Azalea $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Azalea and here is a little bit about me :) I started working with kids when a family friend needed a babysitter, but even earlier in life I've always taken care of my younger cousins. I have babysat children from 1. 5 years of age to 11 years old, and have worked with children from 4 months of age to children in the 8th grade. I have experience with homework help, cleaning, changing diapers, playtime, meals, and putting the kids to bed. I have no problem staying overnight, and I am very pet friendly. I currently work at a school during the day as a teachers assistant. I am in school to be an educator. I treat all children with respect, and believe in following all boundaries of the child, so long as it puts no one or nothing in danger. I have my drivers license, and am also very versed in public transportation. I love taking kids out to the park or out for food as long as the parents are okay with it. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have :)

Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi there! I’m a Brooklyn born and raised in Ridgewood/Bushwick. I am a very family-oriented human who loves pets (especially my Marley who’s a mini golden-doodle)! Growing up it’s has always been a responsibility as the oldest of Three in my family, to care for my younger siblings when my parents needed the extra help around. Which evidently got me into Daycare Teacher certification for a Daycare in Bushwick and early childhood education. I worked for many years in to then getting my CPR certification as well. And now currently studying herbalism. I would say I have more than 5+ years of experience taking care, having FUN with children that I care for! Kindly, Dayana C.

Hello! My name is Geovana. I speak Portuguese and English fluently. I’m an organized, fun and energetic person. I have to +5 years of experience with kids from age 1-9. I love to help kids to explore their creativity doing arts and crafts, painting, playing games/puzzles. Going for outdoor activities, taking them to playground or bike rides, drawing with chalks… It’s an honor to be part of the little ones development, share some love and always get it back! I think kids have a lovely perspective. I like to let them know I understand and respect their feelings and thoughts. I always try to encourage them to do their best but also accept some help when needed.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
