Audrey 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi! My name is Audrey, and I’m an experienced nanny and certified public school teacher with over 10 years of experience working with children in private homes and schools. I worked as a nanny while earning a B.A. in French Language and Literature in Philadelphia and again during an M.Ed program in Austin. For the last three years, I’ve worked as a French teacher both for elementary and high school students. I’m now nannying again, as well as tutoring in French. I am seeking a stable (< 30 hrs/week) nannying position, as well as occasional work, where I can become a reliable, supportive presence in a family’s life. My favorite part of this job is bonding with kids and their families. I am still in touch with many of the families I’ve worked with and really value those connections! I speak French and have lived and studied in France twice, so I would love to work with a francophone family.

“Audrey looked after our 7mo old for a whole day, and was fantastic. They went out to story time at the library, walked in the park, and generally kiddo was super happy on our return. Very professional, experienced working with kids, and easy to deal with. Would absolutely book again.”

Chloe 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families!! My name is Chloe I am 23 years old and I am looking to be your sitter. I have been babysitting for over 10 years with experience in ages ranging from 2-14! I’ve also spent four years as a lead camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising groups, planning activities, and creating a fun, safe, and inclusive environment. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged, helping with homework, or organizing creative activities, I aim to make every child feel supported and cared for. In addition to childcare, I also offer cat sitting, pet sitting, and help with general household chores. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and proactive—I always try to anticipate needs and make parents’ lives a little easier. I take pride in being someone families can truly trust and rely on.

“Chloe is very reliable, professional, and capable. She has frequently watched my three kids, and the kids always have a blast. She is very conscientious and keeps the kids occupied. She has also done chores for me around the house, and I have been quite pleased with her work. Highly recommend.”

Booked by 3 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi all, I’m Kayla — I’m currently studying to become a grade school teacher, and working with kids is truly my passion. I lead my church’s daycare and have experience with a wide range of ages, personalities, and group sizes. I absolutely love how creative, curious, and different every child is! I’m very routine-oriented and understand how important structure and consistency are for kids to feel secure and thrive. Whether it’s homework help, playtime, crafts, meal prep, or bedtime routines, I aim to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel supported and excited. I’m patient, calm, dependable, and big on communication with parents. My goal is always to make your life easier while making sure your little ones are happy and cared for!

“I’ve known Kayla and her family for many years through our church, and she has always been such a blessing to our family. My children, Adrian and Elizabeth, absolutely loved their after-school time with her, Sunday classes, and just spending time together in general. She has a natural way with kids that makes them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Kayla has always been flexible and reliable — whether it was late nights, early pick-ups, or even helping care for the kids when they weren’t feeling well. We truly trust and love Kayla to this day. 10,000/10 — I would recommend her to any family without hesitation.”

Erik 1 review
$23 per hour for 1 child

I enjoy babysitting and have been caring for children of all ages—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids for many years, especially growing up with younger siblings. My experience includes driving children to and from school, organizing crafts and activities, and providing elementary-level tutoring. In addition, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cleaning, cooking, running errands, transportation to appointments, and other daily tasks. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets and multi-generational families, including those with grandparents.

“Erik was our nanny for 2–3 years, and if we could have taken him with us when we moved, we absolutely would have. He became such an important part of our family. Erik became such an important part of our family. He is an incredible caregiver — patient, loyal, and deeply trustworthy. He prepared meals for our children, handled overnights with confidence, and was always there whenever a situation came up. We always felt completely at ease knowing our kids were in his care. Any family would be so lucky to have him.”

Booked by 7 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi! I’m a college student with lots of availability and years of babysitting experience, working with kids from newborns to 10 years old. I love making things fun with games, crafts, and activities, and I’m always happy to help with homework, run errands, or pitch in around the house. I’m responsible, patient, and positive, and I really enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with. My goal is always to make sure kids feel safe, supported, and have a great time while they're in my care!

“Emily was very quick in replying, and very flexible when I had a really early morning appointment that was postponed last minute and then stretched into the mid-afternoon hours. She was absolutely professional and saved me a lot of hassle and trouble. She has a very nice and warm personality and my son still asks about her regularly. She was able to calm him down quickly when he was truly upset over me leaving. She kept him busy and happy. I will hire her again on the spot, and can only recommend her highly.”

"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)."
