Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lily and I am a recent graduate of Bennington College where I studied Visual Arts and Poetry. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services! I love being a babysitter. I took care of the same family all throughout high school (4 years) watching two toddler-aged into kid-aged children and a dog. My responsibilities included helping with homework, doing crafts, transportation to/from extracurricular activities, walking the dog, and playing by the pool. For the past two summers I have worked as a camp counselor for ages ranging 5-12 years old. Both being out in nature, I have experience supervising children at lakes and oceans, leading hiking, and creating/teaching arts and crafts activities. I feel passionate about fostering creativity within kids through art! I have 10+ years experience volunteering with children with developmental and behavioral special needs. I am trained in behavior management and feel equipped to handle most cases. I am offering pet and household services as well. I have grown up with multiple cats and dogs so am used to animals and love them! I can do household tasks as well including cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for plants. I am First-Aid and CPR certified!

Yvelise $20 per hour for 1 child

“I’m a forty-one year old dedicated caregiver with extensive experience nurturing children and serving my community. Through my six years in home care and work as a recruiter for a home care agency, I’ve developed strong caregiving skills and understand what it means to truly care for others. I currently work for WorkForce1, a job placement center for New York City, where I help people find employment and build better lives. My passion for helping youth led me to start my own nonprofit focused on supporting kids and teens in my neighborhood. I’m also an active member of Uptown United, a community organization dedicated to giving back to our elderly, youth, and anyone in need through annual events and ongoing support. I regularly care for neighborhood teenagers and am excited to extend that care to younger children as well. My approach to childcare comes from a place of genuine love and community service. I believe in creating safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive, and I bring both professional caregiving experience and a heart for service to every family I work with

alysha $22 per hour for 1 child

Grew up in a very family oriented environment which required me to start taking care of younger siblings since I could even start making memories! Love being apart of the growing process and helping parents to achieve balance in their life while providing children a memorable childhood. I have experience working with special needs children and all children age 2 and above. I am always open to cook, clean or any task that could be helpful!

Corinne $25 per hour for 1 child

I have experience babysitting for multiple families, caring for children of different ages, and supporting their daily routines in a safe, fun, and structured environment. I'm responsible, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy creating activities that keep kids engaged while also making sure they feel supported and comfortable! In addition to childcare, I was a peer mentor in college, where I helped guide and support fellow students academically and personally. That experience strengthened my communication skills and the ability to connect with others in a supportive and understanding way. I have a BFA in Musical Theater as well, so anything music or performing arts related I love to share/teach children. I also have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and making sure they are well looked after. Overall, I'm dependable, caring, and I take pride in being someone families can trust!

"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)."
