Seynabou Aminata $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Seynabou, and I’m a reliable and caring childcare provider based in NYC/NJ. I’m currently a Biochemistry student, and I truly enjoy working with children of all ages—from infants to school-aged kids. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple children in home settings, including full infant care (feeding, diapering, bathing, and sleep routines) as well as supporting toddlers and older kids with daily routines, school prep, homework help, and engaging activities. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. In addition to childcare, I’ve worked in schools and community programs helping children with learning and development, and I’m also a multilingual speaker (English, French, Wolof, and Spanish), which allows me to connect with diverse families. I’m patient, attentive, and very adaptable. I’m also flexible with my schedule and available for evenings and overnight care if needed. I would love to support your family and provide a safe, positive experience for your children!

Sierra $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sierra, and I’m excited to help care for you or your loved ones. I’m 18 years old and have been working with children since I was 15. I’ve gained experience in daycares, amusement parks, and I currently work at a summer camp. I also have three younger siblings, so I’m very comfortable caring for children and keeping them engaged in a fun, safe environment. In addition to childcare, I’ve helped care for my grandparents and have experience with everyday household tasks like cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I’m reliable, patient, and always happy to lend a helping hand wherever it’s needed. I am CPR and First aid certified as well. Whether you’re looking for childcare, senior companionship, or help around the house, I’d love the opportunity to assist. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile—I look forward to meeting you and helping however I can!

"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)."
