Simone $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Simone and I have been caring for children for most of my developmental years and adult years. I am 25 years old and currently work in the fashion industry. I babysat for a few different families throughout my high school and college years.The children I cared for ages ranged between 3-12. I have experience doing afterschool care and nighttime routines. I am more than happy to help families with animals. I also was a competitive cheerleading coach for children 5-18 years of age for 6 years. I have also cared for babies previously. I have always had a passion and drive to help care for children. I grew a deep bond with the past families's children's that I had babysat for and was very accommodating to each families specific needs. I enjoy having a fun time with the kids and being an extra support system for them. I am looking for a long term/full time role. Thank you for taking time to read this.

Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olga Maria, and I am a proud mother of three wonderful children—two boys and a daughter. Being a mom has given me valuable hands-on experience caring for children, understanding their needs, and creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where they can grow and thrive. I truly enjoy spending time with children, taking them to the park, engaging them in fun and educational activities, reading stories, and helping them develop their listening skills, creativity, confidence, and social skills. I believe that every child deserves patience, kindness, attention, and quality time. My goal is to make every child feel safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while providing parents with peace of mind. I enjoy encouraging children to explore, learn new things, play, and develop at their own pace in a positive and supportive environment. As a caring, responsible, and patient mother, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones. I would love the opportunity to care for your children as if they were my own, making sure they feel supported, engaged, and well cared for every day.

Gianna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Forest Hills, NY

Hello! I’ve been caring for kids since I was a teenager and have over 5 years of professional experience working with children ages 5–12, as well as toddlers. I currently work as a paraprofessional, supporting kids of all abilities, including those with special needs and behavioral challenges. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children, keeping routines structured, and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m patient, calm, and adaptable, and I really focus on making kids feel understood, supported, and confident. I also have experience helping with homework, daily routines, playtime, and light household tasks. I’m currently finishing my bachelor’s degree and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I genuinely love working with kids and building strong, trusting relationships with both them and their families :)

“I needed help watching my little brothers (5yr and 3yr old) last minute and Gianna saved the day! If you’re looking for someone who is patient and attentive to your kids needs Gianna is the one. My brothers are still asking about her and when she’s coming back! Would and will hire again.”

Kimora $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Forest Hills, NY

Hey there! My name is Kimora, I am an aspiring teacher in the making with both classroom and personal experience fostering children's personal growth and curiosity. I have been working in education and Childcare for roughly 5yrs mainly between the Pre-Kindergarten and 3rd Grade range. Meaning I am equipped with age appropriate games and crafts. I am also an intermediate artist and baker so if there are any future creative in this world I would love to nurture that as I do the kids in my own family. Small note if you've made it this far; I do not do crazy colors like my profile picture very often, maybe twice a year. But I wanted to be transparent with that in case my service with your family becomes more permanent in a year.

"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)."
