Hi, I’m Eiliany! 👋 A caring, patient, and dependable babysitter with over 4 years of professional childcare experience, including 2 years of dedicated babysitting experience with infants, toddlers, and school age children. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I support children with autism and other developmental needs. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication, creativity, and ability to understand each child’s individual needs. I truly enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable being themselves. 👶 My Babysitting Experience I have hands-on experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I’m comfortable with: • Bottle feeding and preparing meals/snacks • Diaper changes and infant care • Nap and bedtime routines • Bathing and getting children ready for the day • Homework help • Reading and storytelling • Arts and crafts • Games and age-appropriate activities • Outdoor play and trips to the park • Supporting children with routines and transitions • Light housekeeping related to the children • Following each family’s parenting style and instructions I always aim to make children feel safe, heard, supported, and cared for while also making sure they have fun! ⭐ Qualifications • CPR Certified • Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) • OCFS 15-Hour Health & Safety Certified • Over 4 years of professional childcare experience • 2 years of babysitting experience • Currently studying Speech Pathology at Bronx Community College (A.A.S., expected 2027) Studying Speech Pathology is especially meaningful to me because I love helping children develop their communication, confidence, and independence. 💕 A Little About Me Outside of work and school, I enjoy going to the gym, cooking healthy meals, reading, and spending time with family. I especially enjoy reading books with children, doing arts and crafts, playing games, and coming up with creative activities that encourage learning. I’m also pet friendly! 🐾 As a cat owner, I understand how important it is to provide pets with loving and attentive care while following each family’s instructions.

Booked by 3 families in Astoria, NY

I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and households, and I truly enjoy helping families run smoothly. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens — which has taught me patience, creativity, and flexibility. I babysat regularly for a 1-year-old and 6-year-old for four years, as well as for another family with a baby under one and a 4-year-old for two years. I also cared for a 3-, 5-, and 7-year-old for two years, and during high school, I was a daily after-school sitter and driver for an 8- and 10-year-old. In addition to childcare, I’ve dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college and have experience house-sitting, running errands, and providing general household support. I’m responsible, reliable, and organized, but also warm and easygoing — someone kids feel comfortable and safe with. I love creating a positive, fun environment while keeping things structured and running smoothly for parents. I also love animals.

Nilysha $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nilysha 😊 I’m currently a nursing student with a passion for caring for others, especially children. I’ve always loved being around kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I have experience working with children as both a swim instructor and lifeguard, which taught me patience, responsibility, communication, and how to stay calm and attentive in all situations. I’m also CPR/BLS certified and currently gaining hands-on experience through pediatric and maternity nursing clinicals as I work toward my dream of becoming a NICU nurse practitioner one day. I also grew up as the youngest in a big family and have 10 nephews ranging from toddlers to teenagers, so I’ve been surrounded by kids my whole life! Being involved in their lives has helped me learn how to connect with different personalities and age groups while always being caring, dependable, and understanding. I would describe myself as bubbly, kind, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I enjoy activities like arts & crafts, reading, movies, games, homework help, and simply making kids feel comfortable and entertained while keeping safety the top priority. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your children, and I always strive to make families feel supported and at ease 😊

"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

"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)."
