Brooklynn $10 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Brooklynn, a freshman at NYU Tisch. I've been working with kids for 1-2 years now, but I've been taking care of my baby cousins since I was in middle school. I love music, watching movies, reading, cooking, and baking! I am willing to do whatever house care and cooking you need, but running errands might be a little tricky for me to do. I also have 3 dogs at home and am very familiar with their care! If you have any other animals, I am willing to do my research beforehand. The one animal I cannot be around is a guinea pig because I am allergic.

Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’m an experienced caregiver and recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. I currently work full time as an Operations Specialist at a high school, where I support over 500 students and help manage the day to day systems that keep the school running smoothly. Alongside my professional role, I babysit part time because childcare has always been something I genuinely love and feel passionate about. I have years of hands on experience caring for children of all ages, including babysitting for family, friends, and private clients. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged with creative play, organizing fun and enriching activities, helping with homework, or maintaining structured routines, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids feel supported and comfortable. I’m First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, so safety is always a top priority in my care. Additionally, I’m bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese and am happy to communicate in whichever language best supports your family’s needs. Beyond childcare, I also have experience with pet care, so if you have furry family members, they’ll be well looked after too! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, exploring community events, and playing chess. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Valentina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Valentina. I’m a 22-year-old college student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where I study Advertising and Marketing Communications. I currently live in NYC and am looking for babysitting opportunities with families in the area. I have experience working with children as a babysitter and former camp counselor, caring for kids ages 3–10. I also taught Spanish to elementary school students (grades 1–5) as part of my high school Spanish Language and Global Citizen program, where I created and led engaging, interactive lesson plans in a classroom setting. I really enjoy working with children and bringing a balance of structure, creativity, and fun into their day. I’m comfortable helping with homework, light cooking, errands, and general household support. Outside of childcare, I’m a very active and creative person. I’m a former soccer player and love outdoor activities, sports, and staying active with kids. I also enjoy creative activities like art, painting, film, theatre, and storytelling. I’m open to working with children of different personalities and energy levels, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged.

"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)."
