Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

I have experience providing dependable, compassionate care for children, pets, and homes. I’ve babysat privately for families and volunteered at my local church’s nursery and toddler center, often filling in when extra help was needed. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. In addition, I’ve house sat, provided light cleaning services, and cared for both dogs and cats. I take pride in being responsible, organized, and respectful of families’ routines and homes, and I always aim to create a safe, positive environment.

Marielle $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Marielle and I am a theater artist and experienced educator who absolutely adores working with kids! I studied theater and writing at Brown University, and taught playwriting to youth in Ecuador on a Fulbright. I have extensive experience teaching kids creative writing and theater games, and I always have new creative (and safe!) game ideas up my sleeve that your kids will adore. I also teach US history part-time at a school in Bushwick, and am a history tour guide on the Lower East Side. I love to awaken kids’ curiosity for learning while babysitting, reading with them, and encouraging them to start creative projects that will stimulate their academic growth! I speak fluent Spanish and French, and I can contribute to your child’s learning in these areas. Safety is also my utmost priority, as well as checking in with parents to make sure the specific needs of your child are being honored. I have 5 years of experience teaching Special Olympics, and have worked as an executive functioning coach, so I am well-versed in adapting to different learning styles. Working with me as a babysitter is about keeping your kids safe, healthy, and more than just entertained. I aim for every session to be uplifting for children’s emotional growth, joyful, and educational!

Hi - my name's Mical! A Bushwick resident of 2+ years now. Originally from Connecticut, where I've babysat for 3 families throughout 12 yrs ! I'm a music and bookstore enthusiast, and try to incorporate both in my sitting. I'm also a major foodie, so cooking is a display of love I'm happy to share where I can. -Experienced 3 mo.s old + My longest history babysitting was 7 yrs, to a family of 3 sweet boys and a pup. My double-major in Human Development& Family Studies and Psychology fostered a commitment to promoting learning, healthy attachment, empathy and curiosity in my kids. Childcare and pet care have been the most fulfilling and entertaining work I've done so I'm excited to continue building relationships with my community while enjoying play time! -Licensed, responsible driver (no car) -Red Cross CPR trained

Mical has been an amazing babysitter for our family, and I cannot recommend her enough! She is not only reliable but also incredibly patient and attentive with our kids. The children adore her – she engages them in different activities, ensures they stay safe, and keeps them on their routines which is a hard task on its own! Mical is the one!

"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)."
