Shantelle $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Shantelle. I’m a mom whose son recently moved into college, so I have 18 years of hands-on parenting experience through every stage of childhood. I also worked as an after school teacher for three years. I’m also actively involved in raising my four-year-old niece and have several nieces and nephews so caring for children continues to be a big part of my everyday life. I’m extremely patient, nurturing, dependable, and very comfortable creating a safe, engaging environment for children. I’m also a plant-based recipe developer, cooking instructor, and herbalist, and I love cooking and preparing meal prep, routines, homework, activities, errands and light household needs. I’m an animal lover (my Cane Corso/Pitbull Rico passed recently) and comfortable with pets of all sizes and kinds, so furry family members are always welcome! As a parent and business owner, I understand how valuable it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your children home and pets.

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

Hello! My name is Anatea and I am offering child, senior, and/or pet care as well as basic household chores/organizational help. I have been working with children for over 10 years ages ranging from newborns to high school students. Some of my previous responsibilities included: tutoring, driving to school/activities, cooking, etc. I have loved forming connections with the children I worked with over the years and being someone that they can look up to and count on. As for senior care, my experience stems mainly from caring for my grandparents as they got older, and additionally in a clinical setting when I worked as a medical assistant. I am happy to house/dog sit, or take your pet on a walk! A bit about me: I speak Polish fluently and French proficiently. Some of my hobbies include dancing (ballet and modern), tennis, hiking, and piano. I am also AED/CPR certified!

Evangeline $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Evangeline and I am currently focusing on my creative skills as I transition out of my engineering career. I offer child care and household support with patience, reliability, and strong problem-solving and communication skills. I have been working with children since I was 13, including babysitting multiple kids, teaching Sunday school, and leading summer STEM programs for teens. In my previous role as an engineer, I also provided support and care to children, who had various seizure disorders, during their EEG tests. I’m adaptable and welcome children with ASD, although I haven’t taken care of those at the higher level, I grew up with a sibling on the spectrum and have several friends with ASD, as well. I enjoy all kinds of activities, including crafts, music, outdoor play, tutoring, reading, and creative projects, and I bring my experience as an artist to make activities engaging and fun. I have all of the required children’s clearances for working with kids, which I obtained for my professional work. I have also helped with household management, including meal prep, cleaning, and organizing. While I do not typically offer pet care, I am open depending on the situation. I enjoy creating a safe and supportive environment for children and helping families with their daily routines and needs. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Hi – My name is Debra, and I am originally from Barbados. I am a caring, dependable, and hardworking caregiver with years of hands-on experience supporting both children and seniors. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including my own grandchild, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.

"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)."
