Hi families! My name is Nqobile, I'm 23 years old and originally from South Africa. I'm available throughout the week from 4:30pm and on weekends and would love to support your family during those hours. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid license and I also have a background in English tutoring. Whether it's helping with homework, engaging in play-based learning, or supporting a nap schedule for little ones, I bring a calm, patient, and joyful energy to every task. I value transparency, patience, responsibility, open communication, and I'm always eager to learn and grow. Childcare isn't just a job to me--it's a passion. I'm also currently preparing to study nursing, with a heart for caregiving in all forms. If you're looking for someone dependable, warm, and deeply committed to helping your children thrive, I'd love to be part of your family's journey!

She was excellent! She arrived on time, was very professional, friendly, warm, and personable. My family enjoyed her caring nature and the time spent in our home. We would highly recommend booking her to care for your child/children.

Hi! I’m Ari! I am a high energy, patient and loving caretaker! I have 10+ years of experience working with infants, children and teens of all ages! I also have experience working with people that have been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. I most recently worked at a local school as a teachers aide during the day for students ages 4-12. And after school as a high school boys and girls club counselor. Additionally, this past summer, I was also employed at a local day care for babies from 3mos- 3year olds in Riverdale, NY. During the school year, I can help work on school work with school aged children just as much as we can go to the park and play! I am open minded and always communicate my ideas with parents/guardians. I also have experience taking care of seniors, going to doctor’s appointments and accompanying seniors to day care facilities in the past as well as medication weekly distribution, glucose daily analysis (pinching finger to measure blood glucose levels.) I am an animal lover with experience walking, sitting and caring for animals( cats, dogs, frogs, turtles, fish, iguanas). I know how to keep a tidy home, wash laundry, cook and manage household errands as dry cleaning, booking appointments, grabbing groceries, post office errands and prepping for religious observances. Book me for your next vacation, work day or night off from the day to day hustle and bustle of NY!

Hi my name is Katherine! I’m currently a student at the College of Mount Saint Vincent. I am offering child care services. I’m also able to drive. Throughout the years, I’ve babysat toddlers and kids: from relatives and family friends. Some activities I love to do with the kids are crafts, coloring and drawing.

Hi, I'm Shannon! I love working with kids, and have many years of childcare experience. Most recently, I have been nannying a six-month-old infant in Sleepy Hollow, and two toddlers in Irvington, doing lots of storytime and outdoor play. I grew up in Bergen County, NJ, and now live in Nyack, NY. I am currently in grad school part-time at SUNY New Paltz to become a child therapist, and have extensive and varied experiences working with kids aged 1-16, at New Paltz Youth Center, All About Me Early Learning Center in Cresskill, NJ, and Tenafly Nature Center’s nature-based summer camp, in addition to various babysitting, tutoring, and volunteering experiences. I am very interested in working with families on a part-time basis to provide fun, engaging experiences for kids, from infants up to teens. When working with kids, I take into account their strengths, personal interests, and stage of development, and like to build a strong relationship where each child feels respected and supported in various areas of their life. I love integrating each child's unique creativity and understanding of the world into how I work with them on their homework, art projects, and play time. I am also a huge pet lover (I have a cat named Evie), and am available if any pet care is needed. Please reach out if there are any other questions I can answer, I would love to work with you and your family!

"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)."
