Sahira $30 per hour for 1 child

I am 32 years old and I have been working hands on with children since I was about 15 years old. I became a certified assistant provider at the age of 24. I currently work at Bethlehem Group Family Daycare as the Assistant Manager. It is a family business that's been in operation since 2004. Working with children has been very rewarding. I have acquired the wisdom to provide exceptional care to children through needed certified trainings and professional experience. I believe to have the needed personality traits to be of good steward. These traits are patience, empathy, understanding, creativity, compassion, enthusiasm, respect, playfulness, and many others. I am a mother to an amazing and intelligent 6 year old boy who has helped mold me into the woman I am today. I am a lover of animals and have never been without a pet. I also have experience with caring for seniors, as I was the unofficial home-aid attendant of both my grandparents while they were alive. I can also out clean anyone and actually enjoy cleaning.

Andreana $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi I am a 36yo online student at Eastwick College during the day ( taking semesters off to work) and a recent part time senior caregiver. I was a sitter to my 2 nieces and nephew from 2[removed] as my sister went through nursing school. Here is where I gained my experience for childcare before moving into senior care. I love to study astrology, read history books, meet new people in the city and hang out with friends. I am very outgoing, social, reliable, driven, and consistent. I am currently in senior care with a client who has special needs that I can no longer provide. Now I'm looking more into expanding my experience working with children, in which I truly enjoy. I look forward to working with you and providing the utmost love and care i possibly can to your children/child.

Christine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Christine and I am a 26 year old, NYC based actor and nanny! I am originally from San Francisco, CA but moved to New York in April of this year. I am offering child care and pet sitting. I love children and have been a babysitter since the age of 16. When I was a teenager, I watched over infants, toddlers, and middle school aged children. My past responsibilities as a nanny included cooking meals, crafts and activities (my acting experience was a major attribute in this department ◡̈) nighttime routines, and tidying up before the parents got home. I am also an aunt to a wonderful, seven year old boy, and have been helping look after him from childbirth. I am also very comfortable in the kitchen and can accommodate for any dietary restrictions or allergies the children may have. I am a very kind, communicative and honest individual who would be comfortable watching anywhere from 1-3 kids at a time. Additionally, I am interested in pet care! I have grown up with dogs all of my life, and am also a verified Rover dog-sitter/walker. If you have any questions or would like to connect, please reach out!

"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)."
