Booked by 1 family in Douglaston, NY

Hi, I’m Diane I treat every dog or cat I care for like they’re my own, with love, and patience As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of sticking to a routine, so if you have specific instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure to follow them closely. If your dog usually gets shorter walks, I’m happy to extend those to 45 minutes or more, depending on their needs. I’m also open to taking your pet to the dog park if that’s what they enjoy, or if they prefer some quieter indoor time, I’m more than happy to stay with them inside. Whether it’s a few days of sitting or just a walk, I’ll keep you updated with daily check-ins to make sure you know how your pet is doing. You can count on me to give your pet the same care and attention I give my own.

Madam 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Madam formally, Miladi informally! I’m a warm, energetic, dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with children. I believe great childcare goes beyond supervision. It’s about building trust, encouraging independence, supporting development, and creating a safe, fun environment where children feel understood and valued. My childcare experience includes babysitting for relatives, family friends, and private families, alongside my professional work as a Behavior Technician. I provide one-on-one support to children with developmental and communication differences, helping strengthen their social skills, independence, communication, and daily routines. This experience has strengthened my patience, creativity, adaptability, and ability to navigate challenging situations calmly. I’m also comfortable supporting neurodivergent children. I’m a hands-on caregiver who loves keeping children engaged through reading, arts and crafts, imaginative play, educational games, sensory activities, outdoor adventures, and homework help. I enjoy tailoring activities to each child’s age, personality, and interests while making learning enjoyable. I also love cooking and am happy to prepare meals and snacks, accommodate family preferences, and help maintain household routines. I naturally clean as I go and can assist with dishes, children’s laundry, organizing belongings, and tidying play areas. I believe parents deserve to come home to happy children and a comfortable, organized space. My personality is playful, affectionate, patient, and outgoing, but I also value structure, consistency, boundaries, and respecting each family’s parenting style. I’m comfortable assisting with feeding, diapering, toileting, bedtime routines, outings, and developmental activities. I have professional training in behavioral support and am willing to obtain additional certifications, including pediatric CPR and First Aid, to meet a family’s needs. Whether you need occasional babysitting, date-night care, a consistent nanny, or childcare with household support, my goal is to become someone your family can genuinely depend on. I want children to look forward to our time together and parents to feel confident knowing their little ones are safe, happy, and receiving my full attention. I value open communication, respect home privacy, and keep parents informed about their child’s day, routines, milestones, and any concerns that arise. I look forward to meeting your family!

“I would definitely recommend Madam to anyone looking for a caregiver. She is very kind, patient, caring, and dependable. She takes her work seriously and always does her best to make sure the people she cares for are happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She has a good heart and genuinely enjoys helping others. I believe she would be a great fit for any family looking for someone they can trust.”

"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)."
