Mary Ellis $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 23-year-old recent NYU grad school graduate, originally from Alabama and a proud SMU alum. I just completed my Masters in Accounting and am pursuing a CPA license. I’m outgoing, friendly, and dependable, with a strong work ethic and a natural ability to connect with kids. I’ve been babysitting throughout my life and have experience with children of all ages! I love staying active and engaged— whether that’s going on walks, playing tennis, or doing Pilates—and I bring that same energy when caring for kids. I’m patient, organized, attentive, and always focused on creating a fun and safe environment. I’m currently based in NYC and have a full-time role starting in October, so I’m looking to support a family in the meantime. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to help both in and outside the home.

Hannah $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m 19 years old and graduated high school in 2025. I’m starting college this year and will be taking my coursework remotely, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to be very available to a family. I’m currently looking for a live in nanny/family assistant position I genuinely enjoy being around children and love getting to know their individual personalities, interests, and hobbies so I can create activities they truly enjoy. I’m happy to help with routines, homework, meals, playtime, bedtime, reading, creative activities, outdoor time, and keeping their spaces organized. I’m also happy to support the household while children are at school by handling laundry, organizing bedrooms and play areas, tidying, grocery shopping, errands, meal prep, and preparing things for their return from school. I’m proactive and like to notice what needs to be done without waiting to be asked. Because I’ll be studying remotely, I have an extremely flexible schedule and am available for family travel, overnight care, and schedule changes with advance notice. I’m not currently driving yet, but I’m very comfortable being active and walking longer distances, as well as using public transportation. I’m also willing to arrange and cover my own transportation when needed. I understand the importance of privacy, discretion, and respecting each family’s home and routines. I take their trust seriously and want parents to feel confident knowing their children are cared for. I’m dependable, eager to learn, and committed to becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I’m looking for a long-term role where I can become a trusted part of their routine. If you’re looking for more than just a babysitter, someone who can support your children while also helping your household run smoothly I’d love to connect.

Sila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sila, I am 29 years old. I completed a degree in Preschool Education in my country, and after graduating I came to the United States through the Au Pair program to care for children. My favorite age group is infants, babies and toddlers, and I have extensive experience with them. I was an Au Pair for a baby from 2 months to 15 months old and his 2-year-old sister for a year, but I was taking care of the newborn and the responsibility was on me all day-full time. Morning and night routines, preparing meals, giving him baths, taking him outside, transferring to solid foods, helping with motor skill, burping him, feeding on schedule and creating a calm environment for his growth -everything was my responsibility. We enjoyed going to the park, doing puzzles, visiting the library, making rock and leaf collections, reading picture books together, playing with sensory toys, and encouraging crawling and walking. After my Au Pair year, I cared for an 18-month-old toddler for 1.5 years, until she started school. I gained experience with potty training, sleep training, preparing a variety of different meals, doing activities with her, and participating in various events. Also we enjoyed playing with princess toys and Barbies, going to the park, having playdates at the library, baking cookies, coloring, and playing with playdough. Most recently, I cared for a baby from 5 months to 14 months old. My responsibilities included preparing bottles and healthy meals, introducing solid foods, maintaining feeding and nap schedules, diaper changes, baths, developmental play, outdoor walks, and supporting important milestones such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also worked part-time or one time job for a lot of families, and in my home country I worked in both a kindergarten and a daycare. I love cooking and can prepare different kinds of healthy meals for children. I have completed CPR and First Aid training( American Red Cross), and I have a valid driver's license. I can provide references from my Au Pair family and the most recent family I worked for. I am fully vaccinated (Flu, Tdap, and COVID vaccines). I am also happy to help with light housework and to support mothers. I don't smoke, and I love animals.

Anna $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna — I’m 23, originally from Ireland, and currently based in New York. I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages and I genuinely love creating a calm, fun, and safe environment for them. I’m very hands-on and enjoy planning age-appropriate activities like arts & crafts, drawing, puzzles, board games, reading, and outdoor play. I’m responsible, punctual, and very comfortable following routines, bedtime schedules, and house rules. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Management, and through my work experience I’ve developed strong communication skills, reliability, and a high level of professionalism — all things I bring into childcare as well. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as warm, trustworthy, and attentive. I’m happy to help with light tidying related to the kids, meal prep, homework support, or pet care if needed. I’m currently available for occasional, part-time, or full-time roles and would love to connect with a family looking for someone dependable and kind.

"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

"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)."
