$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Forest Hills, NY

I’m a responsible and adaptable caregiver with extensive experience caring for children ages 1-8. My flexible personality helps me connect easily with kids of all ages. I’ve cared for multiple cats and dogs throughout my life and currently have a cat, so I’m completely comfortable with pets in the home. I understand that every child is unique, and I pride myself on adjusting my approach to meet each family’s specific needs and routines. Whether it’s engaging toddlers with creative play, helping school age children with activities, or providing reliable household support, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for working with both children and animals to every family I work with.

Booked by 9 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hi! My name is Skylar, and I’m a recent UC Irvine graduate. I have several years of babysitting experience and have cared for children ranging from infants as young as 6 months to teens up to 17 years old. I enjoy adapting to each child’s needs, whether that’s playing, reading, helping with homework, or being a supportive and fun companion. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, meal prep, and keeping things organized. I also have experience working at a dog adoption center and caring for pets of all sizes, plus I grew up with dogs myself. I love playing games of all kinds, board games, outdoor games, and even video games, and I especially enjoy making learning fun, particularly with math. Families often tell me they appreciate that I’m responsible, caring, and always ready to keep kids engaged and happy in a safe environment.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! Im Andrés. I am 24 years old, a recent NYU graduate, and am looking to settle into more nanny or babysitting jobs for the summer and fall! I have extensive experience nannying the past 2 years and babysitting throughout my childhood. Aside from nannying, I have experience working as a 5th grade co-teacher in Long Island City as well as 2 years of experience working as the lead Teaching Instructor at a Kumon in Chelsea, Manhattan. Some of my general skills include: bilingual (English and Spanish) very detail oriented, calm and collected, 6 years of NYC and MTA experience, good cook, very clean and kind! Can provide multiple references and have flexible hours!

Andres was an excellent nanny for a 5-6 year old girl. He took her safely around Manhattan to activities and appointments and taught her to feel comfortable on the subway and bus. He's also a great homework helper thanks to his teaching background!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
