Iti $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Leonia, NJ

Hello! My name is Itionna. I joined UrbanSitter because I understand how challenging it can be to find reliable care—whether for a child, senior, or pet. I’m here to offer a helping hand to fellow parents or caregivers in need of extra support. I have my own car and offer open, flexible availability. I bring extensive experience working with children with special needs, including ASD, ADHD, speech delays, and developmental delays. I’m also a proud mom to an amazing 6-year-old boy whom I homeschool. In our free time, we enjoy trips to Target, neighborhood walks, visits to the park, and outings to the zoo and aquarium. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your family! ☺️

Taylor $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Taylor, a childcare worker and musician/actor here in NYC, offering infant/childcare and pet care! My first experiences taking care of children date back to when I was 14, babysitting the neighborhood children for work experience. Since then, I’ve spent countless summers as a summer camp counselor. When I moved to New York I spent time as a part-time birthday party entertainer for children of all ages, worked as a Toddler’s Assistant in private schools, and continue to nanny full time as well as substitute teach for all ages of children! I am a NY licensed driver with a clean record, able to transport your kiddos to and from school + all sorts of different activities. I love to incorporate music into childcare routines with lots of songs and encouraging words. (I also offer guitar lessons for elementary children and older). I’m a good cook and love to care for pets as well (dogs, cats, anything!)

Griselda $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi — my name is Griselda, and I'm offering child care in NYC. I love being a caregiver and have been watching over newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids for 24 years. My responsibilities have included daily routines, playtime, meals, and speaking Spanish together so kids can build their language skills." I bring warmth, patience, and energy to everything I do, and I'm always attentive to the children in my care. I deeply understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone's child — every family's trust means everything to me, and I care for each child's well being as if they were my own grandchildren. I am available to work weekends and evenings, and travel with the family when needed. Spanish is my native language, and I'm also fluent in English.

"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)."
