Molly $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Molly, I’m a full-time Montessori infant teacher, and I have experience working with children from 6 months to 13 years old! I'm passionate about the Montessori philosophy and love creating child-led experiences that encourage independence, creativity, and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities are making art, reading, spending time outdoors, and exploring nature. I'm looking for a part-time evening position (around 6–11 PM) with a family I'd love to build a long-term relationship with, ideally growing into a full-time role. P.S. I'm allergic to cats, but I'm happy to care for any other pets!

$25 per hour for 1 child

I believe childhood should be filled with laughter, learning and love. I consider myself patient, loving and reliable. For the past two years, I have been a full-time nanny to a wonderful little one, starting when he was 6 months, which it’s been a wonderful experience, that taught me so much about infant care. I’m a certified preschool teacher in my home country, which has given me knowledge and strong skills in early childhood development. As a plus, Spanish is my first language and I truly enjoy introducing children to it through songs, books and playful activities. I’m CPR-certified caregiver.

Lis has been our nanny for several afternoons and evenings, and our son loves spending time with her. She has a special way of connecting with children, making every moment fun and entertaining. My husband and I always feel at ease knowing our son is in good hands. I don't know what I would do without Liss.

Booked by 1 family in Woodside, NY

Hi - My name is Glory and I'm currently a graduate student at Columbia. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am happy to work with families with dogs.

I highly recommend Glory as a babysitter. She has worked with my family in the past and consistently demonstrated a high level of responsibility, warmth, and professionalism. Glory is incredibly attentive and patient with children. She is able to create a calm, engaging environment while also maintaining structure and safety. Whether it’s helping with routines, organizing activities, or simply being present and attentive, she brings a thoughtful and caring approach to everything she does. What stands out most is her reliability and communication. She is always punctual, responsive, and proactive in updating me, which gave me a strong sense of trust and peace of mind.

$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Woodside, NY

Hi!! I am new to this app as of last weekend. I know I don’t have many reviews yet due to this but I’m a hard worker and have experience in this field! In summary: I am a recent college graduate with experience being a swimming instructor for all ages as well as working as a daycare teacher for ages 6 months to 18 months. I love kids and animals. I’ve spent time babysitting since I was 12 to neighborhood kids as well as taken care of animals from dogs to chickens, to bunnies, to chinchillas. I recently am open to work after leaving a teacher job at an incredibly strict charter school. My reason for leaving was my difficulty in dealing with the extremely harsh environment. I don’t command, I teach! I remember too well what being a kid is like and I want to make kids enjoy their lives like I did. You can’t be a kid forever, let them enjoy it. In terms of animals, I have two lovely kittens that I adopted from Animal Haven and have always had multiple pets growing up. I love animals immensely (sometimes more than other adults). They bring a comfort nothing else can and I would love to get to meet and return that comfort to some special critters while you all enjoy time off. In terms of caregiving, I previously worked at a pharmacy for 4 years where I would deliver medicine, food and essentials to residences in nursing homes. I am available to start whenever! I live in Park Slope and would be happy to meet any one in person!

Lucy 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Lucy Babat! I am 22 and a recent Colgate University graduate heading to NYU this fall for a Master's in Social Work. I'm originally from Nashville, TN, where I spent several years nannying and developed a real love for working with young kids, especially infants and toddlers. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy the day-to-day of caring for little ones. I like keeping kids engaged with screen free play, hands-on activities, cooking simple meals and snacks, and helping older siblings with homework when needed. I am well versed with infants and am more than comfortable curating age appropriate activities (tummy time, swaddling, soothing, etc). I have also taken many childhood development courses through my psychology major at Colgate. I'm available for the summer and would love to find a great family to spend it with. Please feel free to reach out!

During her time with us, Lucy was responsible for caring for our young children, meal prep, light housework, and accompanying us on activities. She was consistently punctual, reliable, and attuned to our children’s needs. Her abilities to remain positive and calm, while keeping kids engaged and creating a nurturing environment consistently fostered a sense of security, joy, and trust. Our family absolutely adores her, and we always felt confident they were safe and well cared for. She became an important member of our family, and we continue to remain close. I would not hesitate to hire her again and whole heartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny!

"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."

"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)."
