Tatyana $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Tatyana and I have over 10 years of babysitting experience. I also help care for my niece and nephew, so I understand the patience, creativity, and attention kids of all ages need. I’m comfortable caring for children of any age, from infants to teens. Along with childcare, I enjoy cooking and can prepare meals the kids will love, clean up, and keep things organized around the house. I truly love animals — I have cats myself — so I’m happy to work with families who have pets. Parents can count on me to be responsible, caring, and dependable while making sure your children feel safe, supported, and happy.

Mikaela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mikaela, and I’m originally from New York. I’ve been living in the city for the past eight years and have several years of hands-on experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 12. From the age of 17 to 21, I worked full-time as a babysitter for a pair of twin girls. My responsibilities included everything from after-school pick-up and homework help to preparing dinner and getting them to their after-school activities. I’ve always loved working with kids, I find it incredibly rewarding to be part of their growth and to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I’m patient, dependable, and energetic, and I bring a calm, positive attitude to every family I work with. I’d be a great fit for any babysitting job and would love the opportunity to support your family however I can.

Hi! My name is Caline. I am currently completing my Masters in Public Health at Columbia University. I usually babysit my nieces (4 years old, 1.5 years old) and nephew (9months). I love kids and enjoy spending my time with them. Fun fact: I minored in child and adolescent mental health studies at NYU during my undergraduate studies to learn more about kids. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

Booked by 8 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hello! My name is Shaday, and I am an experienced and dedicated nanny/babysitter with over 6 years of hands-on experience providing exceptional childcare. My passion for nurturing and guiding children has equipped me with a wide range of skills that ensure their safety, growth, and well-being in a trusting and caring environment. Parents can feel confident leaving their little ones in my care, knowing that I prioritize creating a loving, educational, and fun atmosphere. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing nutritious meals, or organizing engaging activities, I am committed to supporting both the children and the family's needs. Looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to your family’s life!

Shaday has babysat for us twice and she is punctual and friendly. While we were away, she responded quickly to inquiries about how little one was doing. Our little one is very hesitant about strangers, but seems to really like Shaday. And was genuinely sad to see her leave.

"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)."
