Vita $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

I’ve been babysitting for the past 12 years and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I worked as a certified lifeguard for 2 years and also gained early childhood experience working at a daycare during high school. Throughout high school and college, I was a full-time nanny for 7 years, building long-term relationships with families and helping support child development through play, routine, and educational activities. Since moving to New York City in 2021, I’ve continued babysitting and am now looking for more part-time opportunities. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids. I bring a calm, confident energy and always prioritize safety and fun.

georgia $25 per hour for 1 child

I have had 2 decades worth of experience working with all kinds of children. I have worked with children on the spectrum and other children with special needs. I work however many hours you need me for and however many years. My last nanny job I was with the family for 10 years and have created a strong bond with them even after employment. My minimum is 25 dollars an hour because i still have my own grandchildren to care for. I love all children and would love to care for them and work with you.

Reagan $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Reagan and I am from Michigan. I am a recent graduate of Marymount Manhattan College with a dual degree in BFA Musical Theatre and BA Playwriting. I have been working as a babysitter since I was fourteen years old, picking up shifts in my hometown for family friends. In NYC, I have worked at The Gaga Center, leading parties of 10-50 children, giving me plenty of experience with engaging large groups of children, supervising their safety, and keeping them on task. Since graduating, I have worked as an as-needed babysitter for a few families and am interested in taking on more jobs. Some of my hobbies include reading, bike riding, board games (I love Mancala), and cooking! I am passionate about participating in no-screen activities with kids and am happy to try something new!

"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)."
