Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hello! Sarai at your service! I’m a CCNY Fall 2020 Alumni with a BA Business Administration. While I chose this degree, I’ve developed a true passion for education. For the past two years, I’ve been employed full time at a school (staff role) and use up much of my free time to book gigs during weekends or weekdays (afternoon/evening times). I think of myself as a super fun, loving & energetic babysitter, but also, reliable, responsible & compassionate. As a perk: If you would like for me to teach your child a bit of Spanish, kindly let me know. I would be more than happy to do so. Be it a special occasion or just a night away from the kids, I'll make sure to take great care of them! Feel free to ask any questions if any. Happy to answer them all.

“Saraai was excellent. Our son really enjoyed spending time with her. We would book her again.”

Maia $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maia Elliott and I am currently living in Lower East Side, New York. I am offering child care, house hold services, and pet care. I have grown up always surrounded by young children as my mom is a preschool teacher so I would always help her with summer camps when I was younger. I became a sitter when I was 11 for all age ranges and started nannying two summers in a row when I had a break from school. I love spending time with kids and enjoy doing many activities with them such as art projects, walks to the park, baking, or also helping with any school work. I am most comfortable with pre-k-5th grade age range but can also watch babies as well. I am able to drive kids back and forth from different activities. Please reach out and I am excited to meet you!

Claudia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! As a warm, loving, and responsible caregiver, I focus on building strong, trusting relationships with both the children in my care and their families. I have a deep passion for nurturing and supporting children's growth, and I strive to create an environment where they feel safe, happy, and excited to explore the world around them. I believe that children thrive when they are engaged in constructive play and creative exploration, and I make it my goal to ensure each child is encouraged to reach their full potential in a supportive and enriching environment. I offer flexible care for children ranging from 1 to 16 years old, and as a licensed and confident driver, I am comfortable navigating NYC traffic to support your family’s transportation needs. I also hold CPR and First Aid certifications, ensuring that I am fully prepared to handle any emergency situations with care and professionalism. In addition to my childcare experience, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, allowing me to communicate effectively with a diverse range of families. I am a US citizen with a passport, and I would be delighted to accompany your family on travels, providing additional support whenever needed. I would love to connect with your family and discuss how I can best support your childcare needs.

"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)."
