Zoe $25 per hour for 1 child

I've been babysitting for over 10 years, starting at age eleven when I began helping care for my newborn sister. As I got older, I started watching her friends too, building relationships with several families and learning a lot about kids along the way. Over the years, I've also spent three summers working as a full-time nanny, including over 3 years of hands-on experience specifically caring for infants and toddlers. I graduated from Tufts last spring with an interest in pediatric health, and I'm currently taking time to do what I love: caring for children, while I explore that path further. I love using play and creativity to nurture a child's imagination, but I also know that no two kids are the same. Some children thrive with structure and consistent routines, while others do best with more flexibility and spontaneity. I take the time to understand each child individually and adapt my approach to what works best for them and what parents are looking for. Beyond childcare, I'm also an experienced pet sitter and comfortable cooking for kids and families alike, from simple toddler meals to full family dinners. I'm happy to help with light housework too, including organizing, laundry, dishes, and general tidying, so the household runs smoothly alongside childcare. I'm reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I care about building genuine trust with the families I work with. I'd love the opportunity to bring that same care and dependability to your family.

Clarisa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clarisa and I am a reliable, caring, and experienced babysitter based in the NYC area. I currently work part time and am available for date nights, weekends, and occasional babysitting. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, especially school age kids. Most recently, I spent the past 3 years in a consistent role caring for children, which has strengthened my ability to create structure, build trust, and keep kids engaged in a positive way. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in being more than just a babysitter. I aim to be a positive role model and someone kids feel safe, supported, and comfortable around. Whether it is helping with routines, homework, or just making sure they are having a fun and relaxed evening, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a calm, positive energy into every home. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am very comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I am happy to help with light tidying related to the children and keeping things organized during my time there. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident when leaving their children with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am dependable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s needs and routines. I value the level of care I provide and look forward to connecting with families who are looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely invested in their children’s well being.

Anais $21 per hour for 1 child

I have worked at a summer program as a tutor/consular preparing higher schoolers for college. My experience during that time allowed me to develop skills that would be useful for babysitting, like time management and comprehension towards the Childs needs, as well as being patient. Being very attentive and alert is another important trait I have as a caregiver. I have also done dog walking and have a dog of my own which I take care of.

Paula $40 per hour for 1 child

Greetings, my name is Paula. I am a nurse by trade with 5 years of experience. Additionally I have 5 years of experience working with children which includes: babysitting, pediatric clinic, vision therapist (for children with misalignments in their eyes, traumatic brain injuries, and to improve hand-eye coordination), and soccer coach. My nursing career has been centered around post-operative patients so I may be useful with post-operative care for an array of surgeries. My personal qualities related to caregiving include being patient, attentive, and engaged. At baseline I am upbeat and would love to encourage outdoor, interactive play, sports and other activities to encourage movement and problem solving. I look forward to assisting your family with child care or elderly care. Thank you, P

"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)."
