Mehak $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mehak and I am about to wrap up my third year in a school-clinical child psychology doctoral program. I have been working with kids and adolescents of various ages over the past 10 years during my undergraduate and graduate careers. I am passionate and hopeful about becoming a child psychologist in the future, specifically implementing types of therapy such as play therapy and creative arts therapy. I think this sets me up for success when it comes to interacting with children because I prioritize a solution-focused and strengths-based approach when navigating issues related to discipline and educating children. Outside of my work in psychology, I love seeing live music, comedy shows, doing karaoke with friends, and exploring restaurants and dessert shops with friends. I also really love going to the beach during the summer and journaling!

Kelly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kelly, and I’m excited to offer babysitting services and more to families in New York City. With nearly 15 years of babysitting experience and 5 summers spent working as a camp counselor at a YMCA overnight camp, I’m well-equipped to care for children of all ages. I’ve gained valuable skills over the years, from keeping kids engaged and safe to managing bedtime routines and providing emotional support when needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and am more than happy to care for pets, whether that means feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship while you're away. Whether you're looking for a sitter for a night out, a weekend away, or ongoing care, I am here to help. I’m reliable, responsible, and passionate about creating a fun and safe environment for your children. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a time to meet—I look forward to helping out your family!

Heather $17 per hour for 1 child

I've been a counselor at Rock Camp's before as well as a music teacher. I've mainly worked with kids ages 5+. I'm an animal lover and have two cats of my own. I grew up with dogs and have taken care of other friends and relatives animals before. My experience with seniors who need additional care is with my own mother who has MS and I grew up with her having disabilities so I'm very knowledgeable with taking care of older seniors. I'm looking for some work right now while I'm in-between jobs. I can help with house care as well. Thank you for your consideration. -Heather

"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."

"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)."
