Booked by 20 families in Valley Cottage, NY

Hi, I'm Megan. I'm a writer and experienced nanny and babysitter looking for part-time or occasional jobs in Westchester or Manhattan! Previously, I was a nanny for a sweet 2 year old, working five days a week with him doing snacks, lunch, nap time, and lots of playtime and outdoor exploring. And I’ve been a daily after school/after camp babysitter for kids ages 8-12. I’ve also worked as a group teacher at an after school program, caring for kids in kindergarten through fourth grade. I've been babysitting since I was a teenager—through high school, college, and grad school. I have experience with kids aged 10 months-12 years, and I love crafts, games, and playing sports with kids. I’m also certified in CPR, anaphylaxis response, and school-age child health and safety. In my spare time I enjoy tennis, visiting museums, and bingeing tv. I'm looking forward to meeting new families -- please contact me if you have any questions!

Megan was warm, professional and clearly very experienced with caretaking for children.

Hi families! My name is Nqobile, I'm 23 years old and originally from South Africa. I'm available throughout the week from 4:30pm and on weekends and would love to support your family during those hours. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid license and I also have a background in English tutoring. Whether it's helping with homework, engaging in play-based learning, or supporting a nap schedule for little ones, I bring a calm, patient, and joyful energy to every task. I value transparency, patience, responsibility, open communication, and I'm always eager to learn and grow. Childcare isn't just a job to me--it's a passion. I'm also currently preparing to study nursing, with a heart for caregiving in all forms. If you're looking for someone dependable, warm, and deeply committed to helping your children thrive, I'd love to be part of your family's journey!

She was excellent! She arrived on time, was very professional, friendly, warm, and personable. My family enjoyed her caring nature and the time spent in our home. We would highly recommend booking her to care for your child/children.

Booked by 1 family in Valley Cottage, NY

I'm a dedicated and energetic babysitter with 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have a military background, which has instilled in me discipline, reliability, and strong organizational skills. I love working with kids, creating fun and engaging activities, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I have CPR and First Aid training (in progress), and I'm comfortable driving, assisting with homework, and helping around the house with light housekeeping. I'm available for part-time and/or full time positions and bring enthusiasm, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. Your children's safety, growth, and happiness are my top priorities!

Frances came through for me on short notice to babysit my son before school started. And she dropped him off safely as well. Thank you!

"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)."
