my name Frances I’m a college student.i Have a variety of experience. I am open minded and I am able to work under circumstances. You are someone who shows determination even when life becomes complicated. You ask questions, look for answers, and try to understand situations from different angles rather than simply ignoring them.

You value honesty and loyalty in your relationships, which is why trust and communication matter so much to you.

Even when you feel frustrated or uncertain, you continue looking for solutions instead of giving up. Overall, i come across as resilient.

Avital $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in New York, NY

I’ve been involved with child care and educational extracurriculars since high school, from camp counseling to coaching robotics. I’m currently studying Interactive Media Arts at NYU, with additional coursework in Studio Art, Journalism, and Computer Science, blending my love for inquiry, storytelling, and media arts. Along the way, I’ve tutored math and am comfortable adding language arts, science, and history subjects to my repertoire. When I babysit, my goal is to ensure children have fun in immersing experience. This builds everyday learning--whether through imaginative play or tackling a skill they thought was out of reach. I love art projects and hands-on activities, and I’ve even got some colorful materials ready for crafting adventures! Plus, I’m always up for getting on the floor to explore toys and trinkets with as much enthusiasm as they do. I’m also a pet lover, comfortable with cats and a proud dog mom to a Chihuahua mix. Whether it’s an afternoon of creativity or helping with homework, I strive to create a positive, engaging experience for every child I work with.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in New York, NY

Hi! My name is Marleshka, but you can call me Marly. I am a current senior at the University of Vermont, and I am studying Psychological Science and minoring in Japanese. I graduate in May 2026. I am fluent and native in Spanish. Once I graduate, I hope to pursue a master's in social work to become an LCSW and work with those in underserved communities and with mental illness, particularly children. I have mentored for the DREAM program since October 2022, organizing activities and looking after children aged 3-18 with peers. I volunteer at least 3 hrs/week. I have also volunteered in a Head Start preschool and assisted teachers with children aged 5 and younger. This was from September 2023 to December 2023. I currently hold an American Heart Association BLS Certification valid until April 2027. This includes adult and child/infant CPR< first aid, and Naloxone training. I have received study skills training at my university to tutor others, and I had regular tutees this past semester. I love to teach children and do so in a way that works best for them. In my free time, I love to crochet, volunteer, listen to music, and bake sweets! I can't wait to work with you!

Jayleen $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Jayleen! I am offering child care services at this time. I have been a nanny for about 5 years but have been babysitting since I was 16 and have worked with children from 4 months to 10 years old. Some of my responsibilities have included, tutoring, light chores, meal prepping, bedtime, arts and crafts, school drop off and pickup and much more. I have also worked in a children's hospital and school and feel that with my experience with children, I am the right fit for any household.

"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)."
