Hello! My name is Zoe, and love working with kids!My first experience working with kids, was when I went to Nepal in my junior year of high school. There, I taught students photography with my fellow classmates, while also rebuilding their school after an earthquake had hit it. I have also tutored a 1st grader in Phonics, when I was in my senior year of high school. I am looking for a steady job doing something that I love. The joy I have when I am helping and taking care of kids is unmatched. I have my CPR/AED and First Aid Infant/Child/Adult Certification. I have nannied for a few families over the years, and would be happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to hearing from you. -Zoe

Booked by 3 families in Richmond Hill, NY

Hi! My name is Isis, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones. My goal is to become more than just an occasional babysitter—I strive to be someone your family can rely on for planned care, date nights, last-minute emergencies, and everything in between. I have experience working at Tiny Toes Learning Center in Mount Pocono and Little Buds in Fort Greene, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for children in structured, nurturing environments. My responsibilities have included supervising groups of children, leading engaging activities, reading with them, encouraging outdoor play, and creating a fun, safe atmosphere until pickup. I’m experienced in maintaining daily routines, including preparing meals and snacks, supporting nap and bedtime routines, assisting with potty training, helping with homework, and keeping children engaged through age-appropriate activities rather than relying on screens. I love planning creative activities, reading stories, exploring parks, and, with parent approval, taking children on enriching outings like museums and other educational adventures. You can count on me to be dependable, patient, and communicative. I understand the trust it takes to leave your child with someone, so I prioritize safety, consistency, and open communication, keeping you updated throughout my time with your little ones

Amelie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Amelie and I am originally from Boston, now living in NYC as a freshman at the Fashion Institute of Technology. For five years I worked as a sewing instructor at a sewing studio, teaching children from ages 4-15. I adore getting to know each kid and the variety of personalities that come with it. Teaching sewing has allowed me to help children develop confidence, focus, and self-expression through hands-on, engaging projects. I love guiding young learners through the process of turning ideas into something they can be proud of and seeing how they blossom creativity. Alongside that, I’ve spent several years providing babysitting and part-time care for children of various ages and needs. This has taught me how to adapt quickly, communicate clearly with both children and parents, and create a safe, supportive environment. My experience also includes working with children who have disabilities, which has deepened my understanding of how to personalize care and instruction with empathy and patience. I had dogs all through my childhood and have experience in pet sitting. I love all animals! I can clean, bake, and do basic cooking.

"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)."
