Mary Ellis New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 23-year-old recent NYU grad school graduate, originally from Alabama and a proud SMU alum. I just completed my Masters in Accounting and am pursuing a CPA license. I’m outgoing, friendly, and dependable, with a strong work ethic and a natural ability to connect with kids. I’ve been babysitting throughout my life and have experience with children of all ages! I love staying active and engaged— whether that’s going on walks, playing tennis, or doing Pilates—and I bring that same energy when caring for kids. I’m patient, organized, attentive, and always focused on creating a fun and safe environment. I’m currently based in NYC and have a full-time role starting in October, so I’m looking to support a family in the meantime. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to help both in and outside the home.

Montelius Union City
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Montelius and I’m from Silver City, New Mexico. I have a strong passion for working with children. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 17, including babysitting children ages 5–15, house sitting, and looking after family pets—including, at times, farm animals. Now at 21, I bring several years of hands-on experience and a deep commitment to creating a safe, engaging environment for every child I work with. In addition, I have three years of experience directing children’s theater, where I’ve worked with over 25 kids in drama camps and theater productions. This experience has helped me develop a unique ability to connect with children of all personalities—whether they’re shy, outgoing, or sometimes a bit challenging. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely interested in helping each child feel seen, heard, and supported. I love encouraging creativity, imagination, and self-expression. Music is a big part of my life, and I enjoy sharing that with kids in fun and engaging ways. I strive to create an environment where children feel excited to learn, play, and truly be themselves. I’m also happy to help with daily routines, tutoring, cooking healthy meals, cleaning, and safely walking or accompanying children wherever they need to go—whether that’s by foot, bus, or subway. Working with kids isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I take pride in providing a calm, positive presence while making sure children feel happy, supported, and inspired.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
