Anna New York
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna — I’m 23, originally from Ireland, and currently based in New York. I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages and I genuinely love creating a calm, fun, and safe environment for them. I’m very hands-on and enjoy planning age-appropriate activities like arts & crafts, drawing, puzzles, board games, reading, and outdoor play. I’m responsible, punctual, and very comfortable following routines, bedtime schedules, and house rules. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Management, and through my work experience I’ve developed strong communication skills, reliability, and a high level of professionalism — all things I bring into childcare as well. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as warm, trustworthy, and attentive. I’m happy to help with light tidying related to the kids, meal prep, homework support, or pet care if needed. I’m currently available for occasional, part-time, or full-time roles and would love to connect with a family looking for someone dependable and kind.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Meg! I’m a outdoorsy, kind, & dependable babysitter and current grad student based in Brooklyn with my own car. I have been in childcare for as long as I can remember — I earned my first Red Cross certification in 5th grade and have since worked in a variety of childcare capacities. Growing up in Colorado gave me a deeply rooted appreciation for spending time outdoors, and I enjoy planning active adventures and exploring parks whenever possible. I enjoy volunteering in NYC for Girls on the Run and Achilles Kids. As a summer camp counselor for the Snowmass Club, I supervised groups of 15-30 campers between the ages of 5 and 12. I led weekly outdoor recreation trips ranging from local hikes to river rafting, prioritizing children's safety throughout. For 4 years, I volunteered for a peer mentorship program as a “Big Buddy” for elementary and middle school students. Building one-on-one relationships refined my ability to connect with children of different ages and personalities. During the pandemic, I supported several families in a tutor role, helping elementary students remain engaged with remote learning while preparing lunch and planning craft projects.

Megan worked as one of my top camp counselors and had a magic way with the kiddos. The camp was ages 5-12 and she could mesh with anybody! Quick on her toes and the most caring counselor we had.

Mickael Brooklyn
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello to all! I am a rising Junior at Columbia University studying philosophy looking to babysit. I have worked babysitting jobs before back home in DC for parents of my school. Throughout those experiences, I've always appreciated the connection I was able to form with the kids as I watched them progress and grow. I have also worked as a soccer coach for refugee children through a program offered at my high school. Through this experience I was able to better understand how to lead groups of kids for physical activity while also making sure they are just having fun. Furthermore, I come from an international background and can speak three languages (English, French, and German) and really enjoy imparting some linguistic knowledge on the kids who are willing to learn. In doing this job, it is my goal to be someone the kid can laugh with, learn with, and play games with as I take the weight of having children off your shoulders for hours at a time.

Allison New York
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi — my name is Allison and I'm currently a senior in college! I am offering childcare and household errands. I have been babysitting/nannying since I was 13. I started nannying during the week while in college and was with my previous family for two years before I relocated to the city. As a kid, my family always joked that I was a baby carrying around babies — if I didn't have a babydoll on my hip it was because I had one of my little cousins there instead. I am big on arts & crafts and pretty much any creative pursuit! I have slight allergies to both dogs and cats — I'm okay if they're in the home, just let me know beforehand and I can take an allergy pill!

"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)."
