Booked by 1 family in Far Rockaway, NY

I have almost 10 years of childcare experience. I have a B.A. from San Diego State University in Psychology with a focus in child development. I currently work as a preschool / after school program teacher. I have two years of prior experience as an in-home infant specialist, leading play-based therapy for families with children ages 0-3 with developmental delays and disabilities. I additionally assessed milestones and implemented goals based on their overall development abilities. My duties were similar to that of an RBT. I have a lot of experience working with families with children with special needs. I have active CPR, First Aid, and mandated reporter certificates in CA, and strong references upon request. Fun facts about me: I am a musician, I am a triplet, and I fluently speak Italian and some Spanish. I am also a proud owner of two cats and requests for pet care are more than welcome. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you!

Hi Families! My name is Brianna, and I'm currently looking for a babysitting position for the summer starting June 27th. I currently work as a substitute teacher within the DOE (Clinton Hill/ Ditmas Park area) and have experience working with children ages 3-12. I previously worked with a family for a year caring for children ages 4 and 7 in the Downtown Brooklyn area. My responsibilities included after-school activities, arts & crafts, meal prep for lunch/dinner when needed, and light household tasks such as dishes. I'm available Monday through Friday. Feel free to reach out; I would love the opportunity to help support your family this summer! References available on request

Brianna is a dream. She is a natural with children and very intuitive. She is highly educated and an excellent artist, I love that she has a creative background and is wonderful in entertaining and enriching for kids.

I am local Children's Book author and friend of the Brooklyn community. I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Public Health. During my time at UW, I assisted in Child Developmental research where I studied the impact of social cues on 12mo children. I have a passion for serving vulnerable populations and an understanding of how early life experiences tremendously impact an individual's lifelong wellness. I have over 4 years of experience caring for multiple age groups from Infancy to Middle School in both home and classroom settings. Beyond ensuring that your child is safe and healthy, my goal is to foster a creative and fun environment. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Brittney is extremely communicative, professional, and warm. She has done great with our little guy who can be tough to please. She is patient and kind and isn’t afraid to ask questions. I would definitely recommend her.

"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)."
