dalena $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m excited to connect with a loving family looking for a reliable and caring babysitter. I am a preschool teacher working in the Park Slope area, and I’m seeking work for the summer and possibly long term. I have five years of hands-on experience working with children ages 2–5, both in daycare classrooms and through babysitting for several of my students. My background in early childhood education has given me strong skills in supporting children’s growth, guiding positive behavior, and creating a warm, structured environment. I’m a certified teacher in NYS and I have my first aid and cpr training completed. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education with a concentration in Art, which I love incorporating into my time with children, whether that’s through creative activities, sensory play, or simple arts and crafts. I truly enjoy spending time with children, getting to know their personalities, and helping them feel safe, happy, and engaged. Families can count on me to be patient, dependable, and playful, while also maintaining routines and ensuring your child’s well-being. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a fun, nurturing experience for your little ones!

Trent $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Woodhaven, NY

Hi! My name is Trent, and I’ve always had a heart for caring for others, whether it’s children, seniors, or anyone who needs support. I studied Drama and Education at New York University, where I developed a deep understanding of child/adolescent development, learning styles, diversity, and inclusion. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified for all ages. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I grew up with a younger brother with Down Syndrome, Autism, and Type 1 diabetes, and I have been a caregiver to him my whole life. I have also worked at a special needs kids' gym, which has given me a lot of experience in watching children of all abilities. What I love most about caregiving is the chance to make someone’s day a little easier, brighter, and more joyful. Building trust with families and forming real connections with the people I care for is what keeps me inspired every day. When I’m not caregiving, you’ll usually find me outdoors, reading a new book, or working on a creative project. I’m reliable, compassionate, and always ready to help. I’d love the opportunity to support your family—thank you for considering me!

Bruna $27 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved back to NYC and I’m currently looking for a nanny position. I’m an experienced nanny with several years of childcare experience in Brazil and the U.S., caring for children from infants to school-age. I have a background in Psychology, which has helped me better understand child development, emotional needs, communication, and positive guidance. I’ve also volunteered with children with special needs, which taught me even more patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a confident driver with a clean record, an excellent swimmer, pet-friendly, and comfortable helping with meal preparation, children’s routines, errands, light housekeeping, and household organization. Families describe me as warm, responsible, proactive, dependable, and energetic. I truly love working with children and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. My goal is always to provide families with reliable care and peace of mind while becoming a positive and trusted part of their children’s lives.

$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Woodhaven, NY

I am an experienced caregiver with a calm, warm, and steady presence, and I bring a strong sense of organization and emotional awareness to every family I work with. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and personalities, and I’ve learned how to create routines that feel both structured and comforting. I focus on helping kids feel safe, understood, and confident in their own independence, while keeping the day flowing with ease and intention. My style is gentle but grounded. I stay fully present, I communicate clearly, and I adapt quickly to the rhythm of each household. I love creating moments of connection — reading together, exploring outside, building imaginative play — while also supporting the practical side of daily life. I’m comfortable managing schedules, preparing simple meals, organizing spaces, helping with homework, and keeping the home environment calm and functional. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and emotionally intuitive. I bring a sense of stability, kindness, and maturity that helps children relax and parents feel supported. Whether the day calls for creativity, structure, or quiet reassurance, I show up with consistency, patience, and genuine care. My goal is always to make the home feel lighter, smoother, and filled with a sense of trust.

Gabi is the sweetest, kindest and most patient person ever! My daughter and I absolutely love her. As a single parent, there are not many people who I trust to take care of my daughter, but Gabi is one of the few. She’s caring, responsible, always on time and flexible. 100% recommend her!

"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)."
