Jullia $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m Jullia, 23 years old. I provide intentional, high-level childcare focused on structure, emotional intelligence, and developmental support. I am calm, discreet, and exceptionally reliable. I create organized routines that promote independence, confidence, and security while maintaining a warm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced managing full daily schedules, school coordination, enrichment activities, and maintaining a peaceful, well-structured home environment. I value professionalism, clear communication, and mutual respect. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your parenting style, offering consistent, thoughtful care tailored to your family’s standards. I’m also a strong driver, pet friendly, fully vaccinated and I have +5000 hours experience with kids! My main skills include preparing meals (my favorite hobby is cooking, and I would be very happy to cook for the child and for the family if needed), changing diapers, preparing bottles, and entertaining children without the use of screens. I am also passionate about mathematics and sciences and would be happy to teach or help children who need tutoring. I am fluent in English and Portuguese and have an intermediate level of Spanish. If your family would like, I can speak with the children in any of these languages and help them learn as well.

Sacha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a 22-year-old college student from Queens, New York with a passion for working with kids. I naturally connect with children and love creating fun, engaging experiences for them! I originally studied Early Childhood Education to become a first-grade teacher, but I'm now exploring a career in pediatric nursing because I truly enjoy caring for children. I have hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings who are now middle schoolers. Dealing with them has taught me patience, responsibility, and creativity in keeping kids entertained and happy. What I Offer: 1. Fun and engaging activities 2. Homework help 3. Safe and responsible care 4. A warm, bubbly personality that kids love 5. Experience with both cats and dogs (super pet-friendly!) I would love the opportunity to babysit for your family. Feel free to reach out! I can't wait to meet you and your little ones!

I am an energetic sitter with a passion for caring for kids. I am a recent college graduate with 3 years of Full-Time Nannying experience and have been babysitting since I was 15. I have experience with children ages 4 months-12 years and I love each stage for different reasons! I just moved to NYC and my full time job in Real Estate Finance doesn’t start until April, so I’m looking for something consistent in the meantime!

Samantha $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sam and I would love to help out your family in whatever way I can! All throughout college and highschool I lead a group of middle schoolers through a program back in Georgia. This included weekly visits and taking them on trips. I also was a camp counselor for a camp called Lighthouse Family Retreat where I would take care of families whose children have cancer. This included watching over kids of all ages. Both of these experiences have made me great with kids elementary to highschool age! I am super passionate about being a reliable helper and would love to discuss whatever you may need!

Alex $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Alex! I'm a passionate, empathetic, and creative student. I've worked with my family and those in my neighborhood, along with working with younger children through school mentor programs. One thing you should know about me is that I always put one hundred percent into anything I do. When I do something, I don't like to do the minimum. In childcare, along with everything else, I bring my best self and effort to the table. I am always determined to make a good impression and go above and beyond in every aspect. I care deeply, and my passion drives me to always put my best foot forward. Whatever you are looking for, I will always come to a job the same way I approach all my other passions: with care, drive, and a commitment to excellence. My skills include meal prep and cooking for children, helping with homework or schoolwork, and providing quality activities and entertainment, including play, crafts, story time, and more.

"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)."
