Taylor 1 review
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm currently a college student majoring in psychology on the pre-med track. I've always had a deep love for working with children and animals, and my ultimate goal is to work in the medical field helping children. Currently, I have experience caring for an adorable 9-month-old and I'm excited to grow my range of experience with kids of different ages. For the past couple of years, I have been working in an Assisted Living facility, supporting patients with dementia. This experience has truly grown my sense of empathy and patience. I've been around kids my whole life-- growing up, I helped care for my younger siblings, so undertaking a caregiver role is very natural to me. I like to think of myself as someone who is very patient, caring, and trustworthy, and I genuinely enjoy being a part of a child's day-to-day life and development.

“Taylor was an exceptional babysitter to my daughter. She went above and beyond to make sure my daughter had a productive day. She read to her, sang songs, played developmental games and went on walks with her. She made healthy puree recipes for her and always made sure my daughter’s eczema medications were applied on time. She even setup a daily log book for my daughter where she tracked her activities from diaper changes, feedings and playtime. I never had to worry while I was at work because I knew she was very well taken care of. I loved that I didn’t have to tell her exactly what to do, she would come in and manage accordingly. She was extremely professional and always on time. I’m looking forward to working with her again!”

Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa, I'm 31 years old and live in Manhattan near Carnegie Hall. I'm taking a break from corporate life (I'm a business intelligence developer normally) and want to make some cash doing something I love for a little bit while I figure out my next move. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old for neighbors and friends and have continued babysitting ever since. I was a camp counselor for a few years for 3rd graders and have mastered coming up with games on the spot. I also have experience as a full-time nanny as well for a 2 y/o. I've recently been babysitting for some coworkers and parents at my gym! I've worked and love all ages (3m/o-13y/o). About me: I have an 80 pound dog that I adore, I'm currently training for my first half marathon (Brooklyn Half), I love to travel more than anything, and I love to cook and bake when I have free time. Academic background: I have undergraduate and graduate degrees from Virginia Tech in Business. I've worked mainly in the analytics space and love problem solving. I'd be happy to teach your kids how to code if they're interested :) Please reach out with any questions, I'm looking forward to chatting with you!!

Genevieve $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Evie, a Clinical Research Coordinator at Mount Sinai, where I work full-time in medical research. I've been nannying and babysitting for years and have experience caring for children ranging from infants to middle schoolers in both full-time and part-time roles. I love planning fun activities, getting kids outside, doing crafts, reading books, helping with homework, and creating a safe, engaging environment where they can have fun and thrive. I'm CPR certified, dependable, organized, and currently available for evenings and weekends in NYC.

Augusta $25 per hour for 1 child

I grew up with a paintbrush in one hand and a bug jar in the other, and that's pretty much still true. As a recent Sarah Lawrence graduate steeped in art and culture, I'd love to share that curiosity with kids — turning a rainy afternoon into an art studio on the kitchen table, or a walk to the corner store into a scavenger hunt through history and nature. I believe kids learn best outside, hands dirty, following whatever's caught their attention — a beetle on the sidewalk, a cloud shaped like a dragon, the story behind a statue in the park. I've babysat for family and friends for years, bringing genuine curiosity rather than a checklist of activities. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so safety's never an afterthought, but I leave room for spontaneity — fort-building, bedtime, and everything between. I show up present and invested, because the best part of this work is watching a kid's face when they've made or discovered something new.

"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)."
