Hi! I am Heloísa, nice to meet you I am dedicated to my work and give one hundred percent to everything I do. I have been working with children since I was fifteen years old and have extensive experience in the field. Taking care of a child is much more than just a job, but rather a learning experience aimed at always building a bond of trust and care with the family and the child. I also offer other services such as cleaning/organizing and pet care. Thank you very much in advance for your attention to my profile!

Heloisa was a pleasure to work with for our date night. She was so sweet and accommodating as we coordinated. Great communication and was patient with me as I finalized the specifics of my night. She jumped right in to help with my 8 & 11 yo girls, and my girls felt comfortable with her right away. I, too, felt instantly comfortable that my girls were in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her.

Hello Parents, My name is Patricia, im a Studio Art college graduate and originally from Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. My childcare experience began at the age of 11. Living with both my aunts and uncles under one roof, babysitting my younger cousins wasn't a job it was apart of my life. Before graduating from college, I studied abroad in South Korea. where I taught English as a second language in winter/summer camps for younger learners (age range: 5-10). For the past four and half years, I have had the opportunity to care for children varying in age from 2 1/2 months to 11 years old from UrbanSitter since 2012 and working as an on-call nanny for Bright Horizons agency for 4 years. Currently work as Special Education D75 Paraprofessional for the DOE. Working with Children with ADHD and Autism. What I like most about babysitting is developing activities that focus of creative exploration like coloring, drawing, painting, legos, imaginary story telling, stage play, and going on library/park/ museum outings. I also love reading and sing songs. In my free time, I love practicing Yoga, dance, and reading.

Patricia was excellent! She asked good questions ahead of time to make sure she knew what was expected of her during her care of my cats. She followed up regularly with updates and pictures.

Zina was able to come on very short notice when I really needed some help, which was very appreciated. She was great, very proactive and able to relate to our kids very quickly. She came up with some great games for our fairly active boys and they had a good time with her. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely hire her again.

Hi families! I’m Ann-Lyz, I’m new this platform and eager to get started . I’m currently majoring in early childhood development. I love reading and sports and spending time outside. I have three years of experience in child care in many roles, including a little league soccer coach, camp counselor, and personal babysitter. I have experience with babies from five months up to 14 years old. I love teaching kids while creating a fun and safe environment. When babysitting, I prioritize an active and engaging day. Whether that be dance parties, park visits, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, tummy time, or practicing a new language. I have my own reliable transportation and am open to light housework/pet care. Message me with any questions; I’m eager to hear from you! Looking forward to providing an excellent time for your little ones! Currently looking for a full time permanent position

Awesome sitter!! Ann-Lyz was responsive, responsible, and so caring for my two little ones. Showed such a calm demeanor and readiness to play and engage with indoor play, outdoor play, and feeding them dinner to bedtime. My 6 yr old is usually a bit skeptical but took to Ann-Lyz right away, and my 8 yr old said she loved playing with Ann-Lyz. We will definitely be asking Ann-Lyz to come back and sit for us! They had such a wonderful time. Highly recommend.

"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

"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)."
