$25 per hour for 1 child

Being part of a child’s happiness, growth, and development is incredibly rewarding, and I truly love what I do. I enjoy helping babies, toddlers, and children reach new milestones, learn new skills, and build confidence. Watching a child accomplish something new brings me so much joy because I know I’m helping them grow into amazing individuals. I am caring, patient, dependable, and attentive, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for every child in my care. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages. In addition to providing quality childcare, I have assisted with household duties, meal preparation, light housekeeping, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and transportation to after-school activities and appointments. I enjoy supporting busy families and giving parents peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring and capable hands.

“She’s great with kids, she has a lot of patient. She’s is passionate with job. I strongly recommend her.”

Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi there! I'm Elizabeth. Im 22 years old and live in South Slope :). I recently graduated from John Jay College Of Criminal Justice. I have been caring for children for 8 years as a babysitter and as the oldest of 2 siblings. I have a lot of experience working with toddlers and grade school children. I’ve spent half my life watching over my younger twin sisters who are deaf. They’ve taught me ASL along the way, so that’s a plus! I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. When I'm not in school or babysitting, I enjoy biking and watching shows. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and would be happy to provide references if requested.

“I highly recommend Elizabeth as a babysitter. With her warm demeanor and responsible attitude, she creates a nurturing environment for children of all ages. Parents can trust her to prioritize safety while engaging kids in fun and educational activities. She is reliable, punctual, and has a natural affinity for connecting with children. Rest assured, Elizabeth will provide excellent care for your little ones, giving you peace of mind while you're away.”

Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nicole and I am currently a stay at home mom looking for a side job and also love working with kids so I thought this would be a good idea! I have a one year old son who loves going to the park and being around other kids so if you also have a little social butterfly this could be a good fit. I have worked as a dance coach for kids age 3-13 and babysat for friends so I am used to a pretty big age range.

"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)."
