Rose $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rose and I'm currently a junior at Pace University. I am offering child care and pet care. I worked at an elementary school for 2 years as an aftercare counselor for groups of 5-9 year olds. My responsibilities have included managing class field trips, crafts, tutoring, and always ensuring safety. I also worked with a dog walking company in lower Manhattan this past summer, which included daily walks and sitting. I am happy to work with dogs and cats!

Tanisha $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, caring, and patient babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m attentive to children’s needs, reliable with schedules, and able to handle routines like meals, homework, bedtime, and light housekeeping. I also like keeping kids engaged with creative activities like games, reading, and crafts instead of just screen time. Parents can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and focused on their child’s well-being at all times.

Brandis $26 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate and dedicated caregiver with over a decade of experience in supportive leadership roles within residential services. My extensive background includes overseeing operations, supervising teams, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality care. I have honed exceptional skills in crisis intervention and training development, which allow me to create a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children. Additionally, I have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, understanding their unique needs and fostering their development through tailored approaches. In my role as a caregiver, I also excel in household management, as I am skilled in cooking and cleaning, ensuring a comfortable and organized space for the children I care for. Being bilingual in English and Spanish enables me to effectively communicate with families from diverse backgrounds, fostering strong and positive relationships. I am genuinely enthusiastic about the opportunity to take on a babysitting or nanny position, where I can leverage my extensive experience to create and maintain nurturing environments that support children's growth and development. My commitment to providing attentive and compassionate care will ensure a positive and enriching experience for both the children and their families.

Hello NYC Families! I’m a graduating nursing student currently looking for work as I prepare for my licensing exam. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter in Brooklyn for the past five years, and have over ten years of experience working in childcare and youth services. Before diving into nursing, I earned my first bachelor’s degree in sociology and dance, which gives me a unique, interdisciplinary perspective that I love to bring into my work. I’m passionate about education, dance, and play, and I’m excited about the possibility of connecting with your family! A little about me: - I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, where I spent most of my free time dancing or exploring the outdoors. - I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from 18 months to 18 years, including those with a wide range of abilities and behaviors. - I’ve created and led hands-on learning programs in everything from outdoor education and arts & crafts to cooking and dance/movement. - I spent three summers touring with Circus Smirkus, where I supported a troupe of 30 teen performers—an experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of creative expression. - I have a valid driver’s license and have driven to all my babysitting jobs around the city. - I’m CPR/BLS certified and trained in first aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m not working, you’ll find me dancing, biking, rock climbing, enjoying ocean sports, or making handmade cards for friends and family. I’d love to share my passions and experiences with your family, and I’d be honored to help out in any way I can. I truly believe in building open, honest relationships with families and kids, and I’m always eager to learn about each child’s unique personality and interests. Looking forward to connecting!

"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)."
