Booked by 3 families in East Elmhurst, NY

My name Is Alissah . I am a nursing student, currently finishing my BSN. I speak English and French. Some major personality traits that I have are that I am a good listener, I love to make people laugh, I love hosting play dates and expanding my creativity through arts and crafts. I love to sing, paint and read. As a nursing student I have gained some skills such as organization, observation, communication. One of the great trait that I have is patience as I have gotten to deal with kids of all ages in the hospital and tend to their needs. I would love to continue being a caregiver to kids because I can bring those skills and personality traits to light by helping them expand their creativity, provide them with an energetic and fun environment, and tends to their needs. I place a high value on relationships, whether they be with my family, friends, or coworkers. The most satisfying aspect of my work is knowing that I've had a beneficial influence in addition to developing a relationship with the children.

“I will be hiring Alissah again and again! She did so well with my 17-month old son and she was so very worth it. She has a great energy about her from the moment she came in! ”

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.

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)."
