Maya $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Maya, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I was born in New York, grew up in California, and have been back in New York for the past seven years. I started babysitting in college and quickly realized how much I love helping kids learn, play, and grow. I come from a big family, so I’ve had lots of hands-on experience with little ones—including my 3-year-old brother and many younger cousins that I’ve proudly helped care for over the years. I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, and I always treat children with the same care and attention I would want for my own family. I’m a non-smoker, enjoy spending time outside, and love getting creative with arts and crafts. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or simply being a kind and reliable presence, I take pride in making every day positive for both kids and parents. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position and would be excited to become a trusted part of your family’s support system!

Amelie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve been babysitting since I was 12, and over the years I’ve cared for kids of all ages. Most of my jobs came to me through word of mouth and referrals from neighbors, family friends, and local families who trust me. I’ve also looked after pets (cats, dogs, snakes, and even fish!) and I’m comfortable juggling the moving parts of a busy household while keeping things calm and safe. I especially enjoy working with slightly older kids around 9 or 10, but I also do great with toddlers and younger children, making sure they’re engaged, cared for, and having fun. I completed a babysitting training course when I was younger where I earned my CPR certification and learned how to care for children safely and responsibly. I’m reliable, communicative, and open to overnights on occasion. Above all, I want families to feel like they can fully trust me, that their kids are not only safe but genuinely happy and comfortable in my care.

Andrea $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Andrea and I’m a lifeguard and a swim instructor at the YMCA. I’m certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I also have an extra certification in teaching kids with disabilities such as ADHD or autism. I’ve been a swim instructor at the ymca for about two years now and have taught kids of different ages and backgrounds. I understand how draining it can be to take care of kids, which is why I’d like to be of help to parents who are overworked or even might just need some time for self-care. I also have a lot of experience with pets and especially cats. I've done a lot of research about pet care on my own time since I own two cats who I greatly care for. I’m definitely open to feeding, walking, or playing with pets. They deserve just as much attention and time as kids! I can cook as well but I am more confident when it comes to vegan/vegetarian recipes. However, I’m open to learning any new kinds of recipes that are out of my comfort zone.

Catherine $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Catherine. I love working with children. I was a preschool teacher last year and really enjoyed working with that age group. My age range as a teacher was 6 months to 5 years old. I also worked at summer camps with children ages 6 to 15. I respect and care about children. I will listen to your child, play with them, and treat them like a good friend. I have my driver's license in case it's needed. I am also learning to roller skate if that is something your child is interested in! Happy to meet!

Chris $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello All, My name is Chris and my experience is vast when it comes to children and child's play. I've mastered the fine art of herding cats—also known as teaching at a Montessori school. There, I became a connoisseur of child-sized furniture and The Montessori techniques. Learning to listen to kids and teaching and meeting them where they are. When I'm not busy turning chaos into calm, you'll find me performing as a party performer at kids' parties, transforming into everything from a pirate to superheros, keeping the little ones entertained for hours. As a professional actor, as seen on Netflix and Amazon, I’m always ready to dive into make-believe with any willing child, whether it’s leading a daring quest for hidden treasure or hosting a royal tea party. Basically, I'm a professional fun-haver, dedicated to making kids' days a little brighter and a lot more magical!

"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)."
