Shanell $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Shanell, and I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic sitter with over 4 years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with kids in both personal and professional settings. I’ve cared for my younger cousins and other children, which helped me naturally build patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. Professionally, I spent 3 years working as an afterschool teacher and summer camp counselor, where I supervised groups of children, planned fun and engaging activities, and made sure every child felt safe and included. I also worked for 1 year as a teacher’s aide, supporting classroom instruction and helping students from kindergarten through middle school with their learning and daily routines. I genuinely enjoy being around kids and creating a positive, fun, and structured environment for them. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing activities, or just making sure they’re safe and happy, I always bring a responsible and attentive approach. I look forward to connecting with families and providing trustworthy loving care for your children

Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophie, and I am a compassionate, creative, and highly organized caregiver with a strong background in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a focus in Film Production from The Pennsylvania State University, where I honed my skills in clear communication, problem-solving, and multitasking, abilities that translate seamlessly into providing attentive, high-quality care for children. Currently, I work as an Assistant Teacher for two-year-olds at The Learning Experience, where I support lead teachers in delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that foster early learning and social-emotional growth. Working with toddlers has deepened my understanding of this critical stage of development, from language acquisition to building routines and encouraging independence. I take great joy in guiding little ones through their daily discoveries, using patience, positivity, and creative play to create a warm and structured environment. Prior to this role, I served as an Au Pair, where I provided dedicated care for two children (ages 6 and 8). In this position, I managed daily schedules, planned engaging outings and activities, and fostered a safe, supportive environment that encouraged cooperation and positive social development. I also communicated regularly with parents to ensure their goals and expectations were consistently met. My experience as a Substitute Teacher in the Manheim Township School District further deepened my understanding of child development across grade levels. Working with students from kindergarten through 12th grade, I adapted lesson plans on the spot, managed diverse classroom dynamics, and built instant rapport with students and staff alike. Earlier, as a Day Care Teacher at U-Gro Day Care, I designed and implemented age-appropriate lesson plans, used positive reinforcement to guide behavior, and adapted my teaching to meet the unique needs of every child. I am also CPR-certified and have all required child care clearances, ensuring that your family's safety and peace of mind are always my top priorities. Beyond my professional credentials, I bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for helping children learn and grow. Whether it's organizing fun and educational outings, assisting with homework, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I am committed to supporting each child's emotional and developmental well-being.

Booked by 4 families in Hollis, NY

Hello my name is Persia and I currently live in NYC. I’m offering my services for Childcare and Pets. I love children and animals very much and have always found that they are a joy to be around and work with. While my experience with newborn is slim to none, fortunately I have years of experience with watching children and pets. My experience started at 15 with babysitter and throughout the years me and my family have been very trusted caretakers of pets. I can cook, clean, and take care of any other house hold chores. I can also commute To the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Happy to help anyone in need!

Persia, Is pretty quick at learning. And responsive. I wish I had more time with her. But I think she will be a great fit with any family. She helped with my 3 boys and followed instructions to keep tonthe routine we had set.

Christine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Christine. I’m a 24-year-old childcare professional with a passion for nurturing and supporting children through every stage of development. I’m currently relocating from Denver to New York, and I’m excited to bring my experience and love for caregiving to a new family in the city! I grew up in Atlanta, where I began babysitting at 13 and discovered my lifelong dedication to working with children. I later became a certified nursing assistant and worked in the ICU at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where I cared for medically fragile infants and children—an experience that strengthened my ability to stay calm, compassionate, and attentive in high-pressure situations. More recently, I spent a year teaching in the infant and 2-year-old rooms at Primrose Schools. I also nannied full-time for two children in a nanny share, from the time they were 3 months old until they turned 14 months. I love engaging little ones with age-appropriate activities that support emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I bring warmth, responsibility, and a proactive attitude to every caregiving role. I'm looking forward to finding a family where I can build a strong, trusting relationship and become a helpful and loving part of your daily life!

"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)."
