With a strong foundation in early childhood development and exceptional organizational skills, I am excited to bring my experience and dedication to your school community. I am currently seeking a full-time position as a teaching assistant while continuing my education, and I am open to adapting to different roles and learning opportunities that support both my professional growth and your school’s needs. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with both parents and colleagues, and I am known for being nurturing, patient, and attentive when working with children. My experience as a substitute paraprofessional for one year allowed me to support students from diverse backgrounds, including those with varying learning needs and disabilities.

I am CPR certified and hold additional certifications that support my ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for students.

Booked by 14 families in Elmhurst, NY

I am a 37 year old Brooklyn native, who obtained my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have an Associates Degree from Kingsborough Community College also in Early Childhood Education. I’ve taught 3rd grade and worked with children in daycare as well as preschool settings. I am the eldest of five children. My sibling's age range from 15, 19, 20, 26. I have experience with special needs children for my sister, age 19, has mild cerebral palsy. My family owns a daycare which is where I have gained most of my experience. My experience with after school aged children involved providing help with homework and snack preparation. My speciality is working with children who have lots of energy. I enjoy being involved in activities such as: story time, arts and crafts, cooking activities, and play time which fosters one on one communication and developmental growth. I am a very organized, punctual, positive, and hard working individual. Working with children is my passion!

Odessa is extremely warm and patient. My three year old loved her and instantly had a connection with her. Our 10-month old also bonded with her from the first day. She was very communicative and the kids had a great time with her. My business trip to NYC with the kids is going very smoothly because of her. I would highly highly recommend hiring her to take care of your kids!

Booked by 62 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hello, my name is Amsatou! I’m a cheerful, caring, and reliable babysitter with over 8 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and children of all ages, including those with special needs. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and very organized. I love keeping kids engaged and active—whether that’s playing outside, doing creative games, reading stories, or helping them explore their imagination. I’m also CPR certified, fluent in English and French (with some Spanish and other dialects), and enjoy introducing little ones to new words and fun learning moments. I’m currently a student at Monroe College majoring in Accounting, and I previously tutored math and economics, so I’m happy to help with homework too! I also love cooking and can prepare healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks. Light housekeeping, tidying up, and even pet care are no problem. Most importantly, I take childcare as a big responsibility and pride myself on being present, dependable, and trustworthy. Your children’s safety, happiness, and growth will always be my top priority. I look forward to bringing energy, kindness, and fun to your family!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
