$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kylie :) I am currently a junior college student majoring in Musical Theatre! Over the summer I am a camp counselor in NYC for ages 4-18, so not only am I used to keeping kids entertained from 9-5, but I also have to be extremely organized and stern when I need to be. I have been babysitting regularly since I was 15. Since moving to the city, I have babysat for 2 families consistently. My responsibilities have included: picking up/dropping off to/from school or after school activities, running errands, cleaning, pet sitting, putting kids to bed, cooking... I am responsible, enthusiastic, timely, and fun! I love babysitting and would be honored to meet you and your family!

$30 per hour for 1 child

I am proud to say that I have dedicated most of my young adult life to working with children. From the age of 16, I have coached kids ages 4 to 15 in the game of golf and provided therapy in a clinical setting for kids ages 4+. Currently, I am a Master's student at Columbia University studying psychology with plans to become a doctor. My goal is to continue working with children who have been victims of intrastate and global conflict. My passion for working with kids is everlasting and I am dedicated to creating a safe and fun place for them to explore their creativity. I would characterize myself as curious, empathetic, resilient, determined, adaptive, and a strong communicator. I am excited about the opportunity to take care of your children and understand the immense responsibility that comes with the task. I am open to any questions you may have about my character and abilities. Thank you!

Booked by 2 families in New York, NY

Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, and nurturing sitter who genuinely enjoys being around kids and animals. Growing up as the third of nine siblings, I’ve always been surrounded by children and learned early how to keep little ones safe, entertained, and on routine. I’m comfortable helping with homework, bedtime routines, and creating fun, calm activities instead of just screen time. I also have experience caring for pets, including dog sitting, so furry family members are always welcome too! I have open availability and can often accept last minute bookings. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while making sure your child feels happy, safe, 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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
