Maya $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Maya, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I was born in New York, grew up in California, and have been back in New York for the past seven years. I started babysitting in college and quickly realized how much I love helping kids learn, play, and grow. I come from a big family, so I’ve had lots of hands-on experience with little ones—including my 3-year-old brother and many younger cousins that I’ve proudly helped care for over the years. I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, and I always treat children with the same care and attention I would want for my own family. I’m a non-smoker, enjoy spending time outside, and love getting creative with arts and crafts. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or simply being a kind and reliable presence, I take pride in making every day positive for both kids and parents. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position and would be excited to become a trusted part of your family’s support system!

Hi my name is Chuck and I love working with pets. I've been working with them for over 5 years now. I do it full time and have gained so much experience that has helped keep me and the pets I take care of safe and happy. I get a personal joy from knowing that these beautiful animals are taken care of and that their owners are happy with the job I've done. I'm always happy and ready to do it again and again

Farhana $30 per hour for 1 child

i am new to urban sitter! Hi everybody, my name is Farhana. I have a strong background in caregiving with hands-on experience supporting kids of all ages, seniors, and even household pets, which has helped me develop the patience, empathy, and reliability families look for in a great caregiver. I’ve worked in daycares, after-school programs, and as a substitute teacher and teacher’s aide, giving me a solid understanding of child development, safety, and behavior support. My personality is warm, calm, and nurturing, and I’m skilled at creating routines, helping with homework, managing behaviors, and keeping kids engaged through fun and educational activities. I’m also comfortable assisting seniors with daily tasks and providing companionship, and I handle household responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, and organizing with ease. Altogether, my experience, strong communication, and genuine love for helping others make me a dependable and caring support for any family.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Jamaica, NY

I have almost 10 years of childcare experience. I have a B.A. from SDSU in Psychology with a focus in child development. I am a preschool/afterschool program teacher working with infants up to school-age. I have two years of prior experience as an in-home development specialist, leading play-based therapy for families with children ages 0-3 who needed a little extra support or those with developmental delays. I assessed milestones and implemented goals based on their overall development abilities - focusing on fine/gross motor, cognitive, communication skills, and more. I additionally have experience working with children with special needs and developmental disabilities such as down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, children with feeding needs/allergies, and SMA type 1. I have active CPR, First Aid, and mandated reporter certificates in CA, and strong references upon request. Fun facts about me: I am a musician, I am a triplet, and I fluently speak Italian and some Spanish. I am a proud owner of two cats and I love animals and the outdoors. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you!!

"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)."
