alysha $22 per hour for 1 child

Grew up in a very family oriented environment which required me to start taking care of younger siblings since I could even start making memories! Love being apart of the growing process and helping parents to achieve balance in their life while providing children a memorable childhood. I have experience working with special needs children and all children age 2 and above. I am always open to cook, clean or any task that could be helpful!

Jason $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a Clinical Art Therapist that has worked with children and families for over 15 years in various settings (i.e. foster care, school & after-school; in-home counseling) and hoping to help more families during times of need. I am offering child-care and household services! There isn't a child care need, or age I haven't been able to handle! Growing up in a large family started me off early on this trajectory and I love supporting children and families so that they can have more positive, adaptive time together. In my most recent work experiences, I supported young mothers' within the foster care system, and providing counseling and support in private practice. I am excited to expand my services and provide support at this level if needed! I'm able to cook, have many activities, games; ideas that can keep kid's entertained and engaged!

Mawa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mawa, and I'm a childcare provider based in NYC. I have a year and a half of professional experience working with toddlers and preschoolers (ages 1-4) in a daycare environment, along with individual care for families. Prior to that, I also cared for children of family friends. I'm CPR certified and comfortable assisting with a variety of daily needs. I'm an energetic and playful caregiver who loves having fun, but I also believe in maintaining structure and routine to support a child's growth and sense of security. Some of my favorite activities to do with children include reading, exploring outdoors, and anything hands-on or creative. I strive to make every day engaging, safe, and full of opportunities for learning. Currently, I am looking to work with families within the NYC area only. I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit!

"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."

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)."
