Mama Rokia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rokia! I am 19 years old and an upcoming junior in college studying Public Health to become a midwife! My previous babysitting roles solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives and to support families in any way I can. I have 5 years of experience caring for children, I offer a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I care for a wide range of age groups starting from infants to school-age. I am comfortable caring for up to three children and enjoy engaging them with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am comfortable doing overnights, occasional babysitting for date nights, lending extra hand if you need to get work done, or if you just need some solo time! Feel free to message with any inquiries!

Ashleigh $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi y’all! My name is Ashleigh, and I offer babysitting and pet sitting services as well as household assistance. I moved to NYC three years ago from Texas. During my time in Texas, I worked part time at Bright Horizons across all ages. As part of this experience, I had to get CPR certified. However, it is worth noting that I have not renewed this certification post this role. Since my move to NYC, I volunteer in “Kids” at my church where I watch ages 1-5 during service. I love babysitting and have been a part-time babysitter since I was 16 years old. I am also a household assistant and petsitter. I can help cook, clean and run errands as needed. Additionally, I have had a furry family member (Maltese) for 14 years as well as pet sit for 3 years during my time in New York. The three closest people in my life would describe me as responsible, communicative, patient and fun.

Hi! I’m Isabel, 24, bilingual (Spanish/English), and based in Chelsea. I’ve been babysitting on and off since middle school and have experience caring for children of different ages. I currently work as a salon assistant, where I interact with families regularly and am used to staying organized and attentive. I enjoy crafts, drawing, outdoor walks, and planning simple activities that keep kids engaged. I’m comfortable helping with homework, bedtime routines, meals/snacks, and light tidying.

Taylor $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, My name is Taylor and I have first hand experience taking care of children, newborns, and teens. I have 2 children myself and that has given me a very deep understanding of how important it is to find reliable and trustworthy caregivers for your children. I am able and would love to provide an attentive and calm environment ensuring they stay active and engaged, whether it's through creative play or educational activities. I thrive off routine and usually children do well with that also. I'm able to take initiative and provide a stable environment whether it's for date nights, early work mornings or a good self care day. :) Talk to you soon!

"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)."
