Hello! I am currently a student at Columbia University, and I would love to meet and connect with your family! As the oldest of 5 children, I have been consistently called upon to look after my young siblings, which I have done for about 8 years. Additionally, I babysit often for my younger cousins; right now, my siblings and cousins are school age, however, I do have experience with toddlers. I have previously assisted with an in-home daycare which provided care for children under the age of 6. Over the years I have picked up various babysitting gigs and in the past year, I have started to take sitting more seriously. I have been babysitting for families on the Upper West Side for about a year, primarily with drop-offs, pick-ups, and weekends. I love connecting with children and being a small part of their day, and I love connecting with parents as well!

She engaged right away with my 5 and 2 yr boys and had me feel comfortable to leave the house. I came home early and got a chance to know her more. She is so sweet and thoughtful. Would love to have her again.

Booked by 15 families in Ridgefield, NJ

Hello! My name is Jennessa (first name Kathryn). I'm 27, and have been a nanny and babysitter for multiple other wonderful families over the course of the past 7 years with kids ranging from 3 m/o to 10 y/o. While I am new to the UrbanSitters platform, I have previously worked through a nannying agency and will gladly provide references from my past clients. I love pets and am very comfortable with being around/ caring for them, am CPR/First Aid certified, speak Spanish, and have years of experience as a private tutor. I have a BA in English from Boston College and spent the past two years working a very draining writing job in the legal field. The entire time I missed the kids and families I used to nanny for, so I am regrouping and reentering the childcare field! My goal is always to provide a safe, fun, low-stress environment for children where they feel comfortable expressing themselves. I also love to foster the development of strong language skills and creativity through reading and storytelling. I am often described as calm, patient, creative, and engaging. I'd love to hear more from you and learn about your childcare needs!

Greeting Everyone, My name is Elizabeth! I am recent grad who majored in Political Science and Latin American and Latino Studies. Iwas also on the pre-law track, as I plan on becoming a lawyer in the future. Three years ago, a majority of my experience is in a non professional sense. As the eldest, I have taken care of my siblings from infancy to the age of 15 years old. I am knowledgable with feeding children, changing diapers, bed time routine, and can help with homework. I would keep them engaged through energizing as well as relaxing activities. I also have experience with overnight routines. However, now I have been able to evolve my experience and taking care of children from ages of newborn - nine years of age. Shuttling them around the city from school to activities, assisted in bath time routines, and overnight feedings. I also have experience with working with children who have special needs, specifically autism. Before college, I worked for about a year with special needs children. I acted as a relief to families, while they ran errands. I assisted with behavioral development, homework, and every day tasks. I love engaging and caring for younger minds. They are so full of questions and I believe it is important to have someone willing to answer these questions rather than stamping out their curiosity. Furthermore, I know what it like to have the fear of caring for yourself or seeing parents stress about leaving their children with a stranger and I want to be that person who can alleviate that stress. To be the person that parents can trust. I look forward to chatting with you all!

"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)."
