Megan 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Meg! I’m a outdoorsy, kind, & dependable babysitter and current grad student based in Brooklyn with my own car. I have been in childcare for as long as I can remember — I earned my first Red Cross certification in 5th grade and have since worked in a variety of childcare capacities. Growing up in Colorado gave me a deeply rooted appreciation for spending time outdoors, and I enjoy planning active adventures and exploring parks whenever possible. I enjoy volunteering in NYC for Girls on the Run and Achilles Kids. As a summer camp counselor for the Snowmass Club, I supervised groups of 15-30 campers between the ages of 5 and 12. I led weekly outdoor recreation trips ranging from local hikes to river rafting, prioritizing children's safety throughout. For 4 years, I volunteered for a peer mentorship program as a “Big Buddy” for elementary and middle school students. Building one-on-one relationships refined my ability to connect with children of different ages and personalities. During the pandemic, I supported several families in a tutor role, helping elementary students remain engaged with remote learning while preparing lunch and planning craft projects.

“Megan worked as one of my top camp counselors and had a magic way with the kiddos. The camp was ages 5-12 and she could mesh with anybody! Quick on her toes and the most caring counselor we had.”

Devan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Devan, and I am an MFA candidate at Bard College. I have experience with social work, childcare, and retail management. I am a queer trans Latina and the primary caretaker of my seventy-year-old mother. I have three nieces and a nephew and grew up as the designated babysitter in my family. I transitioned in high school in a small town in Tennessee, and feel I can offer creative mentorship, support, and friendship to queer children. As I'm enrolled in a low-residency graduate program, I am unavailable in June and July. Thank you for your consideration!

Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi, my name is Pearl, new to UrbanSitter I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and genuinely love spending time with kids! I’m a patient, caring, and energetic caregiver who enjoys making kids feel comfortable while keeping them engaged and having fun. I love baking and cooking with kids, helping with homework, doing arts and crafts, and simply spending quality time together. I’m especially great with elementary-aged children and love helping them learn (elementary math is my specialty—algebra is another story 😂). I also practice yoga and enjoy staying active, so I’d love to keep athletic kids moving, whether that’s stretching before or after practice, going outside, or doing fun activities together. I’m responsible, attentive, and always want kids to feel safe, happy, and cared for.

"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)."
