults and children. I love teaching dance classes and getting to work with people of all ages! I’m also a huge animal lover and have 2 beautiful cats of my own! Whether it’s kids, cats, or adults, I find it most important to meet you where you’re at so we can really work together.

"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)."
