Stella New York
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am Stella, a Brooklyn-based (am happy to commute around the city) caregiver and recent college graduate with over 8 years of experience, primarily working with children ages 2-12. I’m an extremely patient and compassionate babysitter, who values communication with both kids and parents. I have experience with children experiencing neurodivergence and de-escalating big emotions with care, understanding, and speaking to children as equals. I prioritize safety/health, trust-building, and emotional well-being; minimizing screen-time and favoring outdoor activities, indulging in our imagination, art-making, learning, and hands-on activities. I’m an artist who loves dance, crafting, reading & writing, nature walks, and grounding exercises to calm down after a long day. I walk or take public transportation, am learning Italian and Spanish, and am extremely happy to cook healthy meals, clean, run errands, commute to various activities, and care for dogs and cats. I bring warmth, curiosity, joy, and love to every home I work with. I would love to chat and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

Samuel New York
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Sam! I love working with children of all ages but have the most experience with kids 3-12. I’m originally from the Pacific Northwest but moved to New York to explore job options in childcare, fashion, public relations, and the arts. I learned more about how much care, time, and attention children require after caring for a 2 and 5 year old for three years. In high school, I was a camp counselor for my school’s outdoor program and a swim instructor for children aged 3-8. I also consistently volunteered at kids basketball games, book fairs, field trips, and art classes. Post high school, I studied marketing for two years at Walla Walla Community College. I then completed the AmeriCorps NCCC program, where I traveled with a team to Texas and Colorado to assist communities in need with long term disaster recovery, mold remediation, environmental conservation, and more. One of the main reasons I love working with children is their innate love for exploration, creativity, and learning: just like myself! I believe that children need a strong, safe, and trustworthy support system to thrive and I will provide all of those qualities. I love to paint, sing, dance, read, write, craft, spend time in nature, and explore new places- all of which are traits that I directly apply when working with children. Through AmeriCorps, I was given the chance to volunteer weekly at a boys and girls clubs and that was my favorite volunteer opportunity by far. I helped the kids move through their activities, identify various emotions, set boundaries with peers by saying “stop!” or “i do not like that!”, and focusing on creating a safe space for them to feel heard, understood, and regulated. In addition to childcare, I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, beta fish, bunnies, and geckos (my family had a lot of pets!). Additionally, having worked several customer service jobs and maintained the cleanliness of spaces throughout the years, I am highly experienced in housekeeping services and running errands.

Trinity New York
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! - My name is Trinity, and I am an actor/ performer here in New York, coming from a background of musical theatre and comedy with a touch of writing on the side. I have a heavy performance background in a variety of arts such as singing, dancing, and acting. I've been a student of the craft for the majority of my school and business life. I love performing, and I love the flexibility that comes with being an actor. I’ve spent lots of time around kids in childcare settings and also in teaching settings. As a side hobby, I also teach dance classes for adults and children. I love teaching dance classes and getting to work with people of all ages! I’m also a huge animal lover and have 2 beautiful cats of my own! Whether it’s kids, cats, or adults, I find it most important to meet you where you’re at so we can really work together.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
