Maggie $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Maggie, 34, and kids have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in rural South Africa, where I ran youth programs, facilitated an overnight camp for 40 young women, and worked hands-on with kids and families in the community every single day. Since then I've built a career in international development, working with foundations and nonprofits around the world. These days I work as a consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes me really reliable for regular sits, last-minute evenings, or the occasional weekend. I'm patient, easygoing, and genuinely happiest when I'm playing, reading, or just goofing around with kids. I also speak French, so if you're looking for a little language immersion during playtime, I'd love to bring that in too. I take care of the kids I'm with like they're my own, and I'd love to meet your family!

Yodeline $25 per hour for 1 child

My background in caregiving comes from years of serving in my church’s children’s ministry, where I regularly care for babies and young children during services and women’s group meetings. I also babysit for multiple families, which has given me experience with different ages, routines, and personalities. These opportunities have taught me how to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children while also being responsible and dependable for parents. My qualifications come from hands-on experience, consistency, and trust that families place in me. I’m patient, attentive, and always ready to engage children with play, learning, or simply offering comfort when they need it. I treat every child as an individual and take the time to understand their needs. The traits that make me a great caregiver are my patience, compassion, reliability, and genuine love for children. I bring energy, care, and stability that help kids feel safe and valued.

Naomi $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Naomi, and I an experienced, creative, and warm sitter. I’m looking for a part time babysitting role, ideally 20-25 hrs a week. I work well with kids who are curious, passionate, and ask a lot of questions! I started babysitting as a high school freshman, and I continue to do it because I love kids! I love teaching them how the world works. I taught English to elementary school kids in Spain, and when I returned I worked as a math tutor. I’m very punctual, and a great cook! In my free time I’m a writer and visual artist!

Mawa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mawa, and I'm a childcare provider based in NYC. I have a year and a half of professional experience working with toddlers and preschoolers (ages 1-4) in a daycare environment, along with individual care for families. Prior to that, I also cared for children of family friends. I'm CPR certified and comfortable assisting with a variety of daily needs. I'm an energetic and playful caregiver who loves having fun, but I also believe in maintaining structure and routine to support a child's growth and sense of security. Some of my favorite activities to do with children include reading, exploring outdoors, and anything hands-on or creative. I strive to make every day engaging, safe, and full of opportunities for learning. Currently, I am looking to work with families within the NYC area only. I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit!

"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."

"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)."
