Sacha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a 22-year-old college student from Queens, New York with a passion for working with kids. I naturally connect with children and love creating fun, engaging experiences for them! I originally studied Early Childhood Education to become a first-grade teacher, but I'm now exploring a career in pediatric nursing because I truly enjoy caring for children. I have hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings who are now middle schoolers. Dealing with them has taught me patience, responsibility, and creativity in keeping kids entertained and happy. What I Offer: 1. Fun and engaging activities 2. Homework help 3. Safe and responsible care 4. A warm, bubbly personality that kids love 5. Experience with both cats and dogs (super pet-friendly!) I would love the opportunity to babysit for your family. Feel free to reach out! I can't wait to meet you and your little ones!

Amani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey my name is Amani I am 23 years old My experience comes from caring for elderly individuals as well as working with children with autism, ranging in age from 3 to 17. I have always been good with kids and pride myself on being patient, caring, understanding, and dependable. I believe my previous caregiving experience has helped me develop the patience and compassion needed to provide a safe and supportive environment. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to learn, grow, and prove that I would be a great fit for this position. I hope someone is willing to take a chance on me and allow me the opportunity to show what I can bring to the role. I currently work with a family part time but they are very flexible with me I have been with them for 2 years I did not meet them on the app I’m new here but I am willing to get a reference from them. I have been a caregiver in general since 2021 In my free time, I enjoy going to Bible studies listening to music, cooking, going for walks, and trying new activities. I also really enjoy being creative and finding fun things to do with kids, whether that’s arts and crafts, playing games, reading, or simply spending time outdoors.

"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)."
