Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi - my name is Sylvana and I just graduated from Williams College. I offer childcare, senior care, and household services. I love helping out with kids, and have been babysitting since I was in the eighth grade. I grew up in New York, so I’m very familiar with babysitting in the big city! I am also an experienced academic tutor, and am happy to assist in homework help and other miscellaneous tasks. I am able to run errands for the household, or assist in cooking or cleaning. I am also experienced in caretaking roles, and would be happy to help out with senior tasks— I am able to cook and clean, and am always happy to chat. I have experience working with smaller dogs, and am glad to help out with cats or other pets.

Marisa $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a very caring and responsible person that understands the seriousness of taking care of someone else's loved ones, but I can also be very goofy and imaginative when appropriate. With children, I believe in the importance of fostering natural curiosity, critical thinking, and imagination. I also believe in the importance of spending time outside, being artistic, and engaging with new learning experiences for young children's development and sense of confidence. I have direct experience working with kids from spending many summers as a counselor/aide at my own summer camp throughout high school, an education intern both at an environmental camp and a local zoo, and from nannying a 3 year old for 6 months. In addition to that, I am a big sister and because of that I've always had a parenting/maternal side to myself unlocked. I love being outside, playing games, and I am very crafty (painting, drawing, clay/sculpture, collages, dress-up). I also have 3 years experience as a pet walker/sitter and am always open to pet care opportunities as well.

Hello, my name is Briony and I'm a teacher with childcare experience. I love working with children of all ages but have the most experience with ages 3 and up. It's important to me to keep active; whether playing fun games and doing crafts at home, or going on an outing to a park or museum. Modeling kindness and patience is important to me in everything I do. I will love the four-legged members of too and am happy to help out with high housekeeping, laundry, and helping prepare meals for the children.

Sam $25 per hour for 1 child

When I was a kid all I ever wanted was to have an older brother to talk to, mess around with, help me with my homework, and show up for me. The girls my parents would hire to watch us were more than capable and very good to us, but they'd never really play with or fully engage with me. Eventually, I began serving a few families and really found my spot in working with kids. You'll forgive me for saying so - but, they're often easier to spend time with than many adults I know. It costs nothing to make a kid's day if it makes yours. I have 9 years of hands-on experience in supervising and engaging with children. Seeking opportunities that allow me to do what I love and have a meaningful impact on others. My personality could be described as enthusiastic, engaging, and earnest. My skills include tutoring, cooking, and engaging in play. And in my spare time I enjoy playing sports, several instruments, and chess.

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Emily, I’ve been working with toddlers to teenagers for approximately 10+ years and I love it! I have worked as a professional nanny in New York City, as well as a babysitter, tutor and counselor for children in Boston, New Jersey and New York. I am a reliable, organized, and nurturing nanny that emphasizes kindness, respect, and gratitude in the home. I am patient, flexible and overall, believe it is important to reaffirm the values of the family I am working for. I will give age appropriate care to your children and I am here to help cultivate any interests they might have. I also played the violin for 12 years and am happy to apply those skills to develop any musical interests your child might have. I am fully vaccinated.

"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)."
