Erica $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate education professional with experience working with children and students with disabilities. My educational background includes studying Psychology at Felician University, where I developed a strong interest in child development, behavior, and supporting individuals with different learning needs. I am continuing to pursue my goal of completing my education and becoming a certified Special Education teacher, with a particular interest in working with neurodivergent children. Since August 2022, I have worked as a Teacher Assistant with the Plainfield Public School District in New Jersey. In this role, I provide academic, behavioral, and emotional support to students with diverse needs. I work closely with teachers and other school professionals to help students participate in classroom activities, follow routines, develop independence, and feel safe and supported in their learning environment. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with students who require additional patience, structure, communication, and individualized support. My passion for working with children with special needs is also deeply personal. I am a parent of children with special needs, and my own experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges, strengths, and unique needs that children and their families may experience. Being a parent has taught me patience, compassion, advocacy, and the importance of celebrating every child's individual progress. It is one of the reasons I chose to dedicate my career to working with children who need additional support. I consider myself a loving and caring caregiver because I genuinely care about the well-being of every child I work with. I understand that children need more than supervision—they need patience, encouragement, understanding, consistency, and someone who will advocate for them. I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, accepted, and valued. I treat the children in my care with the same compassion and patience that I would want someone to show my own children. My personal and professional experiences have strengthened my commitment to education and caregiving. I want to continue growing professionally and eventually become a Special Education teacher who can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families.

Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Maria. I am a mom to a 32-year old adult with autism. As a special ed teacher, I have worked with many children with special needs helping them with activities of daily living (feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting, etc) behavioral and communication adaptations. I can take children to school or other appointments, as well as assist them with homework. I live on the Upper East side and am available to work twice a week. I am allergic to animals so I cannot work in households with pets. I do not speak Spanish. I consider myself to be an organized, compassionate, patient and trustworthy person. I prefer to work with seniors or no more than two kids aged 2 and above.

Hannah $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m 19 years old and graduated high school in 2025. I’m starting college this year and will be taking my coursework remotely, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to be very available to a family. I’m currently looking for a live in nanny/family assistant position I genuinely enjoy being around children and love getting to know their individual personalities, interests, and hobbies so I can create activities they truly enjoy. I’m happy to help with routines, homework, meals, playtime, bedtime, reading, creative activities, outdoor time, and keeping their spaces organized. I’m also happy to support the household while children are at school by handling laundry, organizing bedrooms and play areas, tidying, grocery shopping, errands, meal prep, and preparing things for their return from school. I’m proactive and like to notice what needs to be done without waiting to be asked. Because I’ll be studying remotely, I have an extremely flexible schedule and am available for family travel, overnight care, and schedule changes with advance notice. I’m not currently driving yet, but I’m very comfortable being active and walking longer distances, as well as using public transportation. I’m also willing to arrange and cover my own transportation when needed. I understand the importance of privacy, discretion, and respecting each family’s home and routines. I take their trust seriously and want parents to feel confident knowing their children are cared for. I’m dependable, eager to learn, and committed to becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I’m looking for a long-term role where I can become a trusted part of their routine. If you’re looking for more than just a babysitter, someone who can support your children while also helping your household run smoothly I’d love to connect.

"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)."
