Zoe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Zoe and I am a 23 year old graduate from UC Santa Barbara who recently moved to Brooklyn. I offer childcare (all ages), pet care, tutoring and other household help! I love working with kids because their curiosity and silliness is contagious, especially when I can introduce them to the crafts and games I grew up on! I have been working with kids of all ages (newborn - teens) since 2018. I have 5 years of experience working at a sleep away summer camp as a counselor, arts and crafts specialist and supervisor. I most recently worked as the Supervisor of Children’s Services at a Domestic Violence shelter, where I managed a daycare and afterschool programs for 80+ kids. I love playing games, leading arts and crafts, helping with homework and taking kids outside! Additionally, I can cook, clean, take care of pets, or help with whatever else you may need! I am CPR trained and am a Wilderness First Responder, which prepares me to respond to emergency situations. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I would love to help in anyway I can!

Joset $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone, My name is Joset. I live in Brooklyn and I'm CPR Certified and fully vaccinated. I have more than 20 years experience in Childcare, caring for children from infant through to teen. I'm a very nurturing, loving, dedicated, jovial and fun person. I love caring for children because It's a joy for me to work with them and see their different stages of development and to teach new things while learning from them also. I've cared for 9 months old twin, changing their diaper, feeding them, sterilizing bottles, putting them down for naps, taking them for walks, to music class etc. I cared for mute boys ages 4&2 who were on the spectrum, that allows me to work with speech, occupational and physical therapists. Also I have worked with a 7-year-old who had ADHD for 3 years, whom I took all over New York City to Dr. appointment, museums, zoo, library, picnic in the park, movies and many more. I can commit to any job for long term, I've been on one of my previous job for over 6 years and I also have impeccable references. My current boss is moving and I'm available to start a new job. Looking forward hearing from you. Joset

Kelly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kelly, and I’m excited to offer babysitting services and more to families in New York City. With nearly 15 years of babysitting experience and 5 summers spent working as a camp counselor at a YMCA overnight camp, I’m well-equipped to care for children of all ages. I’ve gained valuable skills over the years, from keeping kids engaged and safe to managing bedtime routines and providing emotional support when needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and am more than happy to care for pets, whether that means feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship while you're away. Whether you're looking for a sitter for a night out, a weekend away, or ongoing care, I am here to help. I’m reliable, responsible, and passionate about creating a fun and safe environment for your children. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a time to meet—I look forward to helping out your family!

Sophie $22 per hour for 1 child

I absolutely love children and animals! I grew up watching my little siblings who are 7 years younger pretty often. I used to teach dance to little girls and I have experience as a fourth grade teacher as well. So, I’m happy to tutor as well! Additionally, I have been dog and cat sitting for families for years. I am extremely organized, responsible, and a hard worker. I love to clean and cook so I’m also happy to assist with those needs as well! I have a talent for art and majored in graphic design so I’m happy to tutor kids in Photoshop or graphic design and also do art projects with them!

Florence $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Forest Hills, NY

Hey there! My name is Florence, and I am a rising senior at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. I am fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and have experience tutoring kindergarten to 10th-grade math, ELA, history, and college admissions prep. I have previously babysat children ranging from 5 to 18 years old, and I also have experience walking dogs and cats. I reside on the Upper East Side but am willing to commute within the city. I love hanging out with children and try to avoid screen time when I babysit by engaging in other activities such as going to the park, drawing, playing board games, or even doing read-alouds. I am home for the summer and am looking for part-time babysitting gigs, mainly in the mornings, evenings, or even overnight. Happy to help out! linkedin profile:[removed]

"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

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)."
