Meredith $20 per hour for 1 child

I've worked as a Middle School tutor since I was in high school up until college. I worked briefly at an elementary school for 3 months. I'm the oldest sister of my family, so in general, I'm alright with kids. I served as a Cat volunteer at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in New York for a summer. Overall, I prefer to work with cats, but I'm ok with other animals (with care instructions, I can pick things up quickly).

Jules $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Jules, a warm, dependable, and highly responsible caregiver who genuinely enjoys creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment for others. I have over eight years of babysitting and nannying experience caring for children from newborns to middle schoolers, along with four summers of experience as a head camp counselor for children ages 2–5. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and naturally nurturing, with a strong sense of responsibility and professionalism. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with what matters most to you is a big decision, and I take that trust seriously. I’m someone you can count on to communicate clearly, follow your family’s routines and expectations, and approach every responsibility with care and enthusiasm. I’m also energetic, adaptable, and creative, and I love making everyday activities engaging and enjoyable. My goal is for both children and parents to feel comfortable, respected, and confident in my care. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can genuinely rely on!

"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)."
