Kristen $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kristen, and I would describe myself as caring, kind, and loving. I truly enjoy working with children and teens because of how genuine, creative, and full of potential they are. Growing up, I often cared for my nephews and nieces, and when my mom had my younger sister, I naturally stepped into a “second mom” role. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the ability to connect with children of different ages. I hold a college degree and I am CPR certified, which I believe provides an added sense of trust and security for families. Over the years, I have gained experience in babysitting, tutoring, and companion care, as well as pet sitting and light household support. I am also bilingual (English/Spanish), which I find to be a great advantage when helping children with language learning or schoolwork. In my free time, I enjoy coloring, going to the park, listening to music, trying new things, and going on little adventures. I am dependable, organized, and respectful, and one thing you should know about me is that I will care for your children as if they were my own. I am excited about the opportunity to become part of your family and to share not only my support and skills but also my warmth and dedication. I look forward to the chance to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children while learning from your culture and sharing mine.

Alice 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Alice and I'm 31 years old living in Middle Village, Queens. I have a profile also on care.com which has more reviews and have been using for years and new to this site if it helps sending it :) I first started caring for kids in a day-care at a gym 10 years ago then started on care.com and worked with many, many wonderful families since then and have found my passion working with children. I worked with kids from 2.5 to 12 years old to kids with autism/sensory issues, shy kids, chatty kids, kids with anxiety, so I'm super experienced and can relate to kids and understand how every chid has their own special personalities and needs. I drive my own car and my duties would always include picking kids up from school, taking them home, making sure they are comfortable unload backpacks if needed, give snacks/lunch if needed and let them have a little break, any after school activities in the same neighborhood, summer camps drop off/pick up, going to park, have done remote learning, sick days, making sure they do choirs or encourage doing things together and always teaching kids positive things, sometimes parents would just love us staying home and going on walks around a couple blocks, all depends on the kids and parents needs :) Always willing to work with what the family needs and usually make ourselves a schedule to go by and if they like alone time/ personality needs and traits and I love becoming a person they can always talk with and become someone they can talk too and go for any advice and comfort. Always communicating if any issues occur and look for that in parents as well. Communication, respect, caring families is always whats most important to me. My number one priority for the children I’m caring for is making sure they are safe, happy, comfortable and in the best care possible.

Alice worked with us for about 10 months, helping us out with our then 3 year old daughter. She helped us with pick up, taking our daughter to after school activities, and occasionally giving her shower. Alice was friendly and flexible with our schedule, and our daughter did enjoy the time they spent together.

Kathryn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kathryn, or Kat for short. I grew up between Nantucket, Massachusetts and Western Massachusetts and am now located in Brooklyn! I've been working with kids for ten years, between babysitting, teaching classes at my local community theater and nannying during college summers. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with my B.A. in Musical Theatre and Psychology in 2023, and now work in theatre in the city as well as assisting at a youth theatre company back home. I love art, music, cooking and having dance parties whenever possible. I've worked with kiddos from ages 2-13, am CPR certified, and believe in a loving, nurturing environment to fuel children's imagination and creativity. If you think I would be a good fit for what your family and children need, I'd love to chat!

"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)."
