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

Hi! My name is Marielle and I am a theater artist and experienced educator who absolutely adores working with kids! I studied theater and writing at Brown University, and taught playwriting to youth in Ecuador on a Fulbright. I have extensive experience teaching kids creative writing and theater games, and I always have new creative (and safe!) game ideas up my sleeve that your kids will adore. I also teach US history part-time at a school in Bushwick, and am a history tour guide on the Lower East Side. I love to awaken kids’ curiosity for learning while babysitting, reading with them, and encouraging them to start creative projects that will stimulate their academic growth! I speak fluent Spanish and French, and I can contribute to your child’s learning in these areas. Safety is also my utmost priority, as well as checking in with parents to make sure the specific needs of your child are being honored. I have 5 years of experience teaching Special Olympics, and have worked as an executive functioning coach, so I am well-versed in adapting to different learning styles. Working with me as a babysitter is about keeping your kids safe, healthy, and more than just entertained. I aim for every session to be uplifting for children’s emotional growth, joyful, and educational!

Taylor $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, My name is Taylor and I have first hand experience taking care of children, newborns, and teens. I have 2 children myself and that has given me a very deep understanding of how important it is to find reliable and trustworthy caregivers for your children. I am able and would love to provide an attentive and calm environment ensuring they stay active and engaged, whether it's through creative play or educational activities. I thrive off routine and usually children do well with that also. I'm able to take initiative and provide a stable environment whether it's for date nights, early work mornings or a good self care day. :) Talk to you soon!

Benjamin $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Ben, a proud Brooklynite with Spanish roots and a deep passion for babysitting and tutoring. I’ve enjoyed working with children from ages 2 to 12 and tutoring students from 10 to 18, which has equipped me to handle a range of needs and interests. In October, I’ll be embarking on an exciting journey to study abroad in Spain, connecting with my heritage and exploring new experiences. Until then, I’m excited to offer my services to your family. I love cooking, so I can whip up tasty snacks and meals, and I’m always up for outdoor adventures, whether it’s playing games or discovering local parks. I’m also skilled in navigating both driving and public transit, ensuring that transportation is smooth and hassle-free. If you’re looking for a caring, energetic, and dedicated babysitter, I’d be thrilled to support your family!

Lilly $25 per hour for 1 child

As the oldest of five children, being a big sister is my greatest accomplishment in life and has shaped me into the woman I am today! I’ve always had a passion for working with children. I studied Human Development and Family Science, and received a B.S. from Syracuse University in 2021. My primary studies centered around better understanding family dynamics and child development, which lead to my senior year internship working with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America in Syracuse. I mentored roughly 15 children (ages 14-10) in an after school learning program and created artistic/ academic activities to support their social and emotional learning skills. It was one of the most moving experiences in my professional career! I’ve also worked as a camp counselor, and have had numerous part-time babysitting gigs over the years. Ever since I can remember, I loved taking care of my little siblings. I’d have such a fun time making up silly characters and playing pretend, building forts, doing arts & crafts, hanging outside, helping them with homework, etc. I am very comfortable working with young children, and would love the opportunity to help out with your family! I would be more than happy to further explain my experiences, and to provide references- please let me know if you have any questions!

"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)."
