Hello Families ! My name is Jamaica. I am a dance teacher who's passion is working with children through their gifts and talents. However, I am always looking for opportunities to meeting and working with more children! I love working, teaching and playing with children. I have 8+ years experience working with children/students who have special disabilities and/or behavioral issues. As well as 10+ years in babysitting/Nannie’s. I enjoy dancing, stretching, doing yoga and coloring. I love to be active and keep my students moving through out the day. I plan on having my own dance school for children and adults in the near future. Hope to see you all there one day! Best, Jamaica S.

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!

$25 per hour for 1 child

I believe childhood should be filled with laughter, learning and love. I consider myself patient, loving and reliable. For the past two years, I have been a full-time nanny to a wonderful little one, starting when he was 6 months, which it’s been a wonderful experience, that taught me so much about infant care. I’m a certified preschool teacher in my home country, which has given me knowledge and strong skills in early childhood development. As a plus, Spanish is my first language and I truly enjoy introducing children to it through songs, books and playful activities. I’m CPR-certified caregiver.

Lis has been our nanny for several afternoons and evenings, and our son loves spending time with her. She has a special way of connecting with children, making every moment fun and entertaining. My husband and I always feel at ease knowing our son is in good hands. I don't know what I would do without Liss.

Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

I am an experienced caregiver with a calm, warm, and steady presence, and I bring a strong sense of organization and emotional awareness to every family I work with. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and personalities, and I’ve learned how to create routines that feel both structured and comforting. I focus on helping kids feel safe, understood, and confident in their own independence, while keeping the day flowing with ease and intention. My style is gentle but grounded. I stay fully present, I communicate clearly, and I adapt quickly to the rhythm of each household. I love creating moments of connection — reading together, exploring outside, building imaginative play — while also supporting the practical side of daily life. I’m comfortable managing schedules, preparing simple meals, organizing spaces, helping with homework, and keeping the home environment calm and functional. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and emotionally intuitive. I bring a sense of stability, kindness, and maturity that helps children relax and parents feel supported. Whether the day calls for creativity, structure, or quiet reassurance, I show up with consistency, patience, and genuine care. My goal is always to make the home feel lighter, smoother, and filled with a sense of trust.

Gabi is the sweetest, kindest and most patient person ever! My daughter and I absolutely love her. As a single parent, there are not many people who I trust to take care of my daughter, but Gabi is one of the few. She’s caring, responsible, always on time and flexible. 100% recommend her!

"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)."
