$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Marleshka, but you can call me Marly. I am a current senior at the University of Vermont, and I am studying Psychological Science and minoring in Japanese. I graduate in May 2026. I am fluent and native in Spanish. Once I graduate, I hope to pursue a master's in social work to become an LCSW and work with those in underserved communities and with mental illness, particularly children. I have mentored for the DREAM program since October 2022, organizing activities and looking after children aged 3-18 with peers. I volunteer at least 3 hrs/week. I have also volunteered in a Head Start preschool and assisted teachers with children aged 5 and younger. This was from September 2023 to December 2023. I currently hold an American Heart Association BLS Certification valid until April 2027. This includes adult and child/infant CPR< first aid, and Naloxone training. I have received study skills training at my university to tutor others, and I had regular tutees this past semester. I love to teach children and do so in a way that works best for them. In my free time, I love to crochet, volunteer, listen to music, and bake sweets! I can't wait to work with you!

Krisly $25 per hour for 1 child

Warm, dependable, and patient bilingual (English/Spanish) caregiver with years of childcare experience dating back to my college years. I’ve had the privilege of working long-term with one family since their first child was born in my early 20s, eventually helping care for all 3 of their children as they grew. I hold a Master’s degree in Health Education and currently work in project management, which has strengthened my organization, communication, reliability, and ability to multitask in fast-paced environments. As a mother to a soon-to-be 7-year-old, childcare is truly second nature to me, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel their children are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I love creating a fun, nurturing, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Families describe me as trustworthy, attentive, patient, and genuinely loving with children of all ages.

Catherine $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Catherine. I love working with children. I was a preschool teacher last year and really enjoyed working with that age group. My age range as a teacher was 6 months to 5 years old. I also worked at summer camps with children ages 6 to 15. I respect and care about children. I will listen to your child, play with them, and treat them like a good friend. I have my driver's license in case it's needed. I am also learning to roller skate if that is something your child is interested in! Happy to meet!

"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)."
