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!

Caleb $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a former Reggio Emilia method Preschool Teacher and Special Needs Educator. I make sure children in my care feel safe first, then curious and then confident about the world around them. I focus on socio-emotional needs and encourage love of nature, world cultures, and mythology and well as development of age-appropriate practical skills. I love animals, games, learning and being outside.

Arielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Arielle, and I’m a devoted mom with over four years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have worked as both a babysitter and in daycare settings, giving me strong skills in routines, safety, and creating a fun, nurturing environment. I love helping kids learn and grow through age-appropriate activities, play, and lots of encouragement. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, supporting daily routines, driving to and from school or activities, and helping with homework. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks to help keep things running smoothly. Families describe me as patient, dependable, and caring, and I truly treat every child as if they were my own.

Porsha $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been in child services for a little over 5 years. I’ve been able to work at agencies and in private homes with children as far as infants to grown adults with special needs. I’m in Brooklyn so I’m not far from a few boroughs and I don’t mind traveling and working along with families in need as far as scheduling.

Matthew $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Matt. I’m from Massachusetts and and now live in Bed-Stuy. I graduated from RISD three years ago where I studied illustration and focused on making children's books. Most recently I was an illustrator for the fashion brand bode and then a costume coordinator for network television. As a result of the strikes I’m trying new things. I have two younger siblings and babysat almost every weekend for families all over my neighborhood growing up. I love kids and have volunteered as an art teacher as well! I’m great with pets, very organized, and oriented. I look forward to hearing from you!

"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)."
