Booked by 2 families in Elmhurst, NY

I am local Children's Book author and friend of the Brooklyn community. I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Public Health. During my time at UW, I assisted in Child Developmental research where I studied the impact of social cues on 12mo children. I have a passion for serving vulnerable populations and an understanding of how early life experiences tremendously impact an individual's lifelong wellness. I have over 4 years of experience caring for multiple age groups from Infancy to Middle School in both home and classroom settings. Beyond ensuring that your child is safe and healthy, my goal is to foster a creative and fun environment. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Brittney is extremely communicative, professional, and warm. She has done great with our little guy who can be tough to please. She is patient and kind and isn’t afraid to ask questions. I would definitely recommend her.

Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! I have history working with children in a nonprofit setting and I’ve been baby sitting children from infancy to 5+ for over 10 years. I also have an arsenal of activities for the artistic, scientific, sporty, and philosophical child. I can prepare meals and include the children in that activity if appropriate. I have a recipe box full of vegetarian and vegan meals. I love having children express themselves through multiple mediums and I feel that doesn’t always happen which is why I love babysitting, I get to impact a mini persons life.

Jodiann is amazing! She really shows she cares by going above and beyond. Super professional, timely, and neat. My son makes sure she gets a special invitation to all his birthday parties.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
