Marjon $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I'm MJ, or you can call me Miss MJ if you'd like. I'm a super fun and youthful babysitter who loves to make playtime extra special for the kids I take care of. I believe in the power of engaging activities and creating a nurturing environment where children can explore their creativity and have a blast. I've had the opportunity to work at two awesome daycare centers, one afterschool program, and have babysat for over four different families. Being part of a big family myself, I've been babysitting since I was a little kid, so I have experience with children of all ages. I've even had the privilege of working with children on the spectrum. I'm excited to bring my energy and vibrance into your little ones' lives. <3

Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! I would love to work with you. I am very mindful of safety and I like to think ahead of what could go wrong ( something that I realize a lot of people don't seem to think is important)

Camila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hola, my name is Camila and I am a Peruvian-American teaching artist based in Brooklyn specializing in early childhood care. If you’re looking for someone to incorporate other languages (not just Spanish and English but Italian German and French), music, and whimsy to your kids’ daily routine this summer then I am the sitter for you! Besides being a babysitter I have worked at summer camps and day cares since I was 15 years old and am comfortable wrangling multiple children at once. Currently I am a counselor and Wilder summer camp, an art teacher at Le Meraviglie Italian center, a piano teacher with Froggy and Hoggy music school, and am a company member of Teatro SEA- the premier theater for young audiences in Spanish. I am fluent in Spanish, cpr (infant) certified, and have a valid drivers license (but no car unfortunately).

Marisa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Marisa and I have been caring for children and animals since I was only 10 years old myself. I’m now 25, graduated from the University of Virginia, and living in Brooklyn. As for my experience, I volunteered in 2-3 year old daycare classes throughout middle and high school, have babysat countless family friends children, and I even babysat my high school principals kids! I currently have a three year old niece that I love spending time with, and several newborn baby cousins I help watch when I am home. I have also been a middle school camp counselor for 5 years, and do tutoring with high school students. I am an active dog sitter and walker, and am happy to include pet care in the services I offer. Mostly, I would love to help with your little ones and give them care they need to grow strong. Thank you for considering me!

Jude

Hi there! I have years of childcare experience for children of all ages. I have cared for infants and toddlers, and have also worked as an assistant teacher in a fourth grade classroom. Beyond my classroom and private care experience, I have taught guitar and bass to children of all ages, so if your child is interested in learning an instrument I can offer that as a bonus! On the whole, I am creative, caring and highly attentive. I know how to keep kids entertained without relying on technology. Coming up with art projects is my specialty, so if your child loves making things I'm here to help!

"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)."
