Courtnie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello Everyone! My name is Courtnie, and I’m currently a 5th grade teacher. I’ve been teaching elementary school for the past five years, and it has truly become a passion of mine. I love watching children grow, explore, and discover their unique strengths in the classroom. Over the years, I’ve cared for children ranging in age from 2 to 12. In addition to my classroom experience, I’ve worked in both daycare and preschool environments, which gave me valuable insight into the developmental needs of younger children. I’m a caring and dependable individual. Whether it’s helping with schoolwork, playing games, or simply spending quality time together, I’m eager to help in many ways. I’d love the opportunity to work with your family. Please reach out so I can give you information to my references if you wish to hear more.

Camila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hola, my name is Camila and I am a Peruvian-American teaching artist based in Brooklyn specializing in early childhood care. If you’re looking for someone to incorporate other languages (not just Spanish and English but Italian German and French), music, and whimsy to your kids’ daily routine this summer then I am the sitter for you! Besides being a babysitter I have worked at summer camps and day cares since I was 15 years old and am comfortable wrangling multiple children at once. Currently I am a counselor and Wilder summer camp, an art teacher at Le Meraviglie Italian center, a piano teacher with Froggy and Hoggy music school, and am a company member of Teatro SEA- the premier theater for young audiences in Spanish. I am fluent in Spanish, cpr (infant) certified, and have a valid drivers license (but no car unfortunately).

Brenda $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Brenda! I am a dedicated and compassionate 30-year-old nanny with 5 years of hands-on childcare experience. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment while supporting children’s developmental needs and maintaining clear communication with families. I have somewhat of a Montessori approach and aim to help children feel confident in their abilities through fostering growth and independence. I genuinely enjoy being with children and promoting their enrichment through classes, time spent outdoors, and collaboration with parents. I love to play, read, go to museums and on playdates, and keep the children involved and engaged. I have experience caring for up to three children at one time and have provided full-time care for a child as young as three months old and as old as ten years.

"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)."
