Jordan $21 per hour for 1 child

I’ve worked with kids since middle school, starting by babysitting my little sister and tutoring peers, which sparked my love for helping children learn and grow. By 8th grade, I was an assistant teacher at Hebrew school and babysat my Rabbi’s daughter. In high school, I became a YMCA lifeguard (CPR certified) and taught swim lessons at summer camp. Throughout college, I spent four years as a certified tutor at the Boys & Girls Club, helping kids from 1st through 12th grade with reading, writing, math, and study skills. I graduated from Tufts University, where I studied Psychology and Economics, and have an intermediate level of Spanish. I love working with kids—watching their imagination develop, fostering their curiosity, and helping them learn. I also grew up with seven dogs, so I’m very comfortable with pets and happy to help with them too.

Ally $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Ally and I am a Junior at the University of Michigan studying Psychology and Communications! I will be in the City all summer working on a part-time hybrid fashion marketing internship and would love to babysit in my free time. I am upbeat, creative, and flexible. I have experience babysitting for a variety of families and ages at school, but most often work with toddlers and school aged children. I also worked at the YMCA day camps and childcare centers so have First Aid, AED, and CPR certification. Throughout high school I was a CIT at Metropark camps focused in paddling and nature preservation. I have a dog back home and have spent time both dog and cat sitting, making me comfortable with pet care. In my free time I love tennis, pilates, sewing, and spending time with friends and family.

Sara 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sara, I'm 33 years old, and I have 18 years of childcare experience, with 8 years as a dedicated career nanny. My passion is supporting children and families, and I've studied Elementary Education and Psychology at UNC Charlotte. My experience includes working with children from two weeks old to school age, and I specialize in infant care, sleep training, and milestone development. I am also skilled in homework help and activity planning, such as museum visits, music, and science projects. I am a detail-oriented, intuitive, and emotionally attuned nanny who thrives in homes that need a proactive and communicative presence. I offer family assistance services in addition to childcare, including meal preparation, scheduling, home organization, and travel support. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I assisted a family with five children with virtual schooling, managing their schedules, technology, and classroom participation. I also provided homework and school project assistance to support their academics. I enjoy traveling and have had the opportunity to travel both domestically and internationally with families. One memorable experience was accompanying a family with four children, ages 2-8, to Milan, Italy, where I provided childcare, assisted with homeschooling, and helped the family adjust to life abroad. I also have experience providing extended overnight care, for up to two weeks at a time. I am passionate about emotional well-being and believe in open and honest communication. My goal is to help your family function at its best, and I enjoy coming alongside families who need an extra set of hands to build strong relational bonds with their children. I am independent, organized, and have developed a sense of anticipating needs. I look forward to the opportunity to help improve your family's daily life.

Sara is the most maternal and thoughtful caregiver. She has perfect instincts and is always advocating for the best for children. She is a great communicator and will respectfully work with parents to raise their children. She is very experienced and is able to take care of newborns to teenagers. I highly recommend her for all types of childcare.

Booked by 5 families in New York, NY

Hi! My name is Gabrielle, and I’ve been babysitting for 10+ years. I’m new to this app but I’m currently looking for families who may need a nighttime sitter, especially for weekends, date nights, events, or occasional help. I have experience with children of all ages and genuinely love being around kids. I always try to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel at ease. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I know how important it is to make sure kids are happy, engaged, and well cared for. I graduated from Columbia University and I am now staying to receive my Doctoral Degree from the medical school. I’m also very comfortable with all kinds of animals, so I’m happy to help in homes with pets too. I’d love the opportunity to help your family however I can!

"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)."
