Dardan $50 per hour for 1 child

I'm a patient, practical, and creative tutor eager to help. I'm a current masters student at Columbia University Teacher's College, NY DOE English Teacher, and tutor currently open to various kinds of work. Though I take my role as an educator seriously, I consider myself personable and want to help others find the joy in learning. I have experience working with students as young as 4 to college-level adults. Though I specialize in English, I have also taught music, mathematics, and physics, and I'm flexible with learning other subjects as well. If you are interested, I'm happy to speak with you over the phone and share more about myself, including my methods of assessment, schoolwork strategies, and pedagogical philosophy.

Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

Hi! I'm Anuradha! I offer dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting! I have grown up with my family dog, taking him for walks, feeding him and dog sitting. I absolutely love dogs and how sweet they are! I am careful, loyal, dependable and make sure that the dog gets enough exercise and fully completed their potty time before ending their walk.

Anuradha is a great petsitter - she was very professional, gave me updates with photos and vidoes of my dog during her sit, was able to handle the active behavior of my foster puppy, and was always prompt in replies. I would recommend Anuradha for anyone looking for a petsitter.

Hello there! My name is Nechama, and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a dedicated and compassionate babysitter ready to provide exceptional care for your little ones. I am currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Psychology.

With 5 of experience working with children of various ages, I've honed my skills in creating a safe and engaging environment. There's something incredibly rewarding about contributing to a child's growth and well-being. I believe in fostering a nurturing atmosphere that promotes curiosity, creativity, and kindness. I understand the importance of finding a caregiver who not only meets your practical needs but also forms a genuine connection with your family.

Catherine $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Catherine. I love working with children. I was a preschool teacher last year and really enjoyed working with that age group. My age range as a teacher was 6 months to 5 years old. I also worked at summer camps with children ages 6 to 15. I respect and care about children. I will listen to your child, play with them, and treat them like a good friend. I have my driver's license in case it's needed. I am also learning to roller skate if that is something your child is interested in! Happy to meet!

"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)."
