Jamila $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Jamila or “ Mila” for short. I was born in Washington DC but grew up overseas in five different countries until I was 14. I speak conversational Spanish. I am a certified yoga teacher and regular meditator. I believe that life is experiential and the world is our classroom. I have over ten years of experience with children ranging from ages 0-16 years of age. I really enjoyed working babies and toddlers and would say that is my specialty. I have a range of experience that include: but is not limited to: daycare/school pickup/drop off, tutoring, baking, cooking, arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor activities, dog walking, pet care, successful potty training. I have my own safe and reliable car and a clean driving record I am seeking a family that I can work with on a consistent schedule and be able to develop a genuine bond with their child/children. Open to negotiate monthly/weekly rates on case by case basis. References can be provided upon request.

Mickael $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello to all! I am a rising Junior at Columbia University studying philosophy looking to babysit. I have worked babysitting jobs before back home in DC for parents of my school. Throughout those experiences, I've always appreciated the connection I was able to form with the kids as I watched them progress and grow. I have also worked as a soccer coach for refugee children through a program offered at my high school. Through this experience I was able to better understand how to lead groups of kids for physical activity while also making sure they are just having fun. Furthermore, I come from an international background and can speak three languages (English, French, and German) and really enjoy imparting some linguistic knowledge on the kids who are willing to learn. In doing this job, it is my goal to be someone the kid can laugh with, learn with, and play games with as I take the weight of having children off your shoulders for hours at a time.

Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi families! My name is Chantal and I’m a childcare provider based in NYC for 4 years with 6 years total of hands-on childcare experience. I am currently studying Childhood Education and have a strong background in child development! For the past 4 years, I worked closely with one long-term family, helping care for their child as they grew. As they’ve gotten older and no longer require care, I’m excited to connect with new families here on UrbanSitter! Throughout those years, I also worked consistently with several other wonderful families on an occasional basis, building strong relationships along the way! :) I genuinely enjoy creating a fun environment for kids, and arts & crafts are definitely one of my favorite go-to activities! While I’m new to UrbanSitter, childcare is absolutely not new to me! My profile may still be growing, but I’m happy to provide excellent references and recommendations from the amazing families I’ve worked with upon request. I look forward to meeting your family!

"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."

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)."
