Candace $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Candace and I’m offering child care and household services. I am an energetic, responsible, and experienced childcare professional with a passion for creating fun, engaging, and memorable experiences for children of all ages. My background includes working with children in educational, recreational, and entertainment settings, allowing me to build strong connections while fostering creativity, confidence, and learning. As a performer with Disney Cruise Line, I had the opportunity to inspire and entertain children daily through music, storytelling, and dance. I also worked as a dance instructor teaching children ages 6 months to 8 years old, helping them develop coordination, self-expression, and confidence in a positive and encouraging environment. In addition, I have held multiple after-school teaching positions where I worked with children ranging from preschool age through middle school, supporting their growth through educational and enrichment activities. I also owned and operated a princess party company, where I spent weekends creating magical experiences for children while ensuring every event was safe, interactive, and engaging. My experience has taught me how to connect with children of different ages and personalities, maintain a safe and nurturing environment, and keep kids entertained through creative activities, games, crafts, music, and imaginative play. I am reliable, patient, and dedicated to making every child feel valued, supported, and excited to learn and have fun. I also have a passion for dogs and raised my goldendoodle in the city since he was 10 weeks old. I have experience dog walking and dog sitting!

Katherine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kate! I am a first-year Masters in Social Work student at NYU living in Brooklyn. I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2021 with a degree in Cognitive Studies and African-American and Diaspora Studies. I’m just getting started on Urban Sitter, so I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve worked with in the past. I have 11 years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages, genders, and personality styles. I have experience with kids with Downs Syndrome, autism, and other special needs. This has included children with aggression and other severe behavioral problems, and I am confident in my abilities to meet these patterns with patience and compassion. I love kids and empowering them to practice autonomy while also being someone they can depend on. I’m looking for part-time babysitting opportunities during weekday evenings and weekends! I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Maya $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi- My name is Maya and I am currently a junior at NYU. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have always loved being a babysitter and spending time with kids and have taken care of mostly 4 year olds and older and a 1 year old since being in high school. I also worked as a summer camp counselor for 3 years with loads of different aged children. I also tutored young children in high school and have worked with high school children since being in college. A fun fact about me is I am fluent in French if any children happen to be needing language help. I am mostly looking for childcare opportunities as I absolutely adore looking after children and watching them grow and experience all the energy and joy they have to offer. I am a responsible, attentive, and energetic caretaker, am very patient when need be, and will be able to communicate with children and parents about anything that may come up. I can also work as a household assistant and can run errands, as well as love caring for all sorts of animals and would also be interested in pet care services. *I will be out of town June 19-29 my schedule is very clear and flexible before and after that

Charlet $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Charlet! I’m originally from Portland and now a student at Fordham University here in NYC. I’ve spent the last five years caring for children from infants to age 16 through babysitting as well as some full-time nannying. Caring for kids comes naturally to me, I love to help create a warm, clean, calm, and fun environment where young people feel safe, encouraged, and excited to explore. I’m confident with daily routines, including cleaning, meals, naps, school pickups/dropoffs, bedtime, and playtime. I value clear, consistent communication with parents and always strive to support whatever rhythm works best for your family. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and truly enjoy forming long-lasting, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I’d be happy to provide references, and I’d love to connect with you and your family.
