Meaghan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Quinn (Meaghan is my legal name which you have to use to register). I'm a native New Yorker with over 10 years of experience working with children. I live in Brooklyn with my dog, Bagel. I've spent the last 2 years as a substitute teacher at 3 different schools & as an occasional babysitter. Previously, I worked as a Kindergarten teacher at Grace Church before ultimately deciding that, though I love working with kids, I did not want to pursue teaching as a career. I also spent 3 yrs at St. Luke's where I developed and taught my own afterschool classes. In my experience babysitting, I've worked for families with 1-3 kids, ages 1-13. I have extensive experience working with kids with learning disabilities/differences (autism, dyslexia, ADHD) as well as a range of different emotional/behavioral needs. Ideally looking for at least 20hrs/wk. I can guarantee a year's commitment, and likely would be able to stay on longer.

Glendys $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Glendys — I’m a first-year college student majoring in Nursing and Health Science. I’m passionate about working with kids and have always loved the energy and creativity they bring. Babysitting gives me the chance to connect with families, build relationships, and make each day fun and positive for the kids I care for. I’ve worked as a camp counselor for two years with children ages 4–12, and I also help care for my 5-year-old autistic sister, which has taught me patience, understanding, and adaptability. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and always make safety my top priority. I’d describe myself as fun, creative, and attentive — I love coming up with new activities, doing crafts, baking, and spending time outdoors. I know my way around the city, can drive (though I haven’t driven with kids yet), and I always aim to keep things organized and running smoothly. I’m currently based in NYC and looking forward to meeting new families in the area. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me — I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones!

I’m a Montclair student who loves tech, swimming, and dancing. I’ve spent over three years helping care for a younger family member, sometimes being in charge of meals, playtime, and daily routines.

I take pride in being trustworthy and hardworking, always willing to step in when needed. My hobbies include swimming and dancing, which keep me energetic and focused.

Sofia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sofia, a 24-year-old caregiver with several years of hands-on experience supporting children — especially toddlers and preschoolers — through developmental therapy, babysitting, and child-led learning. My background includes working with children in early intervention settings using D.I.R./Floortime approaches to support cognitive growth, sensory regulation, emotional expression, and motor planning. I’ve worked one-on-one in homes to help kids meet milestones, manage transitions, and navigate big emotions through connection and co-regulation. In addition to my therapy experience, I’ve provided consistent nanny and babysitting care for families with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m a strong believer in respectful, responsive caregiving, and I love creating environments where children feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Whether it’s building sensory bins, planning simple routines, or supporting nap time with calm consistency, I bring warmth and intention to my work. I’m also a great fit for families looking for someone reliable, grounded, and flexible. I currently work a hybrid part-time schedule which gives me flexibility Monday through Friday. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets, following Montessori-inspired or gentle parenting approaches, and being a calm presence during high-energy moments (tantrums don’t scare me!). Some quick facts: -I have my own reliable transportation and am punctual -I’m based in the Hudson/Bergen County area and open to nearby travel -I'm Bilingual (spanish speaking) -I love sensory play, nature walks, music, and simple creative activities -I’m open to long-term roles, part-time care, or summer-only positions Whether you're a parent looking for structured, engaging support during the week, or someone who needs reliable, developmentally-aware care for your little ones, I’d love to see if we’re a match. Thank you for considering me!

"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)."
