Sam $25 per hour for 1 child

When I was a kid all I ever wanted was to have an older brother to talk to, mess around with, help me with my homework, and show up for me. The girls my parents would hire to watch us were more than capable and very good to us, but they'd never really play with or fully engage with me. Eventually, I began serving a few families and really found my spot in working with kids. You'll forgive me for saying so - but, they're often easier to spend time with than many adults I know. It costs nothing to make a kid's day if it makes yours. I have 9 years of hands-on experience in supervising and engaging with children. Seeking opportunities that allow me to do what I love and have a meaningful impact on others. My personality could be described as enthusiastic, engaging, and earnest. My skills include tutoring, cooking, and engaging in play. And in my spare time I enjoy playing sports, several instruments, and chess.

Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Maria. I am a mom to a 32-year old adult with autism. As a special ed teacher, I have worked with many children with special needs helping them with activities of daily living (feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting, etc) behavioral and communication adaptations. I can take children to school or other appointments, as well as assist them with homework. I live on the Upper East side and am available to work twice a week. I am allergic to animals so I cannot work in households with pets. I do not speak Spanish. I consider myself to be an organized, compassionate, patient and trustworthy person. I prefer to work with seniors or no more than two kids aged 2 and above.

Anais $21 per hour for 1 child

I have worked at a summer program as a tutor/consular preparing higher schoolers for college. My experience during that time allowed me to develop skills that would be useful for babysitting, like time management and comprehension towards the Childs needs, as well as being patient. Being very attentive and alert is another important trait I have as a caregiver. I have also done dog walking and have a dog of my own which I take care of.

About Me, Hello, my name is Ana. I have 7 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I speak Spanish fluently and know basic English.

I am very flexible with hours and can adjust to different schedules. Parents describe me as patient, responsible, and caring.

Reagan $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Reagan and I am from Michigan. I am a recent graduate of Marymount Manhattan College with a dual degree in BFA Musical Theatre and BA Playwriting. I have been working as a babysitter since I was fourteen years old, picking up shifts in my hometown for family friends. In NYC, I have worked at The Gaga Center, leading parties of 10-50 children, giving me plenty of experience with engaging large groups of children, supervising their safety, and keeping them on task. Since graduating, I have worked as an as-needed babysitter for a few families and am interested in taking on more jobs. Some of my hobbies include reading, bike riding, board games (I love Mancala), and cooking! I am passionate about participating in no-screen activities with kids and am happy to try something new!

"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)."
