Wyatt $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Wyatt, I'm 23, and I recently graduated Columbia University. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have lots of experience with kids, both as a babysitter (since middle school) and as a summer camp counselor (throughout high school and college). I have minimal experience with toddlers and no experience with infants, but would love the opportunity to gain experience with these ages. As a babysitter, my responsibilities have included driving to/from school, tutoring, and even drum lessons! I love doing magic tricks, playing games, and doing arts and crafts! I also can work as a household assistant and cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am happy to cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks!

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Fatoumata (Fah-tu-mah-tah), and I’m a New York native who loves working with children and getting to know new families. I’ve been babysitting for about nine years and have experience caring for children of different ages and needs. I also have professional experience as a Home Health Aide and Personal Care Assistant, which has helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, responsibility, and providing attentive care. I enjoy reading—especially reading to kids—going on walks, spending time outdoors, listening to podcasts, and trying new things. As a New Yorker, I’m always excited to explore different parts of the city, and I love finding fun, age-appropriate activities and adventures to enjoy with the kids I care for. I’m also comfortable helping with light cooking, tidying up, and other household tasks related to childcare. I’m happy to discuss additional ways I can support your family. I’m comfortable working with pets.

“Fatou is sweet and personable. My mother felt very comfortable with her and I appreciate that. She was on time and is very responsive. As a native New Yorker, I didn’t have to explain where things were which was great. Will definitely repeat ”

"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)."
