Taylor $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Taylor, I’m 21 years old, going into my 4th year at Parsons School of Design, living in the East Village. Growing up in California I babysat for several families with children of different age ranges. I developed a love for children and being able to help families! I’m always happy to be an extra set of hands around the house and help families wherever needed. Addition to babysitting, my first job was a gymnastics coach for kids of all ages. In my free time I enjoy reading, working out, and going on long walks to enjoy the city!

Caitlin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Caitlin! I'm 24 and have been living in the city for the past two years, but am originally from Wisconsin. I went to university for Entertainment and Marketing, and now I work in Film and Television PR during the day, however I am looking to pick up more babysitting gigs as I just love being around kids! Growing up with three younger siblings and 14 younger cousins, I've always been surrounded by kids, so now that I live away from family, I'm missing that burst of joy. I've been a certified babysitting for 12 years (CPR certified, and Red Cross babysitting certified), and worked as a summer nanny for three summers during college. As far as age experience, I'm very comfortable with kiddos of all ages, from infants to teenagers, I love it all! Hanging out and playing with the kids I watch is always a joy, however their safety is always my number one priority! I'm so excited to meet you and am grateful you took the time to read my bio :)

Adriana $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Adriana and I am an elementary school teacher on the Upper East Side. I just finished my 6th year of teaching and I have experience teaching 3rd-5th grade. My experience with working with children ages 4-14 dates back to when I was in high school when I taught dance classes at my dance studio. I also worked as a camp counselor at a 7 week sleep away camp in Maine for three summers during college. I love babysitting and tutoring kids between the ages of 4 and 14.

Corrine $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! My name is Corrine, and I’m 27 years old. I am new to Urban Sitter, but I’ve been caring for children of all ages for over 10 years. I babysat all throughout high school, college, and post college, and I was also an after school teacher during my 4 years in college. Babysitting has always been such a rewarding part of my life, and I love creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. I would describe myself as kind, patient, and reliable. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, picking up your kids from school/activities, or keeping kids entertained with games and crafts, I’m happy to jump in wherever I’m needed. I’m also available for evenings, weekends, or daytime care, depending on your family’s schedule. Along with childcare, I have lots of experience with pets, too! I grew up in a home full of animals (including four Labrador Retrievers all at once), and I currently help care for my parents puppy and an older lab. So if you have furry family members, I’ll treat them with just as much care and love. I’d love the chance to support your family and give you peace of mind knowing your kids are in good hands.
