Booked by 1 family in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! I'm Emma. My journey into caregiving started with babysitting my twin sisters—and I haven’t looked back since! Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for kids of all ages, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. I’m hands-on and love getting kids involved in creative activities, learning games, and anything that sparks their imagination. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing playtime, or just being a calm, steady presence, I bring patience and positivity to every job. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks like cooking, tidying up, and running errands. I also have experience caring for seniors and am comfortable offering companionship, preparing meals, and supporting daily routines. I’m also pet friendly!

Suzanne $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Suzanne and I'm offering child care, cooking, household services, and any last minute overnights you might need for an adults night off! Living in Brooklyn, I enjoy staying active, whether it's a nice outdoor walk, or thinking up a fun indoor activity. My college degree was in educational psychology. I've been certified by Karma Kids to teach kids yoga, and enjoy many forms of movement & art making. Probably the most fun thing in my background was volunteering 6 years with Free Arts NYC, while working FT, and finding different ways to allow creativity to engage, empower, & have fun. I really enjoy babysitting and working with kids, making sure parents can feel at ease. I have watched all ages and have decades of experience and fun skills to offer. Open to drop offs + pick-ups via walking/subway/driving from school and activities, figuring out activities, crafts, and tutoring. I can also offer household assistance, meal prep, cleaning, and running errands. I'd love to see how I can brighten up your child and family's day!

"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)."
