Meitav $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Meitav and I have been working in child care for over 13 years! What started out as being a mother's helper to people in my community when I was 12 slowly graduated to nanny and babysitting gigs that I've done with families with various ages and needs up until today. I was a preschool teacher for 3 years for ages 4 and 5 and worked for 4 years as an after school teacher to K-1 students. I also worked as a Hebrew and English tutor for 3 years to kids ranging from kindergarten to 7th grade. I have worked with ages 5 months to 13 years old. I have experience working with kids with special needs and in houses with food allergies and kashrut laws. I can cook, bake, and clean, and while I do not have a car, I am comfortable transporting kids via the MTA! I studied painting in college and specialize in creating fun and engaging activities for kids of all ages that include the arts and other creative forms of expression. Please reach out!

Booked by 3 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi there! I’m a Brooklyn born and raised in Ridgewood/Bushwick. I am a very family-oriented human who loves pets (especially my Marley who’s a mini golden-doodle)! Growing up it’s has always been a responsibility as the oldest of Three in my family, to care for my younger siblings when my parents needed the extra help around. Which evidently got me into Daycare Teacher certification for a Daycare in Bushwick and early childhood education. I worked for many years in to then getting my CPR certification as well. And now currently studying herbalism. I would say I have more than 5+ years of experience taking care, having FUN with children that I care for! Kindly, Dayana C.

Sam $25 per hour for 1 child

When I was a kid all I ever wanted was to have an older brother to talk to, mess around with, help me with my homework, and show up for me. The girls my parents would hire to watch us were more than capable and very good to us, but they'd never really play with or fully engage with me. Eventually, I began serving a few families and really found my spot in working with kids. You'll forgive me for saying so - but, they're often easier to spend time with than many adults I know. It costs nothing to make a kid's day if it makes yours. I have 9 years of hands-on experience in supervising and engaging with children. Seeking opportunities that allow me to do what I love and have a meaningful impact on others. My personality could be described as enthusiastic, engaging, and earnest. My skills include tutoring, cooking, and engaging in play. And in my spare time I enjoy playing sports, several instruments, and chess.

Marisol $30 per hour for 1 child

I am 26 year old, have my bachelors degree in Forensics Psychology, experience in driving, running errands and decorating/creating events, cooking small snacks for the kiddos. I have nieces and nephews who I have babysat in the past before they moved to Pennsylvania. My mom is a nanny of 16 years and I have seen her multitask when she began when the little girl was 2 weeks old. I've taken the skills of my mom and have helped me build confident to do the same. I've babysat the girl in the night as the mom would go to her events. I am very organized, detailed-oriented, communicative, punctual. Always willing to help in any way. Part time for nights and weekends, just a student trying to survive out here in nyc lol!

Hello, My name is Youma, I am 38 years old and I’m a mother of 6. I have 5 daughters and 1 son. Ages 18 , 16 , 14 , 14 , 12 , and 1. I have over 18 years of experience watching and raising children of my own. I want to start working as a caretaker because people have lives to live and usually can’t spend most of their days watching children, pets , or seniors. And I’m here to help those people out.

"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)."
