Joan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Joan, an 18-year-old with experience caring for children of all ages. I am also a current college student at New York University. My experience mainly comes from babysitting my neighbor's kids! I bring creativity, patience, and a warm personality to every family I work with, making sure your little ones are engaged and safe. Whether it’s organizing fun activities, helping with homework, or preparing meals, I’m here to provide reliable and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I understand how important it is to create a trustworthy and positive environment for your children. I also love to cook and play the piano and would love to come cook healthy meals for you and your family. (Side note: huge animal lover :)) I mainly hope to find a family that I can be a long-term and reliable source of help for as I find that I do best in an environment where I feel close and comfortable with the family but I can also do well on a short notice! Let me help make your life a little easier!

Kylie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kylie — a West Village local with a heart for caregiving and a long history helping raise three godchildren here in NYC. After running my own successful marketing consultancy for over two decades, I’ve decided to start scaling down to spend more time doing what brings me the most joy: supporting children and families. While I may be older than some sitters (I’m 54), I bring a calm, mature presence, along with plenty of energy, patience, and humor. I'm deeply familiar with life in the city, from parks and playgrounds to navigating school schedules and routines. I love reading with kids, helping with creative projects, and just being a supportive, steady adult in their lives. I’m available for part-time help (5–10 hours a week) and happy to assist with regular care, fill-ins, date nights or preschool pick-ups and afternoon activities. I understand the trust you place in a caregiver — and would love to be a trusted person for your family.

"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)."
