Meitav $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Meitav and I have been working in child care for over 13 years! What started out as being a mother's helper to people in my community when I was 12 slowly graduated to nanny and babysitting gigs that I've done with families with various ages and needs up until today. I was a preschool teacher for 3 years for ages 4 and 5 and worked for 4 years as an after school teacher to K-1 students. I also worked as a Hebrew and English tutor for 3 years to kids ranging from kindergarten to 7th grade. I have worked with ages 5 months to 13 years old. I have experience working with kids with special needs and in houses with food allergies and kashrut laws. I can cook, bake, and clean, and while I do not have a car, I am comfortable transporting kids via the MTA! I studied painting in college and specialize in creating fun and engaging activities for kids of all ages that include the arts and other creative forms of expression. Please reach out!

Azalea $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Azalea and here is a little bit about me :) I started working with kids when a family friend needed a babysitter, but even earlier in life I've always taken care of my younger cousins. I have babysat children from 1. 5 years of age to 11 years old, and have worked with children from 4 months of age to children in the 8th grade. I have experience with homework help, cleaning, changing diapers, playtime, meals, and putting the kids to bed. I have no problem staying overnight, and I am very pet friendly. I currently work at a school during the day as a teachers assistant. I am in school to be an educator. I treat all children with respect, and believe in following all boundaries of the child, so long as it puts no one or nothing in danger. I have my drivers license, and am also very versed in public transportation. I love taking kids out to the park or out for food as long as the parents are okay with it. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have :)

Mary $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

I have experience providing dependable, compassionate care for children, pets, and homes. I’ve babysat privately for families and volunteered at my local church’s nursery and toddler center, often filling in when extra help was needed. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. In addition, I’ve house sat, provided light cleaning services, and cared for both dogs and cats. I take pride in being responsible, organized, and respectful of families’ routines and homes, and I always aim to create a safe, positive environment.

Jasmine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Jasmine and I am a 23 years old post grad student in nyc. I am offering child care, petcare, senior care, and household services. I am the second oldest of five siblings, so caregiving has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My siblings range from age 7 to 18 (with a 29 year old older sister who also has a 7-year-old child), and I’ve been a trusted family babysitter and support system across many ages and stages. Beyond family care, I’ve worked as an after-school support teacher for grades 1–3, helping with homework, routines, and emotional regulation. I also spent over a year as a personal assistant to a dermatologist, where I helped care for her 3-year-old and supported her family after the arrival of a newborn this past spring. I’m calm, attentive, organized, and very comfortable balancing multiple needs at once. I’m a Washington, DC native and earned my bachelor’s degree from Boston University. I’m bilingual in Spanish and English, love cooking nutritious, kid-friendly whole foods, and genuinely enjoy creating warm, structured environments where children feel safe and supported. I’m currently taking a break from office work to be more present, hands-on, and connected in my roles caring for people is what energizes me. I also have extensive experience caring for pets and animals for extended periods and am happy to help with any furry (or not-so-furry) family members as well. Long-term, I hope to become a teacher or professor, and I bring that patience, curiosity, and care into everything I do. Please let me know if I can send you my profile for trusted house sitter and taskr tp learn more about me.

"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)."
