I have experiences taking care of mascots Taking them out, feeding them, taking care of them and giving them the necessary attention I have experience taking care of pets, including dogs and cats.

I’ve cared for various children ranging from infancy to 16 years old. I was a Barnard Babysitter during my years there (2[removed]) and have nannied full time since 2023. I have a degree in psychology and a minor in religion. I’m patient, kind, curious, playful, communicative, responsible, firm, and big on checklists. I like to ensure children feel free to explore and learn but also maintain safety and parents wishes. My experience includes taking children to and picking up from school and extra curriculars, preparing meals, bath time, playtime, homework, park and zoo trips and more. I essentially raised the last child I worked with from 10 months until almost 4 years old when he started school full time. O was his primary caretaker M-F 7:30 am - 6 pm and helped him to walk, talk, eat solids, potty training, learn manners, cleanliness, and all the developmental phases from infancy through toddlerhood. I’m comfortable helping with light housework and errands and also have extensive experience pet sitting for cats, dogs and rodents. I’ve had great relationships with parents and children alike and continue to be in touch with all families I’ve worked for in the past. I aim to ensure that what needs to get done gets done but that we have some fun along the way and alleviate parents of some of the many responsibilities you have.

Hi, my name is Lina. I’m offering senior care. I have been caretaking for the elderly in my own family and also work as a household assistant. I really understand their needs and I am willing to help them with love and respect. I also have had my own pet, and I understand how important they are as part of the family.

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my true passion. With six years of experience caring for up to four children, I provide a patient, creative, and calm environment for kids aged newborn through pre-teen. My background includes Early Child Development coursework, CPR Training, and First Aid Training. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, carpooling, and crafts. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am fully prepared to provide attentive swimming supervision. I enjoy engaging children through board games, puzzles, and educational apps that spark learning. I maintain open communication by following your preferred method, whether through daily reports or regular updates. I am very comfortable upholding your household rules to ensure consistency. I look forward to bringing my dedication and energy to your family, helping your children grow and thrive every single day.

“Great service and help. Highly recommended ”

NYC-based. A bit about my background: Most recently, I served as a Public Speaking Instructor for teens through TED Summer School at Barnard College, where I loved helping students build confidence and find their voice. I’ve also nannied children from 6 months to 12 years old, including a 2-year-old I cared for on weekends and during daycare drop-off and pickup. While in college, I was a dedicated part-time nanny for two Bay Area families, and over the years I’ve also worked as a YMCA therapeutic youth mentor, Girl Scout camp counselor, and Boys & Girls Club and Make-A-Wish volunteer. Child development matters deeply to me. I have 20 years of experience working with children. I studied Sociology (BA from UCSB) and understand how meaningful early experiences can be in shaping a child’s confidence and sense of self. When I babysit, I like to actively engage children through imaginative play, creativity, conversation, and activities—with limited technology when possible. I want children to feel heard, understood, cared for, and free to be themselves. I’m also happy to handle bedtime or naps, including winding down with a good book. My availability is currently flexible as I settle into my new NYC neighborhood, so I’m happy to connect about recurring or occasional childcare needs. I’d love to get to know your family!

“Stephanie is a delight! She took great care of our 2 yo. She's attentive and kind and fun. We worked with her as a regular – she helped out with daycare pickup and dropoff, date nights, and weekend care. She was always on time, professional, organized, and communicative. We were sad when she moved away, and our 2 yo still asks about her!”

"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)."
