Jeannie $75 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jeannie and I’m a writing coach. I am a proud native New Yorker who went through the NYC school system myself and I deeply understand the transformative power of academic mentorship. My tutoring journey began in 2020, when I started helping elementary school students navigate math during the pandemic. I later worked as an academic writing specialist at Columbia University to help first-year master’s students refine their writing. My background in journalism fuels my approach to tutoring. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and build genuine connections with my students. I am highly committed to each student’s progress, customizing my teaching to fit their individual learning goals.

I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

Liz $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Liz, and I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. I’m 24 years old and originally from Virginia! I’ve been house sitting and pet sitting since I was 12 years old and have consistently been trusted with extended stays ranging from 1 to 6 weeks while families were away. I have experience caring for pets, maintaining homes, handling daily routines, and making sure everything stays safe, clean, and stress-free while you’re gone. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 18 and have cared for children ranging from 6 months to 10 years old. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, whether that means being an energetic play buddy, cooking dinner, helping with bedtime routines, or telling great bedtime stories! I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I truly enjoy helping families feel comfortable and supported.

"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)."
