Hello! My name is Kaelyn and I am a Hunter graduate with my masters in Bilingual Education in Spanish. I have been working with children for over 10 years babysitting, tutoring and as a teacher. I have also done senior care offering company to elders. I have taken care of huskies so I can pet care, walking and feeding dogs.

She was wonderful! So warm and sweet and my baby loved her!

Michelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I am a mom of 2. One is a toddler and the other is 17! So I am patience-tested & approved! I spent several years as a stay-at-home-mom while volunteering at kid's school and occasionally substitute teaching. I previously worked as a "Teacher of Speech & Hearing Handicapped" in NYC public schools and an Early Intervention therapist and a soecial education preschool teacher in Florida. I got sidetracked reentering the workforce with a breast cancer diagnosis but now I am cancer free and ready to work! I've met other urban sitter caregivers at my local library and I think this would be a great fit! I love children and I promise yours will be in good hands whether we're reading , playing legos or trains, going to the playground. Babies? yes, please! I'm a pro hip- bopper. I love to cook, make art, nature and finding new children's books with the perfect amount of text and simple illustration - However I love kids reading anything appropriate. I also love exploring the city and finding interesting events to attend.

Hello! My name is Shaday, and I am an experienced and dedicated nanny/babysitter with over 6 years of hands-on experience providing exceptional childcare. My passion for nurturing and guiding children has equipped me with a wide range of skills that ensure their safety, growth, and well-being in a trusting and caring environment. Parents can feel confident leaving their little ones in my care, knowing that I prioritize creating a loving, educational, and fun atmosphere. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing nutritious meals, or organizing engaging activities, I am committed to supporting both the children and the family's needs. Looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to your family’s life!

Shaday has babysat for us twice and she is punctual and friendly. While we were away, she responded quickly to inquiries about how little one was doing. Our little one is very hesitant about strangers, but seems to really like Shaday. And was genuinely sad to see her leave.

"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."

"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)."
