Hi, I’m Emma!! I’m a 22 yr old based in the East Village and have experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old! I first started babysitting at 14, helping with my younger siblings, and since moving to NYC I’ve worked with multiple families across Manhattan! I’ve supported families with school pickups, tutoring, music lessons, crafts, dinner, baths, and bedtime routines. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, and meal prep.

Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophie, and I am a compassionate, creative, and highly organized caregiver with a strong background in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a focus in Film Production from The Pennsylvania State University, where I honed my skills in clear communication, problem-solving, and multitasking, abilities that translate seamlessly into providing attentive, high-quality care for children. Currently, I work as an Assistant Teacher for two-year-olds at The Learning Experience, where I support lead teachers in delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that foster early learning and social-emotional growth. Working with toddlers has deepened my understanding of this critical stage of development, from language acquisition to building routines and encouraging independence. I take great joy in guiding little ones through their daily discoveries, using patience, positivity, and creative play to create a warm and structured environment. Prior to this role, I served as an Au Pair, where I provided dedicated care for two children (ages 6 and 8). In this position, I managed daily schedules, planned engaging outings and activities, and fostered a safe, supportive environment that encouraged cooperation and positive social development. I also communicated regularly with parents to ensure their goals and expectations were consistently met. My experience as a Substitute Teacher in the Manheim Township School District further deepened my understanding of child development across grade levels. Working with students from kindergarten through 12th grade, I adapted lesson plans on the spot, managed diverse classroom dynamics, and built instant rapport with students and staff alike. Earlier, as a Day Care Teacher at U-Gro Day Care, I designed and implemented age-appropriate lesson plans, used positive reinforcement to guide behavior, and adapted my teaching to meet the unique needs of every child. I am also CPR-certified and have all required child care clearances, ensuring that your family's safety and peace of mind are always my top priorities. Beyond my professional credentials, I bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for helping children learn and grow. Whether it's organizing fun and educational outings, assisting with homework, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I am committed to supporting each child's emotional and developmental well-being.

Jordan $21 per hour for 1 child

I’ve worked with kids since middle school, starting by babysitting my little sister and tutoring peers, which sparked my love for helping children learn and grow. By 8th grade, I was an assistant teacher at Hebrew school and babysat my Rabbi’s daughter. In high school, I became a YMCA lifeguard (CPR certified) and taught swim lessons at summer camp. Throughout college, I spent four years as a certified tutor at the Boys & Girls Club, helping kids from 1st through 12th grade with reading, writing, math, and study skills. I graduated from Tufts University, where I studied Psychology and Economics, and have an intermediate level of Spanish. I love working with kids—watching their imagination develop, fostering their curiosity, and helping them learn. I also grew up with seven dogs, so I’m very comfortable with pets and happy to help with them too.

Booked by 1 family in East Rutherford, NJ

I have a dog that I take care of and I’ve been around them my whole life. I’d say I’m pretty good with pets but I’m most comfortable around dogs. I’m pretty active so I try to go on runs with my dog daily and try to fit in as much playtime I can in an hour.

"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)."
