Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa, I'm 31 years old and live in Manhattan near Carnegie Hall. I'm taking a break from corporate life (I'm a business intelligence developer normally) and want to make some cash doing something I love for a little bit while I figure out my next move. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old for neighbors and friends and have continued babysitting ever since. I was a camp counselor for a few years for 3rd graders and have mastered coming up with games on the spot. I also have experience as a full-time nanny as well for a 2 y/o. I've recently been babysitting for some coworkers and parents at my gym! I've worked and love all ages (3m/o-13y/o). About me: I have an 80 pound dog that I adore, I'm currently training for my first half marathon (Brooklyn Half), I love to travel more than anything, and I love to cook and bake when I have free time. Academic background: I have undergraduate and graduate degrees from Virginia Tech in Business. I've worked mainly in the analytics space and love problem solving. I'd be happy to teach your kids how to code if they're interested :) Please reach out with any questions, I'm looking forward to chatting with you!!

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.

$25 per hour for 1 child

I believe childhood should be filled with laughter, learning and love. I consider myself patient, loving and reliable. For the past two years, I have been a full-time nanny to a wonderful little one, starting when he was 6 months, which it’s been a wonderful experience, that taught me so much about infant care. I’m a certified preschool teacher in my home country, which has given me knowledge and strong skills in early childhood development. As a plus, Spanish is my first language and I truly enjoy introducing children to it through songs, books and playful activities. I’m CPR-certified caregiver.

Lis has been our nanny for several afternoons and evenings, and our son loves spending time with her. She has a special way of connecting with children, making every moment fun and entertaining. My husband and I always feel at ease knowing our son is in good hands. I don't know what I would do without Liss.

Booked by 1 family in East Elmhurst, 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

"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."

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)."
