indielacia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Indielacia, but you can call me Indie! I recently moved back home after living in Ithaca, New York, where I attended Ithaca College studying Public Health and Childhood Education. While in Ithaca, I worked at a local daycare and gained almost 3 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14 and have experience with children of different ages, including toddlers, older children, and twins. I’m comfortable with school drop-offs and pick-ups, nap time, bedtime, meals, diapering, potty training, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I love playing, dancing, coloring, doing creative activities, and going to parks or museums with children. I’m patient, caring, energetic, responsible, and dependable, and I always try to make children feel safe and comfortable. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and other pets. I’m CPR-certified and excited to get to know new families and provide caring, one-on-one support!

Kimora $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hey there! My name is Kimora, I am an aspiring teacher in the making with both classroom and personal experience fostering children's personal growth and curiosity. I have been working in education and Childcare for roughly 5yrs mainly between the Pre-Kindergarten and 3rd Grade range. Meaning I am equipped with age appropriate games and crafts. I am also an intermediate artist and baker so if there are any future creative in this world I would love to nurture that as I do the kids in my own family. Small note if you've made it this far; I do not do crazy colors like my profile picture very often, maybe twice a year. But I wanted to be transparent with that in case my service with your family becomes more permanent in a year.

"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)."
