Hi! I’m Ari! I am a high energy, patient and loving caretaker! I have 10+ years of experience working with infants, children and teens of all ages! I also have experience working with people that have been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. I most recently worked at a local school as a teachers aide during the day for students ages 4-12. And after school as a high school boys and girls club counselor. Additionally, this past summer, I was also employed at a local day care for babies from 3mos- 3year olds in Riverdale, NY. During the school year, I can help work on school work with school aged children just as much as we can go to the park and play! I am open minded and always communicate my ideas with parents/guardians. I also have experience taking care of seniors, going to doctor’s appointments and accompanying seniors to day care facilities in the past as well as medication weekly distribution, glucose daily analysis (pinching finger to measure blood glucose levels.) I am an animal lover with experience walking, sitting and caring for animals( cats, dogs, frogs, turtles, fish, iguanas). I know how to keep a tidy home, wash laundry, cook and manage household errands as dry cleaning, booking appointments, grabbing groceries, post office errands and prepping for religious observances. Book me for your next vacation, work day or night off from the day to day hustle and bustle of NY!

Hey families! I’m Nia, 22 years old from The Bronx. For work I am a teacher’s assistant working my way up to become a full time teacher! Working with kids gives me a sense of purpose. I love being able to give advice to a young mind who is building their way up in the world or just being a friend and someone they can enjoy their time with. I am a pretty lively and active person with lots of energy to keep everyone happy and entertained :). The ability to connect, and teach are at the core of my work along with the mental well-being of the children I work with. I hope to share these values with the families I meet in the near future. <3

So sweet, energetic, communicative, and my boys loved her! Will have her back!!

Hello, my name is Jenifer Aguilar. I currently work with a family of a beautiful 21 month-old baby. I started taking care of the baby since she was 5 months old. During the day from Mon-Fri from 10-5pm. But I like to have extra or occasional jobs, in the afternoons or weekends. I have 7 years of experience with babies and children 3-10 years old. I really like to work, and be very active. I can also help with the housework. I'm here for any other questions. 🙏🏻 Thank YOU

Jenifer did an excellent job cleaning our apartment. Very thorough and efficient.

"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
