Booked by 16 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi, I'm Mary! I've always loved kids, and find that nothing brings me as much joy as working with them. I have over 13 years of babysitting experience, and over 7 years experience as a nanny/after school sitter. I've worked with almost every age, ranging from 4 months to young teens. I have a degree in Acting/Musical theatre from Carnegie Mellon, and find that my experience "playing pretend" has lent itself quite well to working with children, as they have the best imaginations of us all. I'm vaxxed/boosted, and also love all animals.

Hey! I'm Kadiatou, and I am currently attending Mount Holyoke College. In addition to housekeeping services, I provide child care. Since I was 13 years old, I have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and children because I adore being a babysitter. I have experience working as a camp counselor at a day camp and as an intern at a daycare. In addition to providing a loving and engaging environment, crafts, and even tutoring, some of my duties have involved monitoring to guarantee everyone's safety. In addition, I can do errands and clean as a household assistant.

Hi! I’m Josee—a caring, dependable sitter with 10+ years of experience working with children from newborns to school-age, including those with special needs. I am also Infant CPR and First Aid Certified. I’ve worked as a daycare assistant, preschool assistant, tutor, camp counselor, and elementary special education teacher, so I’m comfortable balancing both fun and structure. I’m especially confident with infant care, routines (feeding, naps, bedtime), and creating a safe, engaging environment for kids of all ages. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I communicate clearly so parents always feel at ease. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like meal prep, tidying, and errands to support your family’s routine. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

“Very caring, patient and reliable person and babysitter.”

My name is Keliza , I am 24 a year old native Spanish speaker (written, spoken, and translation) raised in the city of New york. My skills include cooking, tutoring, arts and crafts, organizing and cleaning. Fostering a safe, clean and healthy enviornment for the developement and mental health of a child is of great importance to me.

With this experience I have honed great communication skills with both children and families. My years of experience also come with easily adapting and understanding the individual needs of each baby/child/teen I encounter. I am CPR certified and First Aid Certified.

Hi! My name is Liselot, but I mainly go by Liz. I’m 23 years old, a college student, and a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I work as a Behavior Technician in ABA therapy, providing one-on-one support to a child primarily in a home setting, with occasional sessions at an ABA center. Through my work, I’ve gained experience supporting children with challenging behaviors, following individualized routines and goals, encouraging independence, and developing communication skills. I also have experience using an AAC device with a non-speaking child. I also have babysitting experience with children ranging from toddlers to school age. I enjoy keeping children engaged through arts and crafts, reading and storytelling, educational activities, outdoor play, and age-appropriate games. I’m comfortable helping with meals, clean-up, bedtime routines, and keeping children on their usual schedule. I’m studying Early Childhood Education and plan to transition into Speech-Language Pathology in the fall, if all goes well. I’m especially interested in child development, communication, and helping children build confidence and independence. I’m looking for occasional babysitting opportunities that I can work around my school and ABA schedule. I’d be happy to do an in-person or FaceTime interview so we can get to know each other and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

“Liz had great communication and very reliable!”

"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."

"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)."
