I have 15+ years of CNA and childcare working background. I love caring for the elderly and taking care of children. I have two daughters of my own and a 10 year old grandson. I think, being a nurturer is just in my nature.

I genuinely have a passion for helping others, particularly when it comes to cleaning, organizing, running errands, and maintaining a well-functioning household. I believe in giving my utmost effort and treating each task as if it were being done for my own home or family. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for children and providing household services. These experiences have instilled in me patience, responsibility, and a strong sense of reliability. Families consistently describe me as caring, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. I take great pride in providing not only high-quality care but also peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones and your home are in good hands.

“So professional. ”

Valentina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Valentina. I’m a 22-year-old college student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where I study Advertising and Marketing Communications. I currently live in NYC and am looking for babysitting opportunities with families in the area. I have experience working with children as a babysitter and former camp counselor, caring for kids ages 3–10. I also taught Spanish to elementary school students (grades 1–5) as part of my high school Spanish Language and Global Citizen program, where I created and led engaging, interactive lesson plans in a classroom setting. I really enjoy working with children and bringing a balance of structure, creativity, and fun into their day. I’m comfortable helping with homework, light cooking, errands, and general household support. Outside of childcare, I’m a very active and creative person. I’m a former soccer player and love outdoor activities, sports, and staying active with kids. I also enjoy creative activities like art, painting, film, theatre, and storytelling. I’m open to working with children of different personalities and energy levels, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged.

"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)."
