Sophie 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, I'm Sophie!! I'm a lifelong nanny and babysitter living in NYC. I recently quit my office job and am in and out of the city over the next few months but looking for part time and one-off work while I'm here. I love spending time with children and can't wait to meet yours:) A little about me: For two years during a gap in my college journey I worked as a nanny for a newborn and preschooler. I was responsible for the daily care and safety of the baby boy from his very first days home. I gained countless hours of practical experience changing, bathing, feeding, sleep training, and entertaining. When needed, I transported his 3-year-old sister to and from school, and helped with household tasks including meal-planning, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and organization. Observing and facilitating both children's development over time was one of the greatest privileges of my life so far. I felt gratified every day knowing I was making a tangible difference in their lives, as well as aiding in the overall well-being of the family. I take child care very seriously and am always working to get better at my job. I'm interested in Early Childhood pedagogy and take great care in creating developmentally appropriate activities for the children I work with. In recent years, I’ve worked part time for various families with children ranging from 6 months to twelve years old and have at times been responsible for up to 4 children at a time. I'm a confident, warm, and responsible caregiver who genuinely loves spending time with children.

Sophie is this generation’s Mary Poppins. She cared for my three year old and my newborn for over a year and made the most magical impact you could imagine. Every day was a fun new activity that she dreamed up for my three year old, and for my newborn there was no one air rather have caring for him. She leads with so much love, and is consistent, clear, and immensely capable with children. She also is a fantastic cook and baker! I could write essays about how amazing Sophie is. I wish she had not moved to New York and I’m trying to get her to move to where I am now because that’s how incredible a human being she is.

Monica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Monica, I’m an ex Au Pair/nanny and I’m offering child care, pet care and household services. I’ve been a nanny in the states since 2019 but I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 17 years old in my home country Bolivia.(yeah I do speak Spanish too 😊). I have experience with kids from different ages, and my usual responsibilities were taking them to school, preparing breakfast, lunch,snacks, helping them with homework, taking them to after school activities or going to the park. In addition to that I can help with light house chores, cleaning or running errands.

Glory 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi - My name is Glory and I'm currently a graduate student at Columbia. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am happy to work with families with dogs.

I highly recommend Glory as a babysitter. She has worked with my family in the past and consistently demonstrated a high level of responsibility, warmth, and professionalism. Glory is incredibly attentive and patient with children. She is able to create a calm, engaging environment while also maintaining structure and safety. Whether it’s helping with routines, organizing activities, or simply being present and attentive, she brings a thoughtful and caring approach to everything she does. What stands out most is her reliability and communication. She is always punctual, responsive, and proactive in updating me, which gave me a strong sense of trust and peace of mind.

"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)."
