Booked by 2 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hello NYC Families! I’m a graduating nursing student currently looking for work as I prepare for my licensing exam. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter in Brooklyn for the past five years, and have over ten years of experience working in childcare and youth services. Before diving into nursing, I earned my first bachelor’s degree in sociology and dance, which gives me a unique, interdisciplinary perspective that I love to bring into my work. I’m passionate about education, dance, and play, and I’m excited about the possibility of connecting with your family! A little about me: - I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, where I spent most of my free time dancing or exploring the outdoors. - I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from 18 months to 18 years, including those with a wide range of abilities and behaviors. - I’ve created and led hands-on learning programs in everything from outdoor education and arts & crafts to cooking and dance/movement. - I spent three summers touring with Circus Smirkus, where I supported a troupe of 30 teen performers—an experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of creative expression. - I have a valid driver’s license and have driven to all my babysitting jobs around the city. - I’m CPR/BLS certified and trained in first aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m not working, you’ll find me dancing, biking, rock climbing, enjoying ocean sports, or making handmade cards for friends and family. I’d love to share my passions and experiences with your family, and I’d be honored to help out in any way I can. I truly believe in building open, honest relationships with families and kids, and I’m always eager to learn about each child’s unique personality and interests. Looking forward to connecting!

Booked by 1 family in Forest Hills, NY

Hello, welcome to my page! I'm Ashley. I am 33 years old. I have been around children all my life, helping with babysitting and tending to my nieces and nephews and I enjoyed every minute of it. I am also a mother of a beautiful five year old and she's just the best thing ever. Watching her learn and grow is so exciting and it's definitely given me a deeper appreciation for children. Having a child of my own, I cannot help but spread that same nurturing and love to other children. I treat every child as if they were my own. On a more professional note, I have worked with intellectually and developmentally disabled children, young adults, and seniors. I have over 10 years of experience in that department and in that job, I have performed household chores, cooking, and cleaning, and teaching academics. I also did Dog Boarding for several years. I had over 20 repeat clients and always achieved a 5-star rating. I love love love animals. Especially dogs and cats. I will provide my services with professionalism and efficiency. I have a passion for giving and making sure anyone in my care, feels that sense of love, safety, and nurturing.

Ashely is such an amazing warm and professional caretaker. I would highly recommend Ashley to other families!

Isabela $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Isabela! I’m new on Urban Sitter, and I’m a recent college graduate with a strong background in childcare and youth programming. I speak English, French, and Spanish fluently and enjoy working with families from many different backgrounds. I grew up in a household where caring for children was always part of daily life, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from an early age. Beyond family care, I spent two summers as a camp counselor at the Humane Society of Broward County Kids Club Summer Camp, where I helped lead activities, supervised groups of children, and also gained hands-on experience caring for pets. Whether helping with homework, keeping kids engaged with creative activities, or supporting families with pet care, I bring enthusiasm, reliability, and a nurturing approach to everything I do.

Ana 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ana, and I am a dedicated caregiver with both personal and professional experience in child care. As a mother of three children, I bring a deep understanding of child development, patience, and empathy to every family I work with. Over the years, I have cared for children of various ages, and I am confident in my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I am skilled in managing daily routines, providing age-appropriate activities, supporting academic development, and maintaining open communication with parents. I love working with children because I find genuine joy in watching them grow, learn, and discover the world around them. Every child is unique, and I'm inspired by their curiosity, creativity, and resilience. Being part of their learning journey whether it's helping them solve a problem, express their emotions, or gain confidence, it feels incredibly meaningful. *Im bilingual English/Spanish “I am also available to provide childcare from my home. I offer a safe, welcoming, and child-friendly environment with plenty of opportunities for learning, play, and daily routines. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are cared for with patience, attention, and kindness.”

I’ve had a very positive experience with Ana,She worked with my toddler and supported our family consistently for about 1 year.During that time, she was responsible for her daily routines, engaging her in age-appropriate activities, preparing simple meals and snacks, maintaining a clean and organized play area, and ensuring the overall safety and well-being. She’s also very punctual and communicates clearly, which made coordinating schedules very easy. I honestly don’t have anything negative to note she handled every responsibility we gave her with professionalism. Ana also provided Cleaning services for our family . As an extra job on the days she didn't babysit .

"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)."
