Holly $25 per hour for 1 child

SUMMER BREAK AVAILABILITY! Hi parents! I know how important it is to find a caregiver you can trust. I’ve been working as a nanny in NYC for the 2 year,s and babysitting since I was 12, caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am currently working with a family of 4 boys, ages 6 years to 6 months. I am looking for other temporary jobs while they are out of town for the next couple of weeks. My responsibilities include taking and picking up kids from school, taking them to their various activities and extra curricular activities, cooking and meal time, and getting ready for bed, along with general care taking, playing, and supervision. I enjoy meeting kids where they are at, engaging in their interests and joys, and creating a space where they can feel safe and cared for. I am currently a graduate student studying social work at Fordham University where I’m learning how to support children in meaningful and developmentally appropriate ways. As apart of my program, I work 3x a week in an elementary school doing one-on-one counseling with children ages 6-10 with behavioral and developmental issues. I’m upbeat, patient, and love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive. I’d love the opportunity to support your family! I’m also very comfortable with household pets and happy to help feed and care for them while babysitting. Whether it’s giving them extra attention, taking them outside, or making sure they’re well-fed, I’ll ensure your pets feel just as comfortable and cared for as the rest of the family!

Kateryna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Kate, and I’m currently pursuing my graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling. My classes are in the mornings, so I’m available for afternoon and evening childcare starting around 3:00 PM. I’m a mom of two grown daughters, ages 18 and 19, so I’ve spent many years caring for children and know how much patience, consistency, and warmth they need at every age. I’m comfortable caring for babies, toddlers, school-age children, and teens. My background in Psychology and my current graduate training have also taught me a great deal about children’s emotions, communication, and development. I’m calm, attentive, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children feel comfortable and understood. I’m happy to help with school pick-ups, homework, after-school routines, playtime, activities, and preparing healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks. I’m also a published cookbook author, so cooking is something I truly enjoy! I have my own car , so I’m comfortable with school pick-ups and driving children to activities. Most importantly, I understand that caring for someone’s children is a position of trust. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, rules, privacy, and parenting style, and I always aim to be reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’d love to get to know your family and see how I can help make your afternoons and evenings a little easier!

"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."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
