Trinity New York
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! - My name is Trinity, and I am an actor/ performer here in New York, coming from a background of musical theatre and comedy with a touch of writing on the side. I have a heavy performance background in a variety of arts such as singing, dancing, and acting. I've been a student of the craft for the majority of my school and business life. I love performing, and I love the flexibility that comes with being an actor. I’ve spent lots of time around kids in childcare settings and also in teaching settings. As a side hobby, I also teach dance classes for adults and children. I love teaching dance classes and getting to work with people of all ages! I’m also a huge animal lover and have 2 beautiful cats of my own! Whether it’s kids, cats, or adults, I find it most important to meet you where you’re at so we can really work together.

Christine Brooklyn
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Christine. I’m a 24-year-old childcare professional with a passion for nurturing and supporting children through every stage of development. I’m currently relocating from Denver to New York, and I’m excited to bring my experience and love for caregiving to a new family in the city! I grew up in Atlanta, where I began babysitting at 13 and discovered my lifelong dedication to working with children. I later became a certified nursing assistant and worked in the ICU at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where I cared for medically fragile infants and children—an experience that strengthened my ability to stay calm, compassionate, and attentive in high-pressure situations. More recently, I spent a year teaching in the infant and 2-year-old rooms at Primrose Schools. I also nannied full-time for two children in a nanny share, from the time they were 3 months old until they turned 14 months. I love engaging little ones with age-appropriate activities that support emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I bring warmth, responsibility, and a proactive attitude to every caregiving role. I'm looking forward to finding a family where I can build a strong, trusting relationship and become a helpful and loving part of your daily life!

Booked by 1 family in Jamaica, NY

Hi! I'm Emma. My journey into caregiving started with babysitting my twin sisters—and I haven’t looked back since! Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for kids of all ages, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. I’m hands-on and love getting kids involved in creative activities, learning games, and anything that sparks their imagination. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing playtime, or just being a calm, steady presence, I bring patience and positivity to every job. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks like cooking, tidying up, and running errands. I also have experience caring for seniors and am comfortable offering companionship, preparing meals, and supporting daily routines. I’m also pet friendly!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
