Shira $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shira, and I’m currently a student at Tel Aviv University. I’m spending the summer in New York City visiting home and am available for babysitting. I have over 8 years of childcare experience, having started babysitting at age 13. I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to preteens—including experience with special needs. I’ve looked after up to four boys under the age of ten at once, as well as a one-year-old and a six-year-old with developmental challenges. I’m also comfortable with pets, especially dogs. In addition to babysitting, I have experience tutoring mathematics and am happy to help with homework or schoolwork support.

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.

"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)."
