chris $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi. I'm Chris, 56 male, Bachelor's degree in Political Science and English. I grew up in Harrison and Mamaroneck. I love kids and I have been told I am very good with them (and patient, especially for a man). I had a job for over a year as a supervisor to two 14 year old autistic twin boys and we all got along great. I have an award for Children's Literature. I can tutor your child and have lots of age appropriate illustrated books to read with any kid. I have given political lectures and tutored at SUNY Purchase, Pace and Lehman Colleges. I have a beautiful fiance named Michele, 44, who lives with me.

Izabella Cristina $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Izabella, I’m 24 years old, and I truly love spending time with children. I enjoy playing with them, being creative, and creating a fun and safe environment where they can learn and grow. I used to teach English to children between 5 and 12 years old, which helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. Since the birth of my nieces, I have also been very involved in their care. My sister needed a lot of support after having a newborn, so I stayed with her full-time, helping take care of the girls. Whenever she had doctor’s appointments or needed anything, I was always there to support her and look after the children. I’m very proactive, organized, and responsible. I love dancing and singing with kids, doing arts and crafts, and introducing fun preschool activities. With my first host family, I often prepared educational activities and helped with homework and school readiness. I don’t follow any specific diet, but I love cooking healthy, homemade meals. I’m always happy to prepare meals for the kids and even involve them in cooking when it’s safe, I think it’s a great way to teach responsibility and have fun together! I’m very patient, caring, and creative, and I always do my best to make children feel loved, supported, and encouraged.

"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)."
