Ayoade $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ayoade. I’m currently in cosmetology school and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communication & Psychology. I offer child care, senior care, and light household services. I have over a decade of experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns to school-aged kids (including my twin sisters!). I’ve worked in a daycare and spent 2 years as a Direct Support Professional, which strengthened my skills in patience, safety, and individualized care. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs/pick-ups, meal prep, homework help, crafts, and fun, engaging activities. I’m responsible, flexible, and quick on my feet. I also serve in the children’s department at my church, so my childcare experience is ongoing. I look forward to creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for your family!

Lizbeth $35 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly skilled babysitter with nearly 15 years of experience, complemented by a strong background in medical and first responder care. I am trustworthy, kind, friendly, and optimistic, with a genuine love for taking care of children. Having three younger siblings and three nieces has further strengthened my caregiving abilities. I enjoy exploring new activities with children, both indoors and outdoors, and I will go above and beyond to ensure their happiness. I have worked with multiple families, primarily in live-out positions, and each family has been satisfied with my childcare services. I understand the responsibility that comes with supervising children and am vigilant in preventing potential injuries. I pride myself on being honorable and honest. I have my own transportation and am willing to install car seats in my vehicle as needed. I thrive in fast-paced environments where meeting deadlines is essential, and I am comfortable managing multiple tasks simultaneously. I enjoy challenges and am committed to achieving your objectives. If you are looking for a qualified and dedicated individual who views challenges as opportunities for growth, I believe I am the right person for this job. References are available upon request.

Liana $20 per hour for 1 child

Currently working for a daycare mainly with toddlers (2-3) but often moved to infants all the way to preschool. Looking for an easier environment (20 2y/os is definitely a lot). I’m great with understanding children’s emotions and helping with development and regulating feeling. I’ve got a lot of energy to keep up with the fun things especially going outdoors to parks, on trips and making up fun games on rainy days. I’d love to work with one child as much as I’d be glad to work with three. I can easily commute around Manhattan as I live one stop in the train from Penn which only takes me 10-15 minutes and I’m well versed with the city.

"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)."
