Lashell New York
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lashell, but most people call me Shelly. I’ve been working with children for the past five years, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience I’ve learned just as much from them as they’ve learned from me. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and crocheting, which help me relax and express my creativity. I’m currently a college student studying biology, and I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my care, patience, and enthusiasm to your family as a nanny or sitter

Jemima Brooklyn
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Jemima, a Human Biology student at Hunter College with plans to become a nurse and pediatric speech-language pathologist. Some fun facts about myself are that I am a self-taught guitarist, enjoy reading, and love working with children. Caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating a safe, fun, and enjoyable environment where kids can learn/ grow and feel comfortable. I have experience caring for children, from toddlers through middle school ages through summer camp programs, assisting in a kindergarten classroom, volunteering at Vacation Bible School at my church, daycare, and babysitting my younger cousin. I'm happy to help with homework as I love to learn, prepare crafts, games, and meals in addition to bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged while parents are away. I am an incredibly creative person and love to help with any household tasks. I am CPR/AED certified for both infants/children and adults, and safety is always my top priority. Families can count on me to be patient, dependable, responsible, and attentive to each child's individual needs. These experiences working with kids have strengthened my passion for not only supporting children's growth and well-being but also wanting to pursue a career working with the pediatric population as I know I can make a difference. I'm happy to commute throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, and I'd love the opportunity to support your family!

Evangeline New York
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Evangeline and I am currently focusing on my creative skills as I transition out of my engineering career. I offer child care and household support with patience, reliability, and strong problem-solving and communication skills. I have been working with children since I was 13, including babysitting multiple kids, teaching Sunday school, and leading summer STEM programs for teens. In my previous role as an engineer, I also provided support and care to children, who had various seizure disorders, during their EEG tests. I’m adaptable and welcome children with ASD, although I haven’t taken care of those at the higher level, I grew up with a sibling on the spectrum and have several friends with ASD, as well. I enjoy all kinds of activities, including crafts, music, outdoor play, tutoring, reading, and creative projects, and I bring my experience as an artist to make activities engaging and fun. I have all of the required children’s clearances for working with kids, which I obtained for my professional work. I have also helped with household management, including meal prep, cleaning, and organizing. While I do not typically offer pet care, I am open depending on the situation. I enjoy creating a safe and supportive environment for children and helping families with their daily routines and needs. Looking forward to connecting with you!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
