Brandon $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Brandon, and I’m 22 years old. I recently graduated from NYU’s Rory Meyers College of Nursing with a minor in Child & Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I currently work as a Pediatric Oncology/Hematology/BMT Nurse at a children’s hospital in New York City. Through my nursing career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children from newborns to young adults. I am CPR/AED certified and highly attentive to children’s needs and behavior, which ensures your child’s safety and well-being. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and would love the opportunity to babysit for your family. While my nursing schedule can vary, I will always communicate clearly about my availability. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help with: Tutoring and homework support, school pick-up and drop-off, light cleaning and cooking, and general household tasks.

Holland 4 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Holland, I'm 24, and I am a part time graduate student (Masters in Forensic Psychology) based in Brooklyn, NY. I have a passion for social justice, safety, and the wellbeing of vulnerable individuals in our communities. In my free time I love to bake, read, and spend time with my cat, Bunny! I would describe myself as communicative, patient, and organized. I love to make sure everyone is on the same page at all times and highly value a collaborative approach when working with families and care teams. I have experience working in both private childcare (toddlers through middle school age) and as a mentor/behavior coach at state agencies (elementary through high school ages). I also have experience working with neurodivergent kiddos, including profound (nonverbal) autism and intellectual disabilities. I understand each child has their own strengths and difficulties, and I do my absolute best to meet them where they're at and in a manner that will be supportive to them and their goals. I am very comfortable with home tasks such as cleaning, cooking, organization, and schedule management. I am open to a family assistant role that includes all of the above if necessary (rate increases to reflect responsibilities, at least $5/hr for non-child related cleaning/cooking). As I am in grad school, I'm looking for a family with some flexibility as my schedule is subject to change each semester. I'd love to connect and discuss the specifics of my experience and get to know you. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Holland is smart, kind, funny, intuitive, organized, and capable. In the several months she has worked for us she has taken excellent care of our young toddler son. He absolutely loves her and so do we. Not only does she make sure he eats enough, drinks water, naps on time, and has lots of fun playtime, but when he is napping she efficiently tidies and restores order to our home. I am particular about the house and she has no problems meeting my high standards. She is an excellent communicator and a quick learner who takes feedback well and integrates it easily. Holland is a gem. We will miss her so much when she leaves our area!

Mary Ellis $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 23-year-old recent NYU grad school graduate, originally from Alabama and a proud SMU alum. I just completed my Masters in Accounting and am pursuing a CPA license. I’m outgoing, friendly, and dependable, with a strong work ethic and a natural ability to connect with kids. I’ve been babysitting throughout my life and have experience with children of all ages! I love staying active and engaged— whether that’s going on walks, playing tennis, or doing Pilates—and I bring that same energy when caring for kids. I’m patient, organized, attentive, and always focused on creating a fun and safe environment. I’m currently based in NYC and have a full-time role starting in October, so I’m looking to support a family in the meantime. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to help both in and outside the home.

"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)."
