Elina $28 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently a junior at the University at Buffalo, majoring in Communications and minoring in Psychology. I’m super responsible, love working with kids, and would be happy to help out however I can. I’m home for the summer and looking to babysit! Last summer, I worked with a bunch of amazing families around the town of Armonk. I also spent the summer prior working in the daycare area at the Whippoorwill Country Club—so I’ve had lots of experience with kids of all ages. Additionally, I have younger cousins who I am constantly babysitting for, so I am always in tune with children’s needs. I’ve always had a natural bond with kids and truly enjoy hanging out with them, whether it’s playing, or just keeping them entertained and safe.

My name is Karla, I work for Stamford public schools for the Multilingual Department. I have worked with grades K-12 since 2021. I speak both English and Spanish.

Besides my morning job I am a waitress at a local family restaurant for 2-3 nights a week. I can cook healthy and balanced meals, run errands, care for your pets at home, or even if you just need an hour or 2 to yourself I’ll be there. I focus on a healthy lifestyle, I enjoy outdoors and my love for pets is immense. I am available after June 28th due tue summer break. I’d be happy to meet new families, and I’m open to make a part time position a full one. Please note that my calendar is not updated due to the app giving me issues when i try to do it.

Sherry $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in New Canaan, CT

I’m currently looking for the right fit where I can use my natural caregiving skills, intuition, and over 15 years of experience in early childhood education. Working with children has always come naturally to me , it’s where my patience, creativity, and nurturing side truly shine. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported, and I bring that heart-centered approach into everything I do. Caregiving has always been more than just a job for me ,it’s something that feels innate and fulfilling. Whether it’s engaging children through play, helping them express their emotions, or supporting their learning milestones, I take pride in creating a calm, positive environment where they can thrive. My background as a teacher has also given me a strong foundation in child development, structure, and gentle communication. I’m seeking flexible babysitting opportunities that allow me to bring this blend of warmth, experience, and intuition to a family who values trust and genuine care. Ideally, I’d love to connect with families who are looking for someone dependable, intuitive, and loving ,someone who can provide both practical support and an emotionally nurturing presence. I’m open on call for emergency calls and date nights and even at events.

"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)."
