Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophia :) I am originally from Orange County, CA and graduated in 2022 from UCLA. I recently moved to NYC and work in finance. I work 11-7 (since my team is on the west coast) so am available for childcare any day in the mornings or evenings! I have a huge family with lots of baby cousins and have been babysitting and tutoring since I was in high school. I am extremely organized and clean and will love any activities your child wants to participate in.

Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hi - I'm Lila and I'm a born and raised New Yorker spending my summer in the city before starting at University of St. Andrews in Scotland in September. I'm offering part-time child and/or pet care, along with light housekeeping. I love kids and have previous experience babysitting ages 3-9 years old. I grew up attending a local private school, and I'm experienced with the after-school pick-up and lesson commute! I like doing creative activities with kids - playing, reading, dancing, and arts & crafts. (When working as a docent in a museum I worked with kids and created a museum scavenger hunt!). I'm also a cat lover and owner with significant feline experience. I can also work with families with dogs.

Lila is very knowledgeable about cat and we have great first impression about her.

Abigail $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello. My name is Abigail (abby) and I am a pre- school teacher working primarily with 3 year-olds. I enjoy my job and getting to educate while having fun with my beautiful students. Prior to this I have worked in day care centers so I have 2 years worth of experience assisting and providing essential care for children. Helping children with basic skill needs of any age is what I do best because I love seeing the transition/transformation as they grow up into little toddlers and exploring different opportunities. I am currently in school (full- time) online pursuing my Master’s degree in teaching special education and elementary. My goal is to ensure and provide children/students the best opportunity through consistency and engagement. Thank you.

Alex $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Alex! I'm a passionate, empathetic, and creative student. I've worked with my family and those in my neighborhood, along with working with younger children through school mentor programs. One thing you should know about me is that I always put one hundred percent into anything I do. When I do something, I don't like to do the minimum. In childcare, along with everything else, I bring my best self and effort to the table. I am always determined to make a good impression and go above and beyond in every aspect. I care deeply, and my passion drives me to always put my best foot forward. Whatever you are looking for, I will always come to a job the same way I approach all my other passions: with care, drive, and a commitment to excellence. My skills include meal prep and cooking for children, helping with homework or schoolwork, and providing quality activities and entertainment, including play, crafts, story time, and more.

"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)."
