Hi! I’m Josee—a caring, dependable sitter with 10+ years of experience working with children from newborns to school-age, including those with special needs. I’ve worked as a daycare assistant, preschool assistant, tutor, camp counselor, and elementary special education teacher, so I’m comfortable balancing both fun and structure. I’m especially confident with infant care, routines (feeding, naps, bedtime), and creating a safe, engaging environment for kids of all ages. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I communicate clearly so parents always feel at ease. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like meal prep, tidying, and errands to support your family’s routine. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Adys Iderlaynys $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver who has been caring for children for most of my life\. I have helped care for my niece and nephew during family vacations in Florida, my four younger cousins in the Dominican Republic during the pandemic, and the children of close family friends as a nanny\. These experiences have taught me how to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment for children of different ages\. I also have professional experience as a Direct Support Professional \(DSP\), where I cared for children with physical and developmental disabilities\. This role strengthened my patience, communication, and problem\-solving skills while teaching me how to provide individualized care based on each child’s unique needs\. In addition to childcare, I cared for my mother after her knee reconstructive surgery, assisting with daily activities, meal preparation, medication reminders, and emotional support throughout her recovery\. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs and can help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping the home organized\. Families can count on me to be responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing safe, compassionate, and dependable care for their loved ones.

Charlotte $25 per hour for 1 child

I am an acting student that graduated from LaGuardia HS of Music and Art, attended Boston University and graduated this past May with a degree in theater. I am enthusiastic, engaged and nurturing. Growing up, I was the youngest of three as well as the youngest in my extended family and had many babysitters that shaped me into the woman I am. I worked with kids at my camp, French Woods Festival, for 3 years. I assistant directing kids ages 7-11 as well as counselor in training and trained to watch them over the night shift. A few summers ago I interned at an organization titled Only Make Believe which provides theatre for kids in hospitals that need medical assistance. Additionally I worked at Broadway Workshop which provides summer theater training to kids in school K-12. All of this work is on top of the babysitting I have done over the last 4 years of college with ages 0-13. I love working with kids and love getting to see the world through their eyes and feel it is the catalyst for my work as an actor and helps me reconnect with my imagination and inner child. I am a big dog lover and have had a dog in the house ever since I was born.

"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)."
