Hi my name is Katherine! I’m currently a student at the College of Mount Saint Vincent. I am offering child care services. I’m also able to drive. Throughout the years, I’ve babysat toddlers and kids: from relatives and family friends. Some activities I love to do with the kids are crafts, coloring and drawing. I also enjoy doing outdoor activities such as walks and going to the playground. Lastly, I also enjoy cooking, baking and reading books.

Hi, I'm Shannon! I love working with kids, and have many years of childcare experience. Most recently, I have been nannying a six-month-old infant in Sleepy Hollow, and two toddlers in Irvington, doing lots of storytime and outdoor play. I grew up in Bergen County, NJ, and now live in Nyack, NY. I am currently in grad school part-time at SUNY New Paltz to become a child therapist, and have extensive and varied experiences working with kids aged 1-16, at New Paltz Youth Center, All About Me Early Learning Center in Cresskill, NJ, and Tenafly Nature Center’s nature-based summer camp, in addition to various babysitting, tutoring, and volunteering experiences. I am very interested in working with families on a part-time basis to provide fun, engaging experiences for kids, from infants up to teens. When working with kids, I take into account their strengths, personal interests, and stage of development, and like to build a strong relationship where each child feels respected and supported in various areas of their life. I love integrating each child's unique creativity and understanding of the world into how I work with them on their homework, art projects, and play time. I am also a huge pet lover (I have a cat named Evie), and am available if any pet care is needed. Please reach out if there are any other questions I can answer, I would love to work with you and your family!

"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)."
