Booked by 15 families in Astoria, NY

Hi! My name is Aaliyah. I'm 22 and a sophomore in college. I am very artistic and I have a number of hobbies. I enjoy painting, drawing, reading, building, writing, baking, singing and dancing. I have 9 years of experience with childcare. I've taken care of children from the age of 4 months-14 years old. I have a very flexible schedule. I am CPR and first aid certified. I can prepare meals, assist with potty training, help with bathing, changing diapers, help with homework, plan and partake in activities with the kids, clean up after them and put them to bed. I ensure the children's safety while in my care. I am patient, responsible, respectful, reliable, fun and creative. I have good communication and problem solving skills. I can also help with swimming supervision, transportation, light housework and grocery shopping. I work well with multiple children since I grew up taking care of my 3 younger siblings. I also love animals! If I have applied for a position listed on the Job Board, be assured that I will be happy to work for the rate offered in the listing, even if it is below my usual rate. BOOKING POLICIES: If the booking starts later or ends earlier than expected, I still expect the payment for the original booking agreed. If a booking is cancelled within 24 hours of the start time I expect full payment. Cancellations made within 48 hours will require 50% payment as it can be difficult to secure alternative work on short notice.

Good service and the children liked her

Booked by 2 families in Astoria, NY

I’m a responsible and adaptable caregiver with extensive experience caring for children ages 1-8. My flexible personality helps me connect easily with kids of all ages. I’ve cared for multiple cats and dogs throughout my life and currently have a cat, so I’m completely comfortable with pets in the home. I understand that every child is unique, and I pride myself on adjusting my approach to meet each family’s specific needs and routines. Whether it’s engaging toddlers with creative play, helping school age children with activities, or providing reliable household support, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for working with both children and animals to every family I work with.

I currently have my CPR, Med-Admin, and Child Care Certifications up to date. I’ve been told i’m patient and playful, great for keeping kids active and engaged.

Booked by 4 families in Astoria, NY

Hello! You can call me Fatou for short. I live in the Bronx, willing to commute. I’m 25 years old and a full time experienced babysitter/nanny. I’ve been on Urban-sitter for a year now. I’ve done over nights, school drop offs and pick ups, and occasionally one time jobs as well. Worked with 7 families so far, with 2 families currently. I do well with complex schedules as well. Why babysitting/nannying? Knowing how to take care of kids before becoming a mom myself <3 I’m a former summer camp counselor from the Little Shepards program, had lots of fun going on outdoor trips to the zoo, amusement parks and museums. I’m a big sister as well, my little sister Tita! She’s 8 years old and the sweetest thing ever. We do a lot of our own girly dates like movies, kids spa and quick errands with me. So far we’ve watched The little Mermaid, Moana, Mufasa, and Elio! I have a 2 year old British short hair cat so I have experience with kittens/cats. Definitely look forward to working with you and your little ones soon!

Fatou was amazing! I needed someone last minute and she stepped in and saved the day! She had a great attitude and spent the evening with my 11 year old daughter. My daughter had a great time with Fatou and asked if she could babysit her again in the future. Fatou was punctual and communicative. I was at ease knowing that my daughter was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Fatou.

"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)."
