Booked by 3 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hello all! I'm looking forward to meeting new families. I have been a childcare provider for twelve years and I love working with kids and babies. I went to FIT for fine arts, and I love to help children learn to paint 🎨 and explore their musical abilities (I teach guitar 🎸). I like to cook🥘, and my favorite meal to make is buttery cheesy pasta with veggies. I like to play music from jam bands like Kruangbin while helping with homework and studying. I know things have been challenging for everyone during this time, and I am happy to be a strong supportive presence for any family who needs me. Creating a positive, loving, tidy, and structured environment is very important. 📚It’s great to have reading time throughout the day and it’s important for kids to learn by example, so I like to read books to the younger kids, and have book time with the older kids where we all read our own personal books. My favorite book is The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Heidi W. Durrow. For families that like to include technology in their little ones' routine, I like to use fun different language apps to help build a new linguistic foundation. I am an intermediate French speaker so practicing French, in particular, is fun for me. My most recent experience includes working with a 2 year old in Indonesia and two toddlers in Brooklyn. I love playing sports with kids and getting to run outside with them and have as much fresh air as possible. Tag and soccer are favorite games of mine and I like shooting hoops🏀 Everyone's safety is of the most importance, being strict about mask wearing, hand washing, and all around vigilance is essential. Be safe out there, and I wish you all luck on your search! Cassidy

Booked by 3 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hey! My name is Victoria and I’m looking forward into going back to babysitting. I’m Venezuelan and I fluently speak Spanish and English. I'm a certified PCA with certifications I can show upon request. I’ve been working with kids pretty much my entire life, I started with my cousins and then my nephews and nieces, they’d always make my day better back home, playing around and watching them was a really nice experience and that’s why I decided to be a babysitter, I’ve work with infants and toddlers, but all ages are fine with me. I love taking the kids to the playground or the park if it’s a nice sunny day but if not I love indoor activities too like playing games, doing homework, singing songs, dancing, reading or maybe watching a movie if the kids are not in the mood for playing, I’m a big Disney fan. I’m super comfortable with pets, even have some of my own and i’m very happy to work with families that have pets.

Victoria is an incredible sitter. And sitter isn’t even sufficient to describe the support she provided to my son and I. Yes, she can easily do all the tasks required. More than that, she does them with genuine care and goes above and beyond. We miss her terribly and if she lived closer, I’d find every excuse to have her here. My father was hospitalized during our time together. My son was about 4. I got the call and had to race to the airport. Without hesitation she said she’d figure it out and I could take the time I needed. That’s who she is.

Booked by 1 family in Brooklyn, NY

Hello! My name is Davidsa. I’m a caring, responsible, and organized person who enjoys helping families with child care, pet care, and household needs. I have several years of experience working with children, managing homes, and caring for pets of all kinds. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and well-organized environment where everyone feels comfortable and supported. I offer a combination of child care, pet care, and household services, depending on your family’s needs. I can provide flexible scheduling for regular help or occasional assistance. I love reading stories, doing crafts, playing board games, outdoor activities like going to the park or beach, cooking simple recipes together, and helping with creative or learning projects. I can help with tutoring and homework, especially in reading, writing, and science. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals and snacks for kids. I love creative activities such as painting, dancing, and storytelling, which make playtime both fun and educational. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I also have a strong understanding of child safety and development.

Davidsa was truly an incredible nanny to our daughter and became such an important part of our family. She is loving, reliable, patient, responsible, and genuinely treats the children she cares for as her own. She was always taking our daughter on adventures, finding activities for them to do, and helping her learn and explore the world around her. She is bilingual in English and Spanish, incredibly intelligent and capable, and one of those rare caregivers who never needs to be micromanaged. She just knows what needs to be done and does it. I trusted her completely with my daughter, which is the highest compliment I could possibly give someone. We only had to part ways because our family moved out of state, and saying goodbye to her was genuinely one of the hardest parts of leaving New York. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Davidsa caring for their children. We love her and recommend her wholeheartedly.

"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)."
