Samantha 2 reviews
New York
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Sam! I’m 25 years old and have over six years experience in babysitting. I am the oldest of 3 girls and always looked after them growing up. I’ve also worked as an assistant summer camp counselor with second graders. I enjoy working with children and providing a safe and fun environment for them. I love crafts, playing games and inventing stories to keep children engaged without relying on screens.

I am writing this to recommend Samantha Sanchez as a babysitter. She has been an incredible help to my family and a truly wonderful caregiver to my son who is 2 years old. From the beginning, Samantha demonstrated a natural connection with kids. She is responsible, punctual, and always brings a positive, cheerful energy into our home. My son looked forward to spending time with her and felt safe and happy in her care. She is dependable and proactive, whether it’s organizing fun and educational activities, helping with meals, or keeping things tidy. I’ve never had any concerns about her work ethic or reliability. I would highly recommend Samantha for any babysitting or childcare position. I’m confident that she will provide the same level of excellent care for your family as she did for mine. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at [email protected] or 347-301-9760

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Rockaway Park, NY

Hello everyone! My name is Kamila and I have been living in NYC for a little over 6 years. I moved here after going to music school in Boston. I’m a singing songwriter and work within arts administration/operations. Since moving to the city, I have worked with children ages 3 to 11, and I’ve learned so much. I enjoy fostering a sense of creativity and playfulness in the kids I get to hang with, and I’ve also taught beginner piano lessons for families around NYC and Brooklyn. I also have been petsitting/housesitting for doggies and kitties on the east and west coasts of the US and abroad over the last 3-4 years. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your family :)

Without hesitation, if you are looking for someone to care for your child/children…look no further! Kamila’s kindhearted and creative sensibilities allow her to engage with children at their level while still ensuring structure when needed. Our 5 year old son always looked forward to having her care for him. Kamila would respond promptly to my texts/calls while caring for him and would also send pictures of their day together. Kamila was very accommodating in many ways, from last minute care requests, to caring for him in untraditional locations (like in a recreation complex), to even helping support our family while moving. She consistently arrived to work on time and never called out last minute. (In fact, I’m not sure she ever called out!) Even though we only had Kamila with our family for a few months before she moved, she quickly became a delightful addition to our family. She would be the same for you.....enjoy!

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I've worked in childcare for about nine years. I love watching kids and seeing them learn and grow every day. Kids have always brightened my day and remind me why I love working with them as much as I do. I worked for the YMCA at their aftercare program and summer program. My responsibilities for aftercare were making sure kids completed their homework, had fun activities planned and were safe. For the summer program, I was a music teacher and taught kids from 3-8 years old. I can cook, drive or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

Alexandra 3 reviews
New York
$33 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alex. I’m a postpartum doula with 15 years of experience and over a decade supporting families as a birth doula. For the past 4 years, I’ve worked exclusively in overnight newborn care helping parents get real rest while knowing their baby is still being cared for. I support families through every part of the night: from feedings, diaper changes to soothing and upholding family Standards of a healthy routine . I make sure bottles and baby items are clean and ready for the next day, and I step in wherever I’m needed so parents can wake up feeling refreshed.

Alexandra is a dedicated professional who shares a special connection with the children she cares for. As an exceptional babysitter, she takes the time to get to know each child, allowing her to tailor her caregiving approach to suit their individual needs and create a positive environment for everyone. She is experienced in caring for infant and is known for being reliable, punctual, and personable. Parents take great comfort in observing how well she interacts with their kids. These qualities contribute to her high number of referrals and callbacks, highlighting why she is a sought after babysitter.

"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."

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
